[So this is the consequence of fucking around and finding out. Unpleasant, to say the least, but Lobelia isn't going to desperately scrabble to escape like a cornered rat. No, if anything, all Vergilius has achieved is guaranteeing he won't be rid of Lobelia any time soon.]
You know... I've never fancied myself a thief, but I'm considering a change in vocation.
[Vergilus has something he wants more than anything, after allβ rather, he had it, but whatever traces of happiness remain within Vergilius are incentive enough for Lobelia to pick him apart in search of them.]
Au contraire, you should be happy for me! After all, it may be true that I've lost my footing of late, but you've done me a service by setting me back on the right path. What a kind man you are!
Think nothing of it, Vergilius! Your cares are your own, as are mine. I simply need to thank you for illuminating the path forward.
[That momentary jealousy, that flash of anger... it all dissipates under the saccharine sweetness of the taste of happiness Vergilius has granted him. Tearing what remains of that happiness out of him should bring him nothing but the finest pleasure.]
We'll meet it again whether you like it or not! Take care not to fall to anyone else's hand until then!

[Whatever psychological wounds he made are clearly not his problem anymore. He's petty, will continue to be petty, and will be petty forever.]
Anyways, I'll be blunt. I don't care. Whatever path you want to go down, leave me out of it.

[Enjoy the sound of water, loser!!]
