"We can head out when you are ready then. I've little else for the day."

Softer individuals might question V's agreement, provide that reassurance that it did not need to be today just to be certain it would not inconvenience him. Vergil offers no such coddling, assuming V to be more than capable of managing himself and judging what he is capable of doing in a day. He washes and dries his hands after setting his clean dishes in the drying rack. Vergil remains unaware of the leaps in logic and conclusions that V is reaching as a result of his vague introduction of doing anything together at all today.

"Your familiars will need to behave themselves while we are out."

Griffon will just get them thrown out. Even with all the signage emphasizing utter silence is to be maintained at all times within the bookshop, no doubt the bird would take that as a challenge. And while Shadow is less likely to cause nearly as much trouble, he is still a willful being. Better that he remain a mobility aid for V as much as possible if he is to be present.
