What I mean is that this world is full of places that are less than safe to wander. At least, not for a man in a state such as myself. It would do to have a weapon like Yamato at my side, and someone to wield it. Wouldn't you say?
[and despite his best efforts, it still sounds like v is trying to arrest him with riddle-like quality to his words. it takes dante a moment to respond further, because, for once, he doesn't want to jump to conclusions--and he sure does hate getting called out as being stupid in the eyes of his brother (human-half of his brother or otherwise).]
you want my help, then.
in that case, you know you only need ask. i'm not the complicated one out of the two of us. i'd like to learn about these less-than-safe places.
I do need your help, whenever that might be. I can trust you to wield the Yamato, I assume, as long as you give it back.
[That is the number one rule, a sticking point between brothers that won't ever seem to change, no matter if Vergil manifests himself as Urizen or V, apparently. Give his sword back.]
Not that I expect the need to skewer anyone with it any time soon, but it is as they say... Better safe than sorry. And I would be useless with that blade in-hand, compared to you.
you're right. i doubt you can do anything with it. same as when you had the devil sword in your hands. if it helps you feel better, you can keep the yamato.
i call dibs on monitoring you though.
[consider it a deal, though dante's own end is perhaps more an attempt to show his willingness to hold a fair exchange between the two of them. he'll give, so long as he also gets.]
last time you asked for my help you paid upfront. i'll do this one for free.
since we're family and all.
but.
well. with the yamato here, how about slicing up a portal back home, or is the blade dull in this world?
Aren't you generous. 'Monitoring', however, meaning what exactly? I'll not have you hovering outside my door 24/7; that's simply annoying.
I considered that. But I haven't the strength to do such a thing, nor do I think it would work given that our powers seem to be rather... defunct in this world.
You are more than welcome to give it a swing, though.
["More than welcome" is a liberal use of the term, but as long as he gives it back... it's fine.]

[thankfully he'll never get an address for the place.]
drop it with the suspense and say what you mean, v.
no subject
But I don't need a house-warming party.
[He sure won't ever get the address.]

don't worry. no hard feelings.

i got better things to do than "hovering outside your door." so. no. i'm not going to do that. don't worry about it, big brother.
i'll gladly give the yamato a swing, take it out for a spin.
you can have it back after.
[he'll respect v's wishes.]
got some news from my end, too. i got a history in new petersburg as a manager.
some interesting connections have come out of that.
no subject
A manager of what?
no subject
[please hear the smugness in his written words.]
some bank is offering me a loan.
speak of rash decisions.

So what are these connections?
no subject
what's that supposed to mean.
[you barely know him!!]
[but on with showing off a little his non-accomplishment]
i curry the favor with some pretty shady individuals. it's weird enough to get recognized by some shop owners.
can come in handy for your little plan.
[less work for dante, he means]
