These training sessions wouldn't amount to much for you if one unexpected strike was all it took to make me yield.
[Acknowledging that aloud is where it begins to occur to Vergil that it's a bit odd the lightheadedness hasn't abated completely by now. Even if Nero had struck him hard enough to be the source for the sensation (which Vergil doesn't think he did if he gives it a bit of consideration), Vergil's natural healing factor should have put an end to the repercussions of the strike already. Vergil does not allow for this observation to slip into his expression, however, partially out of pride and partially because he does not want to spark some kind of anxiety in Nero over what is most likely a negligible matter. He's already hesitated. They both have. That's enough.]
[Vergil chooses to shake it off. He's persisted through far worse than anything Nero's done here today. A bit of dizziness is only momentarily disorienting. He can manage even if it doesn't show signs of easing up. He promised Nero the morning for this session, and Nero was going to get the whole of the morning from him. Vergil forces his breath to even out.]
There will be time for talk later. Remain focused on the task at hand, Nero.
