Nero's Links
"I know he knows about my past, I don't know how but he just does... I appreciate him keeping quiet. His attitude though... could use some work, but not the worst I've seen, unsurprisingly"
"A young man of mysterious origins, not the first one I've seen but... I know better than to push his buttons. I may never see what he's truly capable of, and I don't want to! So I'll keep my mouth shut"
"Celeste is like a little sister to me, I may be able to do a lot but her little buddies are really impressive, and cute! I'll have to look into them sometime. Other than that, I'll gladly help her out whenever"
"He's one of the most skilled mages around here! I'd love to have him help me learn a thing or two about healing magic. I'm still a bit rusty but I'm doing my best to improve and he's always been around to give encouragement. He's also really fun to spend time around!"
"We're... After all these years, I still can't believe you're here too, it's always nice seeing a familiar face. We'll find a way home someday, but for now... wanna hit up the Porodise Lounge? My treat"
Whenever she got to see Nero again it was easily the highlight of her week. He was the one person here that always brought her happiness. After all, they were in this together. "Yeah, we'll make it home some day. I believe in us!" She pumped her fist and smiled. "You know I'd love to hang with you! Let's go!"
"Shouma! We should totally spar someday! I could always use some more practice in and hey, maybe it'd be fun!"
“Spar? With the powerful-powerful you? Oh, I do not know, I do not-not know… You’re so-so strong! You would so-so easily-easily defeat me! I respect you too-too much to even try, yes-yes!”
"Mr. Momas! I just wanted to thank you again for letting me stay in the village, I know it's been years but I'll always be grateful. Do you need any more ingredients for your potions? I can always go out and get some"
“Nero, I certainly-certainly hope that you have not gotten into too-too much trouble. You are so-so missed here. It is always a good-good day when you visit, or if we run into each other on our long-long travels, yes-yes. You are so-so kind to offer too. I will inform you should I need-need anything, yes-yes.”
"I appreciate it, my guy, if you need any more healing let me know and I'll help you out"
"Nero! What's good, man? You've got a great thing goin' on here. If you ever need some good vibes and good times, you know how to get in contact with me! You and I are good for life after you healed that broken wrist I had. I should not have gotten too excited in that mosh pit back in Zaun..."
"I can sense him nearby, watching me... perhaps spending too much time with my father has made me a bit too paranoid, but I can tell he wants something from me. As long as it's not too demanding, I can hear him out..."
He gently pets Dilay as he sits down on a rock, watching from afar as Nero tends to someone's wounds. He knew little about this man's personal life though he did know of his great kindness. Maybe he would be a good ally to have in the whole... Unification process thing. He looks down at Dilay and picks her up, kissing her gently on the forehead. "Let's go chat with him."
"You're welcome? I'm... not entirely sure of what job you speak of, but I'm glad I can help. As for my coat, it's custom made... a reminder, of sorts"
"Thank you for making my job ever so slightly easier. Did you know how nice it is to not have to worry about random dudes falling over and dying from a broken hip? Thanks man, really cool! Now on a more personal note... where'd you get the coat?"
"She likes to keep to herself, I can respect that. No need to pry into her thoughts or anything, for now"
"He has quite a bit of power at his fingertips, it wouldn't take a genius to figure that out. I don't have much interest in whatever it is that he wields, all I care about is not being bothered whenever I am here in this dismal little land. Everyone always asks so many questions whenever I visit Seonwoo... It sickens me."
"I don't stick around the Boreumdal for too long, usually I come in to help out and then leave shortly after, the last thing I want is to make them uncomfortable. He seems nice enough but we rarely talk"
"Nero has always been kind to the Boreumdal, especially when other humans have been less than friendly towards us. I'd consider him a friend if I knew more about him. I guess that's my fault for not being more talkative around him."
"So...! Noxian cardboard, huh?"
"So... you can teleport too? That's cool. Did you know that I'm pregnant right now? Oh shit... Oh fuck! I can feel the baby kicking! Oh no... Oh no, oh shit! I'M GOING INTO LABOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" She collapses onto the ground and Nero sees Dhaval slither out from underneath her with a groan. "Why do you always do this, Anjali?"
"She's... I like the music at the bar but that's it, I'm not the biggest fan of the place so I usually come in to get Thavur before he's forcibly kicked out. Other than that, I try to not interact with her too much"
"At this point, the only person from that Targonian village I like is Momas. Do you know how annoying it is to constantly have some guy coming in to collect the bear and not even bothering to say hello? Like damn."
