... I'm guessin' you did everythin' you could to make sure she was as comfortable as possible, though?

( The house, for example, was obviously purpose-built for her kind, and Hubert speaks of her with the kind of fierce reverence that suggests he'd do anything for her. Nico smiles: it's the same kind of loyalty that Nero shows Kyrie, although she isn't sure whether their relationship was like that.

Who knows. )

I bet she appreciated it.

( A silly thing to say, really, considering Nico never met the woman, but maybe it's what Hubert needs to hear. Nico turns on the couch so she's knelt on the cushions with her arms folded against the back: )

Not like Nero. I spend way too much of my time here bustin' my ass to help him, and he's still a jerk about it.

( But she sounds amused if nothing else, because that's just how Nero shows affection to anyone who isn't Kyrie. )
