"Having problems is one way of putting it. Given that we're having this conversation, I'd say you're a bit better about it then he was."

Nelo's question was only a sad reminder of the truth: Things between Dante and Vergil were about the opposite of great, and that was likely to go south all over again. "Perhaps you will, or perhaps you'll get out there and show me that you can do better than your idiot brother. Maybe that's what's missing: you used to prefer taking and competing to waiting."

Well, that was depressing, time to end on a positive note. "Only thing I can be sure of is that I'll still annoy you no matter what."