"You're so cool! And your guitar's pretty rad too, I've always like this type of music, ever since I was little! I'll definitely let you know next time I'm in Zaun, I'd love to watch you perform"
"SICK AXE! You remind me of of this one song I've heard and have been meaning to make a cover of... something about a vagabond nobody knows nothing about but is always idolized everywhere they go... funny as hell coincidence!! If you ever come to Zaun I'll make sure to get you a VIP seat in the Golden Poro to see one of my shows!!"
"I respect the yo-yo techniques, I used to love them when I was a kid! I always make sure to keep an eye out for her whenever I'm in Zaun, so yeah we're good. Now I just hope she doesn't drag me to that damn bar..."
"(swoons) Such a charmer... would love to know his secrets. He travels quite often. Next time he comes to Zaun, I'll need to have a chat with him~." She giggles quietly. "Very good to know my techniques make for quite the spectacle."
"Ah... that Mordekaiser, and here I thought we would've been pals. Tell me when your lord can do a sick guitar riff and maybe I'll consider hearing you out"
"He's quite powerful, such strength would be a very, very valuable asset to our army, but... I don't understand what he talks about most of the time. Whatever the case is, my lord is superior to whomever this one speaks of"
"That guy you worship? Yeah, he has much better work than the song you speak of, just trust me on that one. You'll thank me later!"
“I do not know whether or not to deem that statement as blasphemous.”
"I know he's into some shady stuff but everyone's got their secrets, my dad wasn't an innocent man either so I can't judge him too much, I can only hope he chooses the right path someday. Other than that his lounge is pretty dope, a little too fancy for my taste but I'm not complaining"
"One of my better customers, always pays his tab and never leaves a mess. Still, there's something about him... I must be imagining things, he's just a man from a simple merchant village after all"
"With your skill? You're gonna make it big, I know it"
"Thank you...! Oh, and here's the CD you asked for" Rayaro's always had fans since his first show but little are as supportive as Nero, so for the ones like him he gives it his all whenever he performs
"I made the mistake of reading his mind one day, his thoughts while standing right next to that guy, and in public too! ... I don't think I'll ever cleanse my mind from that."
"I don't know what I did to have him be so... avoidant. We've barely even spoken to one another!"
"She's cool! It's good to know someone's got my back if I were to get in a freak accident or whatever. Glad she's not upset at me for using my powers or whatever, growing up with an information broker dad will make you very nosy sometimes!"
"If anything happened to Nero, I'd kill whoever killed him and then myself. I love the little guy, even if he's a bit nosy. Yes, I know when you are reading my mind. No, I don't give a fuck. If I had anything to hide, it's already been hidden and it's going to be unburied long after you pass. Sorry that you're human and you've got a shorter lifespan. Maybe you'll make it to 150 if the stars will it or whatever it is that you've got going on."
"I made the mistake of looking into his thoughts, so unhinged and... lustful. He wants Aldaun, bad. I'd tease him but... I'd like to keep my limbs for now! I'll just keep ordering my usual and pretend I didn't get a high-definition look at his newest fantasy. Or the fact that he has a secret box buried in Shurima with gods-know-what"
“When he comes in for drinks, he tends to have difficulty looking to me whenever he addresses me. I wonder why. Perhaps he just knows better and is intimidated by me… Ah, that must be it.” Another day without anyone knowing about the fabled box in Shurima!
"Me, being afraid of you? You're nothing compared to what I've seen before. Now leave this place before I'm forced to make you"
To say Nero was star-struck was an understatement "Wow... so... god of the moon..! That's so rad... I-I don't know what to say. Uh... thank you for the power, I guess and I... like your vibes?" Terrible job everyone
Feng’s grin stretched a little more. “I am happy to lend you aid should you need me. While you are capable, it is not easy to defend the world on your own.” Feng bowed his head respectfully. He felt a fondness for this young man, and he would do his best to keep him in one piece.
"Oh you two are so on!" Keroth and Faaron are one of the few that know the true extent of Nero's power. Their sparring matches would go on for hours, each refusing to give up until they were at the border of collapsing, afterwards they go out to celebrate their fight... if they still have energy by the time it ends
"Hey Nero! We're here for a rematch! And no holding back, got it?!" In return, Nero knows about Keroth and Faaron's true origins "𝘏𝘦'𝘴 𝘢 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘰𝘯𝘦, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘐 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘥𝘮𝘪𝘵 𝘧𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘪𝘮 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨. 𝘕𝘰𝘸, 𝘯𝘰 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴, 𝘸𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘪𝘮 𝘷𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘧𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵!"
"He reminds me of my dad if he didn't meet my other dad, guess that's why I try to help him out whenever I can"
"Kid's weird, always helping me or others... I don't trust it, he's planning something, I can tell. But for now I'll have to take every advantage I can take"
