( dante reacts to that as if shocked or stung, taking a long pause from hastily writing in their notebook to look up to vergilius. if this were the first or even the second time, they would be forced to consider this as a bizarre coincidence, but how many times is this? three or four? regardless of what he claims, there's no way he should be able to so accurately infer what they're thinking. "facial expressions," their ass...

they ultimately decide not to say anything more on the matter, given how the threatening red glow of the man's eyes sends an involuntary shudder down their spine. their shoulders hunch, and they return to finishing their notes.

dante actually hasn't had much opportunity to inspect the kiosks he mentions. they have preferred to question the other people they find (and maybe there's something about querying the kiosks that reminds them of interacting with those disquieting machines they sometimes find in the mirror dungeons...). though as vergilius continues... dante pauses, then they move to the front of the small shop, rifling through some of the things kept behind the counter before returning to him.

they reach out to give him something.

a bottle of painkillers.

it shouldn't be said dante is completely without a sense of humor. )
