Placing his free hand on Mizu's opposite side, Vergil pushes himself to sit up a little better and bring himself closer to eye-level with Mizu.
"Help me understand it then," Vergil says, his words a request and not a demand. Mizu still has the right and the ability to refuse. But she is ultimately correct in that he does not understand it any better than anyone else what she means when she calls herself a demon. It is also true, however, that he cannot possibly understand it if she does not explain it to him. "I only have the context of what a demon is in my world, which we both know you are not, and I've never thought you attempted to claim you were exactly. You've never explained to me what it means in your world."
He pauses a moment, a thoughtful look on his expression before he adds, "And I've not thought to ask."
Vergil believes that has been partially due to his own ignorance and assumptions, and partially to her avoidance of discussing this topic at any particular length. It is difficult to think of such a question when the topic appears to be otherwise taboo.
"You say it erases a large part of you though, and I've no desire to do something like that even out of ignorance because I meant what I said when I told you I want everything." He strokes the back of her hand lightly with his thumb. "So, help me understand."
