~The next day~

Virgil was laying on Roman's lap. They were both in the common room, trying to ignore the fact that Virgil was cursed. Virgil was sleeping and Roman was calmly petting him.

'He hasn't said a thing since yesterday...' Roman thought. 'I'm worried... perhaps, I should get Deceit to help.'

So he grabbed his phone and went to the contacts list. He scrolled to Deceit's name and tapped it.

R: Deceit, I need your help

D: Why?

R: Virgil hasn't spoken since yesterday, I'm worried.

D: Fine... where are you?

R: Common room

D: Got it.

A few minutes later, Deceit walked into the common room.

"What's wrong with him?" Deceit asked.

"That's the thing, I don't know," Roman said. Then he gently shook Virgil. "Wake up, mi amore."

Virgil opened his eyes and stretched. He looked up at Roman and then his eyes wandered over to Deceit.

"So, Virgil, Roman told me you haven't spoken since yesterday... why's that?" Deceit asked.

"Mew..." Virgil said. "Meow."

"You what? Why didn't you say anything?"

"What's he saying?" Roman asked.

"He saw a dragonwitch yesterday, that's why he ran away." 

"What?" Roman looked at Virgil. Virgil looked down, disappointedly.

"But she got away before he had a chance to get her." Deceit said.

"Mew..." Virgil mewed.

"Don't apologize, Virgil, you couldn't reach her, so what? You tried."

Virgil mewed again. Roman sighed.

"It's okay, kitten, I still love you, you know," Roman said.

Virgil didn't say anything. He just layed there. Roman and Deceit looked at each other, worriedly.

"Virgil?"

Virgil then suddenly got up and hopped off Roman's lap. He ran out of the common room.

"Virgil!" Roman and Deceit yelled after him.
