Nero opens his mouth to make a comment about how he didn't realize that Martin had an authority kink, but it gets sidelined in favor of what else is said. His ears lift a little in interest at what is said and what isn't said.
Jon said you would be against someone else dying, but you're a lot more cold-hearted than him, huh? He smiles in a warm, overly friendly way. The psychotic twisted smile fades to something legitimately pleasant. But given the topic of conversation, it most likely offers little relief or comfort.
"I think that he likes it that way. It means no one else has to suffer, but really, he underestimates the suffering people experience when someone else is acting as a martyr for them." Case in point, Martin. "It puts a real burden of guilt on those with any conscience to speak of, you know."
Does Nero know? Eh.
"Things worked out this time because of some bit of workings in the background, but you can't expect them to always work out this way, Martin." He smiles. "So, you might have to be the one to take the lead on things since you got a bit more self-preservation than your lovebug."
