[They only got to do something with her once, but that sounds about right. They're pretty sure they wouldn't have gone out to try fishing on their own.]
It's definitely harder than people make it sound.
[Including certain people in front of them now....... Sigh.....]
Probably. I didn't get much time to know her, but she did seem pretty... eager.
[It's a little hard for them to divorce the person they spoke to with the one from the recordings in their PDA, even if Malkuth herself seemed to see that version of herself as a different "life."]
You've got a point, though. ...Maybe work can be a hobby too if you squint?
[Surprise is writ plain across their features as they blink back at him.
For some ridiculous reason they'd thought it would be harder for him to tell what's on their mind with their ticking muffled and minute and hour hands disguised. Now they have to wonder: are they even easier to read with the cloak up or has Vergilius been able to read minds this whole time?

[Bright like sunshine. His Miss Duck.]
[He makes a face at Dante's follow-up, though.]
Even I'm not so much a workaholic to believe in such delusional statements, Dante. Neither should you.
no subject
[The phrase "If you do what you love, you'll never have to work a day in your life" had to come from somewhere, didn't it?
Not that they ever really understood that phrase. They don't mind their job that much, but boy do they have to work for it.]
I'll just... keep looking out for something.

[Distractions. He needs distractions. Vergilius stares off - now he's remembering again. The lost, the ones they can't find.]
I would join you.
no subject
There's no getting around this is there?]
Something's really getting to you today, huh?
no subject
[A look back at them, before heaving a sigh.]
It's nothing. These days are dragging on, is all.

They can't help but think back to the warmth in his expression under that tent the day Don Quixote challenged that Fixer.]
...We're gonna find them, you know.

[He really can't reveal more than he should. Their relationship is professional. Don't make friends with this okd guide.]
...I guess we'll see.
[The most he can say. Or allow himself to.]
Sooner hopefully. Rather than later.
no subject
["Believe in me."
"Trust me."
It's what they want to say, but even they know the situation is more complicated than what the assurances they've already given.]

...I'll believe in you. Dante.

It's nice to hear, though.]
R-Right. Thanks. I'll be doing my best.
no subject
...I did say you were the best person to converse with on that bus. I don't find you hard to understand, even now.
[Heh.]
no subject
[Tells that they still have yet to identify. Maybe they carry over when they look like this? Everything from the neck down is still the same.]
...I'm thinking too hard about this.
