[Vergil watches Nero as he steps away to fetch his water bottle. He does not reach for it right away. Not until his apology comes spilling out the way it does. Vergil reaches for the water bottle then.]
Nero, stop. [Being still now allows for Vergil to more easily hold Nero's gaze. Vergil looks at him with a furrow in his brow, his expression serious and firm. He doesn't want Nero blaming himself or apologizing. Even if he were solely responsible, Vergil wouldn't accept it.] Whatever this, you know I spar harder with others.
[Mizu and Vergil only hold back as far as avoiding anything that could kill the other. Dante and Vergil go until they both dread the thought of moving any longer that they are so tired and sore. Nero is more of an outlier in that regard. Vergil doesn't exactly take it easy on him, but neither does he demand Nero approach these training sessions with the same intensity as even Dante.]
[Vergil takes a swig of water to swish around in his mouth, turning his head aside to spit it out again before taking an actual sip.]
