[Rodin nods and grabs another of the bracelets from his stock. Several other designs are also present, all giving off their own magical auras and marked with prices in more of those gold rings Alastor paid for his drinks in.]
If you want, just take him this and tell him it's overdue. Sure is a coincidence, though, now I think about it. Mach Speed, Witch Time, Light Speed...they all look the same to someone on the outside.
[Alastor looks over the bracelet, tracing the triangular gap in it with a finger.]
I wonder if it really is a coincidence...I was gonna wait to bring this up until I could tell Vergil and Nero at the same time, but Joe's got the scent of a nephilim, and his father seems to be in tight with the guy who wrote that setting.
Yep. Don't know if he knows yet, the only parent of his I've met is human, but there's no mistaking the scent. Not that I've met many...nephilim have always been rare, even back in the days when humans and demons mingled more freely.
[Rodin crosses his arms, though his expression is difficult to read behind his sunglasses.]
Angels have a strict hierarchy. Not much room for free thinking when disobedience gets you cast out faster than a worm on a hook, so it takes a special sort to take time off from doing Paradiso's bidding to bump elbows with humanity.
[ Dante is starting to really feel the alcohol and it's making it hard to concentrate on this. He's kind of nodding along, but he's more focused on how warm he is right now. Is this what it's like to drink something that isn't cheap? ]
[ Dante considers what Alastor said, then shrugs. ] Okay, I'll tell you anyway! [ He leans in close, putting his mouth near Alastor's ear and speaking low. ] I really, really like you!

...was Vergil supposed to get one? Should I bring him here?
[ As if he could get Vergil to step into a mysterious portal? Maybe Alastor would have to ask. ]
This'll be useful fighting demons, that's for sure.

[ Dante is in the process of pocketing Vergil's bracelet when he hears what Alastor said. ]
...
Wait, Joe's like me, but with angel blood instead?
[ Well, that probably explains some things. ]

[ He lays his head down on the nice, cool bar. ]
So angels don't like to fuck.

It's true, they are uptight sons of bitches. Though if you ask me, an afterlife without room for a little R&R ain't much of a paradise.
[Alastor nudges Dante, then slides the shotglass away from him.]
I can think of some people who'd be fine with that kind of workaholism.
no subject
[ Dante frowns at Alastor sliding the shot glass away, and tries to grab it back. ]
Heyyy, I can handle more.
no subject
[Nope, pulling the glass away, even as Rodin looks delighted.]
Didn't tell me you had a nephew. How old's the little devil?
no subject
20-something. Not very little!
[ He leans towards Alastor. ]
Heeey, I got a secret.
no subject
I'm all ears.
[Or at least, they're several inches long. Rodin puts a hand to his chin in thought, then nods.]
Maybe he oughta pay a visit, then. Figure the grandkid of Sparda and Eva would have plenty of uses for a Devil Arm or two.

[ Dante then considers what Rodin said, and nods. ]
Nero likes any weapon he can get his hands on! His sword's so extra, it's all vroom... Then vroom!
no subject
[Alastor will be holding onto that glass, while Rodin goes back to cleaning a previously used one.]
Heh, vroom and vroom, is it? Sounds like something another of my regulars would appreciate.

Alright, you've definitely had enough. Stating the obvious like it's a secret is where I tell you to go home.
[Rodin chuckles and flips the shelf back around to show bottles instead of profane accessories.]
Welcome to come back any time. We can work on that tolerance for the hard stuff.
