[Whatever offense Kyrie thinks Vergil might take to her question is entirely Kyrie's concern alone. If anything, he doesn't find it an unreasonable question to ask. Vergil takes his seat beside her once she's settled, glancing at the other passengers nearby to them. It's unlikely that anything is going to happen, but old habits die particularly hard, and Vergil would prefer to know who is where in such an enclosed space. He sets her shoes down on the floor just beneath the seat in front of him before pulling out his Relic.]

She is not from the Underworld. [So, if she's a demon of some kind, it's not one that Vergil is familiar with. That much is for certain. Vergil frowns at his relic for a moment before writing back a response to Nero. After he's done, he continues,] I do not believe she possesses malicious intent towards any of us. She pokes around in affairs and business that do not concern her, and she may push occasionally for you to remain true to your word regarding where your stated morals lie, but it is for her own amusement. She gains nothing from truly harming anyone.

[As far as Vergil can tell, anyways. Not to say that he is not still often on edge shortly after certain trials come and go, but he knows the fox does not mean them harm. Why destroy her own toys when there are more games to be played?]

I would not worry yourself too much over it. You often have a choice whether to play her games or not.

[Vergil also cannot imagine Kyrie has nearly as much by way of old wounds and ghosts and mistakes that litter his or even Nero's past. Some, of course. That is simply evidence that one has lived at all. But not nearly so many.]
