[ just

once things have calmed down and xie lian's had a little time to cool off he is going to the role group

finding nero

and very gently chopping the side of his hand against his head. ] Mr. Nero ah, do not throw your life away so easily like that again!

[senjinrouha]

[ he is going to do nothing to stop this. ]

[perfectdistance]

[Hecan find Nero in the courtyard, clutching onto what seems to be a sheaf of wheat.

He does not respond at all, except to slightly flinch.]

[yueshen]

[ he just sighs, after he does it -

and then sits down next to him. it's cuddle week, so, shoulders brushing. ]

...You scared me half to death.

[senjinrouha]

[ AND HE USED A POWER but he's not pointing that out rn. ]

[perfectdistance]

[He... continues not saying anything.

Listen... it cleared his name? (Unfortunately.)]

[senjinrouha]

[ me, snatching death from mira's paws in one fell swoop: IT SURE DID. ]

[senjinrouha]

... Everything about that trial was a mess in a very different way from last week. And it still sucked.

[escardos]

It could have been bad...

[ flat's around! ish! his smile's a bit forced, but he's ok. ]

Imagine if we had lost you, sir? It'd be the loss of a lot of information.

[perfectdistance]

[Is he okay.

Nero looks like he wants to lie down on the ground and just give up.]

Still gotta figure out what that information means.

Might end up havin' to find a different "Reader".

[yueshen]

[ stop ]

I'm not surprised - Mr. Sholmes has a job very similar to mine, from what he said. [ he just leans a little harder into nero, as steady as possible. ]

... Mr. Nero. We're here to support you, you know - in all things.

[perfectdistance]

[The last time somebody said anything like that to him, Nero threw him in jail and didn't look back.]

Shouldn't trust me.

[yueshen]

Why?

[perfectdistance]

's dangerous for ya.

[yueshen]

You've been very kind to me - and you've entrusted me with this information about your role.

[ very calm. ] So why?

[escardos]

I'm guessing it has to do with the fact that he's not human?

[perfectdistance]

[He hates this conversation and he is attempting to leave.]

[yueshen]

[ reaching to catch his arm. ]

Nero - I'm not human either. Not anymore - please talk to us.

[perfectdistance]

's got nothin' to do with that.

[This is Roxis's cards all over again and he swallows down the urge to just run.

A very specific callout post about trusting people and letting people in, but Nero hasn't done that for 100 years.

It's hard to start. The other Sage's Wizards barely know who he is outside of a cook.]

[yueshen]

[ it's not quite desperate, but it's - there's a soft plead to what xie lian says, curling his fingers tight in his sleeve. ]

... Then - please. Tell me what it is. I'll listen - I want to.

[perfectdistance]

[He doesn't want him to listen, he doesn't want to talk about it, he wants to go.]

[yueshen]

[ ... ]

...Though I cannot make you, Mr. Nero - I hope that in time you will be willing to open up to us a little. Even what you have done, now, has made strides - and made me happy, that I could call you my friend.

[ but he will let go. ]

[senjinrouha]

[ he's in front of the door. whoops. ]

[perfectdistance]

[What door! They're in the courtyard!]

[senjinrouha]

[ exit/entrance, it's 3:30am ]
