"It was a truth universally acknowledged, that two half-demon men in possession of a brother and a sword, must be in want of dueling like the bloodthirsty dumbasses they were..."

Meanwhile, Dante would just do his thing, which currently included Vergil-proofing his life.
Now, Vergil was a big boy who was able to find a place and earn money by himself, preferably without too much criminal activity involved. Dante was mostly confident on his brother’s ability not to fall back into old towers-and-chaos-raising patterns. He'd hooked Vergil up with a few contacts after a firm reminder that he’d sic Nero on him should Vergil murder them; it'd seemed to work. So that front, at least, was dealt with.
Прелесть какая. Массовые убийства и разрушения как дурная привычка. Это хочется целиком зацитировать
The second biggest danger was Nico. The girl was one hundred percent not scared of the big, aloof, half-devil swordsman that sometimes acompanied Nero for their biggest hunts. Whether it was because she’d trusted V (had she?), because she thought Nero would protect her (he certainly would try) or simply because she didn’t have any survival instincts (Dante had seen her drive), she seemed far more intimidated by Dante than by Vergil. She treated the latter as some big domestic cat, a bit bitey but fundamentally tame, and Vergil actually tolerated a surprising amount of demands from her. He'd even sat through a lecture about the ethics of mutilating your estranged son.
Still. Vergil had his limits.
Милота полнейшая: Даже без внутренней пантеры в глазах девушек Вергилий все равно остается котиком. Хотя погладить я бы на ее месте не рискнула.
