"You know if you hadn't been suspicious with the way you were holding me I wouldn't have implied that you were stealing, and I would have probably given you something for wasting your time with me." She was beginning to get more and more suspicious with that emotionless strait face she was pulling whenever she answered, it was sort of getting creepy.

The student shrugs again- and her face is hardly emotionless, but doesn't reveal anything to confirm or deny her having stolen. "I was holding you up so you wouldn't fall down- you were doing that, remember? Anyway- I only took one from your pocket. Here."
Rather carelessly, she tumbles the coin down her sleeve onto the tip of a finger, and flicks it over to him- it spins in the air, and should he fail to catch it, it'll hit him between the eyes.
At that moment, the doctor comes back in, with ice and a couple tablets of aspirin. "Take these," she says crisply, "and don't do too much over the next few days. If you do, it's liable to get worse."

Vergil flung the coin back at her after catching it, seems he was still quite vigilant and responsive. "keep it... as a thank you." He looked at the doctor. "how long would you recommend?" He pressed the ice to his head and popped the tablets of aspirin.

A little surprised, Rose catches it just as easily as he had, and tucks it away again, into some unseen pocket. "...thanks." For the first time, she appears to give him a small smile- but it could be a trick of the light; it's gone as quickly as the coin he tossed her.
The doctor looks between the two of them, and raises an eyebrow. "Based on your reflex response, so soon after being concussed? I'll go with three days before you're allowed to get into any fights."

"then you would have me go home and rest correct? I might as well no point in hanging around here." He stood up to leave but he had to sit back down again from a sudden shock to his system. "maybe it's best I have an escort." He knew he wouldn't be able to get back alone and that is where rose was going to come in yet again.

Vergil took Rose's hand and instead of putting an arm around to her left shoulder he used her right shoulder for stability. "I don't think we should get very close this time." Once he was satisfied that he was stable he motioned with his free hand that he was ready to go, but not before flipping three of his gold coins into the doctors hand.

Rose shrugs. "I take no offense to that," she answers as he tosses the coins to Black Jack, who hefts them once before nodding, and waving them out.
He seems pretty free with his money, the student thinks, settling him onto her shoulder. It'd make taking anything more difficult, but with what he'd just shown her, there wouldn't really be a use for stealing. Whether or not he had a motive, though, was another matter entirely.
Yes, he needed an escort- but why would he give her the coin back, knowing he'd stolen it? He didn't seem the sort to take pity on a poor student, so it was either cash he had to burn, or some kind of foolish, misguided affection. Here's hoping it's not the latter; he hasn't known me for long enough, and the time he has known me, we haven't gotten on.
"So... where is your house?" she asks, as they arrive on the streets.

"It's in the upper floors of my guild, located in the Ivory Ward." He tightened his grip on her shoulder for a split second as he adjusted his eyes to the outside light. He was feeling much better now and his vision wasn't so blurry but it was going to be better safe then sorry.

"The Ivory W-? No wonder you didn't mind," she says, and laughs. The grip on her shoulder doesn't go unnoticed, but it's something she's familiar with- her mother's fibromyalgia would often induce photosensitivity, so she understood that a concussion might bring on a similar reaction.
"Let's go, then," she says, abandoning the pleasantries in lieu of efficiency.

"ha I'm not that rich but I have enough to pay someone as kind as you without worry." Once they were outside the guild he took hold of the railing and ascended the front steps. "you're free to come in if you want but I wont be requiring your assistance any longer." He slowly opened the door to the empty guild.

Rose raises an eyebrow, a little surprised by his sudden change in heart- last time she saw him, he'd seemed to find her annoying. I suppose taking him to Black Jack counts as kind, though it was hardly for that reason I took him there. He recognized me, and it'd be terrible to leave him downtown with a concussion like that.
"Well- seeing as you're in no state to attack me, I wouldn't mind having a look at the rooms you mentioned to the Maven."
It's a test- she's curious about what sort of lodging he would have given to Sona, and she wants to see what the inside of the building looks like. It was a fairly large place, so she's fairly certain he's underplaying his wealth- which is wise, given what he's seen of her tendencies.

The main room was simple a counter at the back with several couches along the walls there was a door behind the counter with a large bookcase filled with rather thick books, on one side of the counter was a stairs going up and another one going down on the other side. "The rooms are upstairs the tavern is downstairs." Vergil made his way to the stairs going down. "you're welcome to take a look around but please don't take anything, I don't think anyone would be happy if you take a family heirloom or something and I would hate to have to hunt you down for it. As for me I have to go sit down so you can find me downstairs." He disappeared down the stairs leaving Rose free reign over the place. The second floor had pretty simple rooms nicely made indicating that they were not in use the Third floor had 4 messy rooms along with 2 others like the ones bellow, one the fourth floor there were really nicely kept fancy rooms indicating they were premium class rooms and with how they were kept were not in use either.

When she sees the books, she grins, and heads over to them. Maybe I'll find something of use for studying here- it is a mercenary's guild, so it would make sense. Her studies at home haven't gone well; mainly because she can recite half her books by heart already.
Perhaps some new material would help... after this, I'll go take a look around the place. Once I'm done with that... eh, I'll go ask him if I can borrow some books, then say goodbye.

Rose would find most of the books were guild logs and operation reports but one book held something along the lines of the Dreadstorm family history and the history of some sort of gemstone that supposedly glowed. The other books would be lacking in any useful information why else would they be behind the guild desk.
