I'd call that "none of your business".

I'm right, aren't I?

[He stops, turning to regard Dante thoughtfully. Then turns and heads in a different direction, expecting him to follow.]

[ ... gives him a Look before turning to follow ]

I thought this wasn't going to be therapy time?

I've changed my mind. And you're still walking with me.

We could go back to throwin' bread at ducks!

Now you're interested? It's far too late for that, Dante!

What, they all fly away?

No. My interest has simply shifted.

Much as I would like not to like you it is hard for me to ignore someone so guarded and lonely.

You know you can't take over my body here, right?

Is that where you think my interest lies? That would make kissing your brother rather awkward.

-- hey, if you take me over, no kissin' allowed!

How would you stop me?

[He's just, laughing.]

I'd never brush my teeth again.

Oh don't be gross.

[Like talking about kissing Vergil in Dante's body isn't. He pats his arm though.]

Anyway, I do not want your body, rest assured. Though I think you might prefer it if I did.

Tell me what happened to you, after your mother died.

I ran off, made a fake name and started a business! No biggie.

Mmhm. At how old?

... 'kay, so there was some stuff before the business. Since I was a kid and all.

What "stuff", Dante?

Why's it matter to you?

How fast would you run or deflect if I said I merely wish to understand you? Perhaps even care.

Look -- if you're good for my brother that's fine, but I don't need you carin' about me.

Let me ask, do you need anyone "carin'" about you?

I don't want you, in particular, caring about me.

That didn't answer my question.

[ bluntly: ]

I don't mind people caring.
