You shouldn't have much need of her, [Vergil says, setting aside the emptied container of rice, trading it for the container of curry to be added to his plate. Vergil's wording phrasing of how much use he's likely to see of Blue Rose is intentional, too. It is not as though there are never any threats whatsoever in Folkmore, but rather instead, the vast majority are ones that Nero will need to seek out for himself. It's been an adjustment for Vergil, and so he imagines the same must be true for Nero as well even if it's less dramatic of an adjustment.] But it's good you're prepared in the event that you might.

[Internally, Vergil winces at the words that leave his mouth. The last time he offered overt praise, Nero rolled his eyes and unequivocally rejected it. Vergil could not particularly understood why Nero seemed to take such offense to it beyond perhaps its coupling with a joke that was not particularly well-received was the cause of it even with more time to think upon it. Still, even in the absence of such a joke, Vergil cannot help but abruptly avert his gaze to his plate rather than on Nero to see his reaction. He's been exceptionally careful not to comment on what Nero does since then to avoid the previous misstep, and here he's gone and thoughtlessly made a comment. He pushes past it as quickly as he can in an attempt to sidestep anything his words might have kicked up.]

I'm sorry I could not secure more ammunition for you right away. I know it would likely feel better to put her to some use sooner rather than later.

[Vergil imagines this is the longest Nero has gone without Blue Rose since he's had the gun. So, Vergil assumes Nero would be satisfied with just messing around with the gun in some light target practice to reconnect with the weapon and test that everything truly is in working order in the absence of getting real use out of Blue Rose right away.]
