okay but gimme twins who are weird family members at dinner at nero's. not in a way that they don't appreciate it, or that they complain or anything, more like they are polite to an uncomfortable fault. they just have no idea what to do, at all, without any prompting. you'd expect fourty-year-olds to know what to do around the table.
maybe offer to help serve when there are so many people, or pass a utensil, compliment the food, or help clean up afterwards. twins are so focused on trying to act normal they are completely disengaged from everything. they don't do anything wrong or directly offensive, but it's impossible to tell if they liked anything or not.
dante is so repressed he can't even compliment the food, which he really liked, with words through his mouth. vergil lacks the experience to truly appreciate how well everything is cooked, and can't say much either. they try so hard to stay polite but it comes off as them being dismissive.
afterwards, nero just sits there trying to understand it all. he's glad they've come, and he's proud of himself for being a good host, but he has no idea if they liked it at all. was the food good? it absolutely was, he has tasted it, then how come nobody said anything? they didn't even offer to help with the dishes. what, is he supposed to be their maid or something? no way. does he want to call them for dinner again?... yes, but they were such bastards he needs some time before the next time. kyrie certainly deserves better guests!
