While he is not near as familiar with Dante, he does know Nero well. And perhaps he understands the feeling of the last thing they need. The last thing he thought Ciri needed was a Witcher taking her from her life as a princess. Perhaps at the time, he'd been right. Perhaps he had not. But he does know, whether he meant to claim her or not, he should not have ignored her existence entirely. ]

[ Whatever Nero's relationship with Dante, he doubts Nero would mince words when it comes to what he wants. If he did not want Dante there, he imagines Nero would easily tell Dante to fuck off. But he suspects Dante has never given Nero the chance one way or another. ]
