2 da spa → vergilius

[axethrows]

[Just because we went to Vegas does not mean you cannot escape the spa day, Vergilius.

It kind of... works out because there is a group of elderly women in charge of one of the hotel spas and they have been hustling to bring people in, no matter who you are or what you are doing. Their services are actually very high quality, Rodya is impressed as she is getting her nails done. She turns to whatever her boss is since he did get dragged in here with her.]

Hey, Vergil! You still here or did you sneak out on me?

[Like the old ladies would let anyone escape without getting rest and care.]

[immortalpoet]

[Hey, Rodya.]

[Here is an abomination of a sight. A horrible pale face with red eyes rises from the seat next to her and...............it's just Vergilius in a sheet mask.]


[He looks unimpressed.]

I would if I could....

[He actually literally could, but he just knows Rodya will hound him down immediately if he does. Let alone these LADIES.]

84 years later.... looks away

[axethrows]

[Pfft. Hey, boss. Rodya held back on letting out a loud laugh, but she still let a chuckle escape. Sorry, not sorry.]

Looking good there! Nothing wrong with giving your skin a little refreshing every now and then~

[Verg, I know you got a lot going on, but have you tried skin care out? Asking for a friend-]

You will feel a bit better once we get done here. Trust the process~

opens my arms 2 you

[immortalpoet]

Don't laugh.

[STOP HE'S SO DISGRUNTLED]

How many times have you done something like this?

falls in them

[axethrows]

Only a few times. I like the hot springs better as far as self-care places go, but a spa is still nice!

[Having access to a warm bath anytime?? A blessing for her.]

I usually do my own nails and routines, but it's nice to get others to do the work for you.

[immortalpoet]

I don't see the point, but...sure. If you care about your looks....

[He sure doesn't.]

[axethrows]

Hey, it's not always about looking good, but it's about feeling good! Or well, feel a bit better than normal. It's kind of nice to clean up yourself after a long day.

[anyways!]

Sooo~ How's things been?

[gossip sir? any gossip? 👀]

[immortalpoet]

You could just do a regular bath...

[STOP BEING A NEGATIVE NANCY]

[The question gets him to gaze off, a little disgruntled.]

...Things are fine, I suppose. Could be worse.

[axethrows]

Nothing wrong with that, but sometimes you indulge in a little extra.

[Better be careful, the ladies might treat you more for saying that...]

Yeah? What kind of stuff have you done around here? There's a lot to do, surely you have done something besides moping around!

[immortalpoet]

[verg: i don't deserve anything extra]

....I work as a bodyguard. So some of my time has been for that. And I suppose I have gotten to know others outside of...just business.

[axethrows]

[verg please.]

Hey, that's good! Good job on getting some non-work socializing in~ You made any friends with folks? [🎤]

[immortalpoet]

........I guess.





[HE IS SO BAD AT GOSSIP PLEASE]

[axethrows]

Details, Verg! Details!!!

[SIR PLEASE!!!]

Friends? Best friends? Special someone that you fancy over? Anything?

[immortalpoet]

Isn't this breaching some kind of professional relationship rule or something?

[YOU TWO ARE GOING TO A SPA TOGETHER]

[axethrows]

Vergilius, we are literally at a spa together. What happens in here stays in here.

[Plus she will probably never really get another 1v1 chat with him anytime soon so she gotta make it count.]

Plus these women probably hear the wildest shit all the time. I don't think anything would faze them anymore if they overhear something.

[immortalpoet]

[LOUDEST SIGH IN THE WORLD]

If you tell anyone else this outside this spa, you'll get what's coming for you.

[......]

Anyways. I. Do like someone.

[axethrows]

Yeah, yeah, secrets save with me and-

[RECORDSCRATCH.MP3 woah.... That got her to quiet up and turn something in her heart. Probably because she likes someone too ans yet Verg saying it out loud towards her was unexpecting. She's smiling even with certain pains in her heart.]

Oh? How is that going for you?

[immortalpoet]

[It's not exactly a happy look he gives her - sorrowful. Absolutely a wet old dog in the rain, here. With a spa mask.]

It's going well. Better than I even expected, but... [A pause, a sigh.] I'm not the only one in her life. And I'm not sure...how I feel about that.

closes eyes as last tag typos

[axethrows]

[oh...]

That's not an easy feeling to sort out. [Oh good her nails are done so her hands are now free from staying still for so long.] The fact that she gave you her time and affection even with her feelings for others... I think that's counts for something.

[immortalpoet]

...

[He's silent for a long moment.]

Have you ever felt like that? Like you just wanted to be...someone's one and only? Ah. That's selfish of me.

[axethrows]

...

[She remains quiet for a long moment as well because something is rotting in her heart and it's called extra yearning. Verg probably won't care aboute her own troubles, but...]

I don't think being selfish is really a bad thing. [Is it truly terrible to have desires for things in your life?] There's someone I want, but... I got told to wait.

[Time is sensitive to her after all.]

[immortalpoet]

...Hm?

[Wait. He turns, eyebrows now furrowed.]

Wait? Why?

[axethrows]

Wish I got an answer for you, Vergil.

[😔]

I asked him his feelings, but he told me to wait for him. It's agony because I don't know if it's acceptance or rejection coming my way. Trying to stay positive, but it's not easy.

[immortalpoet]

You could just put him in a headlock and threaten to strangle him until you get your answer.

[axethrows]

You have no idea how tempting that is right now.
