[ His shoulders give a little shrug when she admits that she hadn't thought of how the welcomed guests were doing. He isn't even sure if the welcomed guests really felt that way, either. It's just a little thought exercise, anyway. ]
No harm done and it's already over.
[ He flashes her a smile.
The madness drains out of his face. His expression returns to a wide, clownish smile; no hint of the bloodshed that was on it seconds before. ]
One of two.

They'd only employ me if they had good reason. So, don't worry about it -- or do!
[ Nero chuckles to himself; the sound is filled with merriment and joy. He doesn't think that Martin would use him that much differently than One would.
One would never use him for evil. He would use him to prove a point, to terrorize, to exact some vengeance. He uses him for righteous reasons; he tells himself that the death that follows is necessary to save others, to save the world.

He ducks his head down to laugh, again.
And he pauses at her huff. ]
