[Nero's glare, normally, could boil lava, but maybe it's just -- it's a fucking weak moment, bringing her up in the first place, and it's the first time anyone's asked about her. Nero wasn't exactly keeping her a secret, but they all had. Shit going on. And Wanda lost her robot-husband. He wasn't exactly thrilled with the idea of bringing up his current, still-living significant other.]
Of course she's real. [Nero pushes his hand off, but maybe it's more an accepting annoyance than real anger.
He really does want to talk about her. He misses her, and it's not... he doesn't know what to do with it. He missed her during the months he spent in Redgrave, too, and he'd been on the way to see her again, to see the kids --]
Kyrie. [Nero is completely ignoring this is definitely becoming a bonding moment, holding a branch just to spring it on Thor as he moves closer to try to thwack him in the face. The forest closes quickly around them, growing darker, only shards of sunlight making it through the canopy. Not as hot as the jungles in Fortuna, luckily. Even in the middle of summer. (This is probably summer, right?)]
She's... she's nice. I mean, everyone loves her. I don't know a single person who's ever hated her. You just can't. She'd probably apologize if you did. [And he means that. He can't imagine not liking Kyrie; what isn't to like?] Known her since we were young. Her family took me in. [He stops it there, thinking, when I didn't have anyone else. And that holds true now. They don't really have anyone else anymore. Not from their family.
Guess they built a new one, huh? (And now he has his own? He still doesn't fucking know what to do with it.)] She takes care of kids. I mean -- we both do, I guess. Lot of orphans where we're from. She used to sing, but... well, she sort of gave it up for them. She'd take care of every problem on the whole damn island if she could.
[It doesn't really matter it's here, in the forest, or it's Thor. Maybe he'd even spill to Wanda, though he bet she'd think he was making her up. It's just --
Shit. He really misses her. Even just being able to give her a call would be enough.]
