[He's not entirely convinced that she's completely well given how much she's been sneezing, how warm her forehead felt earlier, and simply not knowing how long she had been wandering out in the cold with improper clothing for the season, but Vergil chooses not to debate the matter. It's not a battle he's liable to win judging by her consistent insistence that she's fine, and it's not really his to fight in the first place. Nero can manage it with far greater success.]

[So, he nods slightly in acquiescence and agrees mildly with,]
That is good.

[It's only a brief remainder in his exchange with Nero before Vergil closes and pockets his Relic.]

Nero will be at the station. [Vergil glances and nods at her tea.] I am happy to hold that for you when we make it there.

[It's less out of a courtesy per se and more... Well. Vergil knows his son is an enthusiastic hugger to say the least. He may not try to take Kyrie out at the knees the way he does Vergil, but Vergil finds it difficult to imagine Nero will let Kyrie stay on the ground for long at first. Whatever remains of her tea is probably safer in Vergil's hands when they first arrive.]

[For a brief moment, the train is plunged darkness as they reach the foot of the mountain and enter into the tunnel. Unlike during that absurd murder mystery trial, the train's lights do not go out and leave them in the complete dark as they pass through. The darkness does not last long, however, and they are on the other side in Epiphany soon after. True to Vergil's word, Kyrie will be able to see the immediate climate difference between Epiphany and Wintermute with the lush signs of spring on display.]
