OPEN POST: V - Devil May Cry

[versifications]

You know the drill! Comment with a starter/prompt, or leave a blank toplevel and I'll come up with one. I'll be avoiding spoilers by default, but if you don't mind being spoiled let me know.

Mm. My mother. Which probably doesn't help the Mama's Boy image I'm trying to shake off.

[With a little self-effacing laugh, he shakes his head, keeps a fond stare on the painting.]

Though I suppose some things can't be helped...

[After a quiet moment, he flicks his gaze back over to V, a little coy.]

Feeling better now?

[versifications]

No, they can't. [It's not quite the humourous retort it should be, and the question proves a welcome distraction. He tugs at a puffy sleeve of the sweater, his serious expression soon quirking back into a smile, however.]

Yes, thanks to both your kindness, and to this. Perhaps I can make good on my offer, now.

[shigure]

Actually, I was thinking I could...dry your hair and fix you up some of the limoncello I was teasing about earlier, first?

[An amused grin pricks at his lips.]

...unless you're really looking forward to that massage.
