[Vergil comes to a stop then.]

I would do that because that is part of my responsibilities as your father, Nero. You heal and recover very nearly the same as a human would. Illness and injury pose a greater threat to you, and I could not possibly sit idly by while you are clearly suffering.

[And it may be tempting to throw that back at Vergil as the argument for issuing such concerns now, but he's quick to cut that off at the pass.]

I appreciate that you care, but unless you happen to find me on death's door again somehow, there is little reason to exercise such concern.

[Throwing up and being a little dizzy are hardly anything compared to what Vergil has survived through in the past, and absolutely do no merit alarm in his opinion. He's not at some great risk and he is not suffering. There's simply no need for such an overreaction from Nero.]
