Yeah, sure. [ It's so easy to settle into this sort of rhythm. Orders given and received. ] I've got an in with Thebe. They're the one that mixes drinks.
"That feeling". Looking at people like they're prey?
[ Nero knows what Northeners are like, he used to be one of them. He also couldn't stand it up there and moved to somewhere way less crazy. ]
I'll keep it in mind. Keep me posted.
[ Another slow sip of wine. ]
From what it sounds like, that Sora lady is a head of a school and a protector of a world. She's about as suspicious as Faust would be in a place like this.
Wouldn't dream of it. I can't leave you hangin' like that.
[They have a promise after all, and they can't keep that promise if Bradley dies.]
'sides, it sounds like a pretty easy mission. We're just delivering some stuff. Apparently we're seeing different worlds too, maybe we'll find the sage's world while we're out here.

Sounds like it's just money. You wanna follow up on that?

[The rest of the crew does not need to know about their revenge plot. For now, he will sippy his wine.]
There's a guy here with a tattoo on his neck. I don't get a good feeling from him.
no subject
Tattoo on his neck? Don't think I've met 'em yet.
no subject
He's really perceptive, and he kinda has the feeling that the other Northern Wizards have. You know, that feeling.
[So descriptive. But Nero was born in the North, maybe he knows.]
Just something to keep an eye on.

no subject
For a moment I saw it there. I'm gonna keep talkin' to him to find out more about him, but be careful.
[All it takes is one unhinged person for Violence to happen, and Bradley knows this because he is indeed an unhinged person.]

[Then he remembers something and grins.]
Tiny rockstar is kinda like you.
no subject
You mean Kazuki?
I dunno, he doesn't like bein' bossed around. [ Nero "Don't make me decide" Turner. ]
no subject
[Not as often as Kazuki, but sometimes.]
no subject
You're the most stubborn guy I know.
[ Which is somehow as annoying as it is comforting. ]
no subject
Guilty as charged.
[He's leaning in a bit to bump shoulders with Nero. These are his favorite kind of nights.]
no subject
Nero doesn't deserve it, but he also can't help taking what's offered.
After all, his life is Bradley's to do with what he will. ]
Do me the favor and keep yourself safe while we're out here?
no subject
[No promises, but he'll try.]
'sides, we're both on this mission. You'll be right there the whole time to see that I'm being safe.
no subject
[ Bradley will get yelled at otherwise. ]
We need to finish everything up back home.
[ And then Nero can finally die. ]
no subject
Wouldn't dream of it. I can't leave you hangin' like that.

[ Please, he's promised you his life. He won't run away this time. ]
Earth? I'm pretty interested in seein' it if we could. Plenty of people seem to be from there too.
no subject
[He wants to take Nero on a date somewhere nice too. He deserves it.]
Maybe this'll be more like a vacation than work, who knows.
no subject
Wouldn't go that far. Work always feels like work. We'll have to see how it actually pans out.
no subject
[Taking another sip of his wine now.]
The free drinks are good at least, yeah?
no subject
[Sips]
Not as good as Shylock's but that's a high bar.

["I love you

no subject
Riquet would probably agree with you.
