"Patton. I choose Patton." As much as she loved the rest of her family, it really wasn't a competition. Jane's younger brother always made her happy and gave her a sense of belonging. Virgil nodded, opening the bottle and putting in all kinds of items that Jane had seen but couldn't remember the names for the life of them all and there seemed to be a lot of them.

Dusts, liquids and even a diamond all come from his jacket pocket and into the mix. Jane wondered how he managed to fit them all in there nevertheless in the small bottle. "I-uh... need a piece of your..." He paused, leaving Jane confused. He looked up from what he was doing and gestured to her hair. Understanding what he meant, Jane pulled out a strand of her black hair and it to him.

He put it in the now indigo liquid, it changing back into her normal red hair before melting into the rest of contents of the bottle. A small magic puff erupted upwards and filled the room with purple mist before Virgil capped it. He paused for a moment, shaking with the bottle in his hand. Jane raised an eyebrow, waiting for him to continue. He sighed before he raised the bottle in the air...

Before he smashed it against the side of the table.

Jane gasped as the mist once again throughout the room. She glanced back to Virgil who had a completely vacant expression and both of his hands held out. "Hands." Jane nodded, giving them to him and making a sort of diamond shape with their arms. Virgil closed his eyes for a minute, slowing his breathing down before they were suddenly forced open and they had began to glow purple and shockingly so.

He then began reciting a sort of chant that again sounded familiar but Jane couldn't tell you what he was saying. The mist began to be sucked into the ball and the more that went in seemly made Virgil's eyes grow bright and the markings on his cheeks as well. And then they began to spread like veins. Down his neck and arms until it reached Jane's hand but it didn't stop.

Slight pain shot up her arm, making her eyes close as the patterns circled up her arms.

As Jane opened her eyes, the crystal ball began playing a video of Patton quieting scribbling in a notebook, laying on the carpet. She smiled at being able to see him again, not able to look away from the glass in fear of the vision disappearing. Still the same almost pastel pink hair and light blue shirt as he always wore everyday without one failure. His round glasses still lay upon his pale, freckled cheeks.

Virgil smirked to himself as the pure joy erupted on her face, he didn't think he had seen her smile ever. He pulled a pouch from his jacket pocket. "Wanna see what he's drawing?" Without tearing her eyes from the glass, Jane furiously nodded her head causing Virgil to smirk again. He opened the bag and took a handful of black miscellaneous powder. He sprinkled it across the ball.

It started to glow a gentle purple that seemed similar to the way Virgil's own normally pitch black eyes glowed. The image then spun around around, looking over her brother's shoulder. It was a cartoonish picture of himself and Jane reading together. In the corner, light blue writing read 'I miss you sis'. He still missed her. Jane felt a cold tear steam down her puffy red cheeks.

Virgil sighed, feeling slightly uncomfortable at how emotional she was as he pushed the magic ball closer to her. "It's yours to keep." Trying to pull herself together, Jane smiled and nodded, pulling the crystal to her chest. Virgil stood from his seat and was about to leave when Jane took ahold of his wrist. Surprised, he turned around to see Jane's tear stained but joyful face. "Thank you Virgil."

She sniffled. "I was wrong about you, you're actually a really nice guy." As much as the comment was thought of as a compliment in her mind especially to a creature such as a demon, Virgil did not take as such. He ripped his hand away from her grip as the black under his eyes darkened and drew further down his cheeks. "W-whatever." He grumbled, his voice echoing slightly which caught Jane off guard.

He left the room and just like that, Jane was once again alone with only her thoughts. She sliently wondered if that was sort if like the demon version of showing embrasment or blushing. But despite demons somewhat humanoid appearances, that was where their similarities stopped. While humans wanted to do what they viewed as just, Demons took joy in mortal suffering.

Though he was definitely a demon, Virgil seemed to fall in the middle of that spectrum, not good but not exactly evil either. He had a heart but he still did horrible, awful things. Jane sighed to herself, turning back to the orb making her smile once again. She took in her hands and went to her room to hide it somewhere safe before getting back to her work with new found positivity.
