Hm. Hmmm. How about...your favorite place, my dear friend?
[Nero considers this for a moment.]
's not gonna be the right time of day but... C'mon. We'll head out to the wheat fields.

The wheat fields?
[Ah...of course.]
Let's go, then. I'd like to see them.

[It's not the exact wheat fields, but it's close enough.
He summons his pretty silver broom and heads out to the courtyard.
The Northern wizards seem to be having a magical fight. Cerberus is out. There is a gunshot. Mithra might be a monster. Don't look at them.]

I figured you meant something like that.
It's just a pretty weird place to be sending people who died.

You died?
[ Then again, he also died. Just not ... prolonged death. ]

...Horses? It sounds like you have some kind of story there.
Where we were the story could "overwrite" the livin' and in order to not have that go totally outta control, people had to die. I was the unlucky bastard picked that week, but I figured I'd at least get a good fight outta it.

[ He visibly winces at that. He's had the shit kicked out of him, so he knows pain, but still. Yikes. ]

[ Hey, at least he was badass in the one adventure. Too bad Kotetsu can't tell him that. ]
There was. There were cookie figures of people Nero knew, too. Cain, Owen and Oz are the ones he mentioned.

I guess we just got lucky.
[ There's a little wryness in his voice at that. ]
But yeah, that was the place.

It was pretty nasty, but everyone ended up mostly find after that.
...Everyone except me. It hurts like hell to be bitten by a thing like that, but no limb loss. Just massive bruising.
[ Sigh!!! ]

You could say that. My luck ran pretty bad when we were there.
[ But he nods about that. ]
Sure thing. That kind of thing isn't exactly my place to be telling anyone anyway.

I'm guessing you're talking about what was chasing us at the end...?

Then yep, we ran into that, too, at the end. Barely made it out.
