Because you're sulking. And while I sympathize with the urge to shut oneself away from the world, you can't expect to do so and not earn some concern. You can take every hit from even the most powerful demons, but you're like a child when it comes to dealing with your emotions. Your reaction to Vergil was evidence enough of that.

[sighs]

Have you spoken with him since then?

From:

devilmightcare

[ pointedly he remains silent at the mini-lecture (which is how he is viewing it), but there's an audible exhale at the question. ]

.. No.

Didn't feel like there was anything worth sayin' to him. You guys talked, though?

From:

selfpreservationist

We did. Nero and I are... keeping the details of our respective relationships to him a secret, for now. It's too much to explain on top of everything else, so we're waiting for the right time.

From:

devilmightcare

Wooow.

So, doin' exactly what you guys chewed me out for doin'?

From:

selfpreservationist

...

Yes, we're being hypocrites. That's... the other reason I wanted to talk to you.

[ raven can't see his dumb grin but he can probably hear it. clearly expectant : ]

Uh-huh?

From:

selfpreservationist

[there's a long few moments of silence

followed by a deep, deep sigh

followed by more silence]

... I'm... sorry. For... getting on your case about... our memories.

From:

devilmightcare

[ HA ]

See? Lot harder when you're the one holding the bag with all the beans in it, right?

From:

selfpreservationist

[ugggghhhhhh]

It's... still not an ideal way to go about things. You withheld information that could have prevented Nero from transforming. So you're not exactly in the best light, either. And... the only reason we're not telling Vergil about who we are is that it's obviously very complicated, and in my case, defies explanation.

[sighs]

... still... still, I... could have taken it easier on you. I... we... understand your hesitance. But none of us should hold information back for our own sake anymore--not with Vergil around.
