Sometimes quiet places can surprise you.

[ After all, not much had happened in her quiet little hometown...until it became apparent years later that the Ruby Princess had been overcome with a monster and cloistered herself away in the palace. A part of her wonders if she hadn't abandoned her town and her position she may have been able to stop that, but there's no sense in worrying about that now.

At the mention of his cousin as a "kid", Himeka unknowingly makes the same mistake Nero had with Relena, now expecting a young Elezen, much like the twins that she had come to care for back in her home world. She doesn't have a particular penchant for children in general, but she does miss those two something terribly. She's resolved to seek this child out now. ]

I'll do what I can, then. You have my word.

[ For whatever weight that actually holds.

Himeka adjusts her parcel and takes a step away, knowing she should get back to her own errands all the same. ]

I won't keep you from your hunt any longer, then. I hope you find what you're looking for, Nero.

[ Though that may not be something he should hope for. What a strange man. ]
