No amount of 'he is a person, you're a person, talk like people' helps V. It would require he know how people talk like people. Memories of being a child, Vergil's long lonely life after their mother died, his month of existence in Red Grave City, none of it tells him how to behave. More than that, Nero isn't simply a person, a stranger, like the ones he's slowly started to speak with around Folkmore to maintain enough Lore to eat. Conversation it yet will be because it's not a bad time. Conversation—
V's eyebrows shoot up in surprise at the shocking information Nero drops. "Vergil and Dante are sick?"
He confirms it quickly with a question, though no one else could meet Nero's lightly crass description. What could get a son of Sparda sick? Both of them? Nothing he has any knowledge of, and that suggests their host. The show of power to bring two sons of Sparda to their knees impresses him. It's a sign how dangerous she is. If not her, then someone else as well. Multiple powerful persons on that scale are not what they need. Best confirm it's her.
"Nothing more pressing than their well being," V says. His lips flatten. This illness is not a problem of his making, but if he can fix it— If nothing else, V owes Nero a favor. He wouldn't be alive without his help. "If I may be of assistance, please let me know."
No matter what V wants of Nero, it's a bad time to impose upon him. He's clearly taking care of a lot. "If they can be left to convalesce, perhaps you could use a distraction."
