[It's not like anybody is keeping score here. But it feels good when Nero feels like he scores a point with Vergil, in various forms. Getting through to him, getting him to understand what he means to say, getting him to explain something he likes or to ask Nero about one of his projects. Feeling like they've connected somehow. They've gotten to know each other better over all this time, but sometimes the gulf still feels so wide. So it's satisfying when he thinks they've thrown another rope across it to bridge it, even if it's as simple as Vergil not blowing him off when he shows concern for his well-being.
He's not sure what he's expecting when Vergil comes over. A hug certainly isn't it, and the way Nero's sitting on the couch arm it does create a bit of a funky angle for him to have to twist. But after the initial surprise wears off, he wraps a firm arm around his father to return the gesture for as long as he wants it.
Nero frowns sympathetically when he admits it was a nightmare. Sincerely doubts Vergil will say more, nor does he want to pry, but jeez... this really is a mirror of that night he woke up sick a few months back.]
I'm sorry. You know what always works for bad dreams?
