When shit hits the fan, sometimes it is best to just get going.
[ His hand strikes the top of the table; he agrees that is the smartest plan that his companion could make for himself. ]
Someone else will give some passionate speech about what happened. Their feelings coloring the events however they choose to paint evil and good into the actions of the people.
[ Again, his head rests down on his arm. He chuckles a little to himself; he finds it very funny that others can find such virtues and truths in slaughter. ]
But would the Free Cities and Thorne be evil? Solvunn is smart to remain neutral, but they're also just waiting out for one to weaken the other. Then, what? Will they stay neutral or kill the limping beast? Do they have the luxury to wait and find out?
[ His chin vibrates with quiet laughter. These thoughts are fun thoughts; he likes presenting them to others, but it doesn't matter if what he says is how things are or not. It's just nice to get people thinking. ]
As for me? Yeah, I'd help this place out if asked. [ Nero once more puts emphasis on being asked to assist. ] As for the reason why... it's because I'd be asked.
[ What circular logic! ]
You already can guess the kind of person that I am. If they're willing to request my assistance, it means they're willing to give up a bit of their morality to work with me. [ Because even if Nero is protecting the people, employing him is evil. ]
They'd rather make concessions to their conscience than risk annihilation, and honestly, that shit is so fucking funny to me that I can't help but want to give it my all so that they'd be able to live to see tomorrow. [ He jerks his chin in the direction of the people of Solvunn in the tavern. ]
They get to think to themselves... their lives are, in part, indebted to me.
[ Nero wouldn't ask for anything; he wouldn't demand anything from them. He just wants them to know for the rest of their lives that the reason they continue to breathe is because of a monster.
He wants them to live with that truth until they die.

And he chuckles. ] So, why wouldn't I help out?!
