[Well. You've seen his screenname, obviously he does. He chuckles and eases into a more comfortable position on the bed, letting Kyrie flop and snuggle however she pleases once he's settled on his back.
Nero can't help but smile a little wider when she points out how much he and Vergil look alike.]
Yeah. I had a hard time believing it myself... hard to think he's my dad too, except it's like looking in a mirror sometimes.
[He's going to have to get into this somehow. Slowly. Carefully. So he takes a breath and wets his lips.]
He, uh. He's had a really rough life. I don't know all the details but he was... gone for a long time. I think in the Underworld. He's kind of prickly and sometimes he's like a feral cat. Hissy and nervous and poorly socialized?
[A soft, good-natured laugh.]
He's been trying really hard though. Trying to be a better person and a father. He's changed a lot. I wouldn't be calling him "Dad" if he hadn't earned it from me.
