That's the proof that we're the Sage's wizards. Once you've been summoned by the sage, the mark appears somewhere on your body. Mine's right here.
[He pats his hand on his right flank: middle of his right side, more towards his back.]
Nero's is on his left arm, right below his shoulder. Sometimes they're way more visible though, like Tiny from Central, his is on his forehead.

[ so it's like a cow brand...
shakes that thought off. ]
...If they're meant to be proof, then why wouldn't they always be visible? Doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose?

I mean, it is. I just gotta take my shirt off to show it, since it's on my torso.
Oh. Yeah, that'd probably make sense.
[He doesn't make the rules though, so!]
I could go shirtless, but too many people would swoon, so it's for the best that I don't.

I think you'd be fine. There's only one person whose opinion actually matters for that, anyway, right?
Well no, everybody's opinions matter as long as they're good ones.
[He's got oneitis but he's also kind of vain.]

-and I dunno what you mean anyway.

You're a bad liar. Anyone with eyes can see you two.
Ah.
[RIP their anonymity.]
Don't tell Nero, he'll never talk to me again if he thinks everyone knows.
[This is hours before Nero blatantly kisses Bradley during the mini-event so lmao. It won't be secret for long.]

[ hm. ]
Okay. Aren't you guys, like, hundreds of years old, though? Why does it matter if anyone else knows?

It's...complicated. It doesn't really matter here, but it mattered a lot back home. I wouldn't care if people knew here, but he's still stuck in his feelings from back home.

He does strike me as the kind of guy who gets bogged down in his thoughts.
He does. And there IS a valid reason for it back home. It's just not gonna come up here.
[Not until memshare week at least lol
But he's walking through the bazaar now, looking at all the offerings.]
It'd be nice if he loosened up a bit, but that's just how he is.

[ kazuki listens in silence, soaking that in. curiosity is eating at him, but he doesn't expect bradley to say much more than that, so he'll let it drop. for now ]
He looked pretty happy to be on this planet, though. I found him trying to take a nap in the snow.

[Oh noooo that sounds so cute. He smiles a little.]
Not surprised. Even though he lives in Eastern Country now, he originally came from the North.

Kind of a softie, isn't he.

[It's one of Bradley's favorite things about Nero.]
Yeah? You from a snowy place?

Not on this level, but Niigata gets a good amount of snow. Some parts of the prefecture have ski resorts and stuff, too.
Still, sounds fun. I'm more of a snow guy myself, it sound like the right place for me too.
[He pauses all of a sudden though. On one of the jewelry tables, there is a ring that he's looking at.]

I'm more of a city person, honestly.
[ leans in to be nosy. ]
...Kind of fancy.

It is. But it's the right shade of blue.
[Light blue. Nero's blue.]
You don't see that a lot in sapphires.

Sapphires are usually darker.
[ he can guess at the connection. ]
You sure that wouldn't be too much for him? With whatever baggage he's got.
