not near the food??
idk can't you move it out to the living room or something
we just got that old couch

no?
nico i don't know what "feral" feels like
besides this doesn't mean i'm a "monster"

[ Denial FOREVER. ]

I can't work on a couch, idiot
I need a table
But if we can get another one, fine, I'll move my stuff

And see, you said "we" got a problem like you might be a part of it
But if you're still thinking you just got unlucky, then I guess what you meant was
"Hey Nico you might blow up, sorry"

ok we'll find you another table
i just don't wanna be chowing down and grow a second head or something

sorry i'll rephrase
nico you might blow up and that's gonna be a problem
better?

Hey
If you grow a second head then you'll have TWO brain cells
So really you should thank me if that happens

Also, shut up
I'll figure something out
Maybe look at the stupid bond thing if there's no other solutions

hey
fuck you

don't stoop that low
we're here to deal with the darkness thing or something right?
figure out where it's coming from
smack a few heads around
plug up whatever bullshit portal the baddies are crawling through
and we'll be solid
then we can get the hell outta here

And you think we can do all that before I end up painted all over the walls?
Because I'm not sure, Nero

I mean let's for a second imagine you ARE turning into some kind of monster
The people I spoke to, they say their special abilities or whatever don't work like they used to now that they're like that
And you'll be trying to not "go feral" the whole time

Which is gonna be kinda distracting

[ He doesn't really want to talk about the fact that his own "special abilities" aren't working like they used to. He's not as fast, he's not AS strong, and when he tried to air hike he landed right on his ass.

But that's...his business. And won't be a problem for long anyway. Right? Right. ]

look
we just gotta treat this like any other job
no one's gonna go feral or explode

nothing is gonna happen to you ok?

[ That's as mushy as he's going to allow himself to get about her safety. ]

( Ugh, the more he pushes on with the "everything will be fine" stuff, the less inclined Nico is to just leave it at that. )

Right, well
You carry on doing your thing, I'll help out as much as I can

But just in case?
I'm gonna work on a worst case scenario plan as well

[ As long as he says everything is fine it will be fine, Nico. That's only worked for him never. ]

by that you mean "bond" with some random weirdo in town

I didn't say that

But not everyone here is weirdo, you know
I mean some of them definitely are, but I've met a few decent-seeming people too

Anyway
The bonds don't have to be permanent, right?
If it doesn't work I can just go get it voided or whatever, like it never happened in the first place
Then I can go back to your "save the day" plan

( She is ... making assumptions here, okay? )

you didn't not say it either

[ Ha. Got you there. ]

talking with them is different than whatever the whole bond experience is supposed to be
"bondmate" is just too weird
but actually vampire lady said there was like a temp option?
some sorta potion
not that i'm advocating for this ftr

( Makes notes, because that sounds like a potion well-worth investigating! )

So let's just see where we're at here

There's a potion option
The bond option
And the fix this place's problems before either of us - or Dante - can die option

Is that it?
Nothing else we can do?

we could storm the coven for answers

God, you're an idiot

what
they would know better than anyone

[ Says the guy who stormed out and didn't listen to them the first time. ]

First of all, "storm the Coven" sounds like you're gonna attack them
And since they're all Witches they'll probably turn you to into a frog or something

Secondly, you think they're gonna say anything different than Miss Nessie did the first time around?
They're not gonna come up with a whole new set of answers just because some guy doesn't wanna bond

this has nothing to do with me not wanting to play their bonding game

[ Just a little, though. ]

maybe they really haven't had enough people ready to raise hell

You're gonna get us both killed, you know that, right?
How many Witches have you fought, huh
Dumb-ass demons are one thing, but a Coven of clearly intelligent, organised magic-users trying to protect their home ...

( A n g e r y )

Don't do anything stupid yet
Not without more information

And not until Dante wakes up so you've at least got backup

look
i'm not doing anything right now
ok?
just sitting here twiddling my thumbs while jack shit happens

[ Now he's angee too. ]

dante being asleep is probably their fault too you know

Yeah, I know
Don't think I haven't thought about it, Nero

he was knocked out for a whole fucking month on the qliphoth
but idk
that was different

It was different cause that time we knew what was going on
Or, it was kinda familiar at least
Demonic shit, whatever

This time, we got nothing
I don't think it's too crazy to try being careful
Okay?

yeah i got you

Then alright
We're gonna be good

ok
well
apparently there are some people going missing out by a lake so i'm gonna check it out
