Vergil is quiet for a moment, looking up at Mizu thoughtfully. It is not the talk of her revenge that draws his attention because those are simply matters that have been a fact for as long as Vergil has known her. Vergil knows this, and so he bears no intention of trying to convince her otherwise, or asking her to stay. She has offered herself, offered as much as she can give while she is in Folkmore, and Vergil has contented himself with that much. That understanding coupled with the knowledge of how deeply ingrained her revenge is with her being shall hopefully be enough when the time inevitably comes.
Instead, it is her comment about White men that catches Vergil's attention. They haven't really talked about it. Mizu declares herself a demon because of her lineage, but Vergil has never once called her as much. That is about as far as the conversation ever tends to go with Mizu changing the subject abruptly. Mizu is not one for arguments, Vergil has observed that much and knows that to be generally true of her. If there is a difference of opinion, she does not concern herself much with attempting to change the minds of others. But it has always struck him as somewhat odd that despite such obvious disagreement, she has never really taken the time to lay out her perspective in more clear detail. Even if Mizu is unwilling to argue or seek to change the mind of another person, she is not incapable of at least providing her reasoning before letting a matter drop.
All but this one matter, in any case.
"Does it bother you?" he asks. "When I call you a human, does that bother you?"
Vergil anticipates she will answer the question at the very least, but a deeper explanation may not occur. While he would ideally like one so that he can better understand Mizu, he is willing to accept the answer at its face with nothing more.
