[It's probably not a real big surprise to anyone that since returning, since everyone had to see him really laid up in a bed, Nero's room's been mostly empty, ghosted. He spends his time out, in town or in the woods, like he's turning into a ghost himself. Or a weirdo like Aloy.
It's not an escape. It's not anything. Just something to do. To kill time. To get himself... around. Outside.
Like a cat that's been freed from its cage after pacing a path into the dirt.
It's not a huge surprise to see Wanda's out here, either, doing her weird shit. Mostly nothing's really changed, and as much as that sort of pisses Nero off, he's not sure what should change, either. The people who did it got what was comin' to them. Maybe nicer than they deserved.
Nero kicks a rock as Wanda stands. He's practically naked now, without Red Queen at his back. He never saw his sword again after he'd gotten taken, and it feels sort of -- sort of weird to ask for a new one.
He'd only just made her his again.]
People still stupid enough to tell you what to do? You should really start turnin' them into lizards.
