[ There's a wry smile at that. ]
I have a daughter that I love dearly and would give my life to save her and even then I'm not sure about having my daemon touched by anyone other than Sholmes.
Maybe I weigh it too heavily, but it's something incredibly personal that I can't imagine having anyone touch her aside from Sholmes. It's... there's a sense of euphoria that comes with it.

It really is. I wouldn't have believed it if it wasn't for having one myself.
[ He can't help but smile some at that interaction going on. ]
Probably. But I'm fine with only one person being able to touch her. I didn't even expect that.

You're telling me. It was strange at first, especially how natural it felt.
Now I can't imagine my life without my daemon.

....
You know, this might be rather strange to say, but...I'm glad you are the way you are, Nero.

[If you don't look at them maybe they will not notice you. This is what Nero hopes every day of his life.]
Uh... Thanks, I think.
[He will mount his broom and gesture Sholmes to follow.]
Hold on tight. Don't usually have passengers.

[Honestly, even Herlock "Mystery Gremlin" Sholmes sort of feels the same. Wow.]
[He looks down - ah. The *broom*. A first time for everything, he thinks - with a nod, he'll climb on behind the other man, pausing, before wrapping his arms around him. He is...honestly a little excited?]
Will it be fast?

[Sometimes the amount of chaos in one place is untenable and you need to move. Nero's is a nice silver from the handle to brush. It's a little awkward to be held like this, but it's fine. He's handling it.]
As fast as I wanna go. Why?
[Think you're gonna fall off?]

[Think you're gonna fall off?]
Well, I would hope you're not a speed demon like the Lieutenant! Though a bit of speed is fine.
[FLASHBACKS TO SNOWMOBILE RIDING]
[FLASHBACKS TO SNOWMOBILE RIDING]
[He laughs warmly.
They travel, but they're not going at insane speeds. It's still fairly easy to make out the land below them, as night begins to settle in.]

[Oh.]
[It's a good speed, for sure. He has the chance to take a look back as the ground gets further and further underneath them - the landscape spreads out over them, beautiful especially with the backdrop of the darkening sky.]
[He leans in against Nero a little, smiling to himself.]
It must be nice, seeing such sights on a regular basis.

[Trees, buildings, people. They're all tiny once they're high in the air. It's nice to be up here, to get away from the manor and all the chaos that's held within it.
A chance to go out to somewhere like his mana area is rare enough he's gonna savor it.]
Don't usually do this that often.
[Usually for missions. That usually means the stress of somebody getting injured from something or other.]
Havin' fun?
[There's hardly any light pollution where they're going. The sky is bright with stars.]

Oh, you don't? You should.
[He lets out a little sigh, more relaxed than anything, at the sight. The stars, twinkling forever in the darkness. The London fog never allows much to be seen, not like this.]
Why, yes. Of course I am. It's lovely.

We get busy 's all.
's a nice night.
[It's a treasure to get a moment to slip out for a while. The air gets crisp as he travels further north, just at the border of North Country and East country. A full, beautiful field of golden wheat, the moonlight shining upon them.]

Ah, the state of being busy...a working man's birdcage, isn't it?
[It keeps one from enjoying the small things, doesn't it?]
[He perks up at the sight of the wheat from afar.]
It is a nice night. And would you look at that. A sight to see, indeed.

's that what ya call it? Careful or Rustica will make ya an actual bird.
[ The descent is pleasant and slow, since they're not in a rush. ]
Even better at sunset, but I'll take this.

Oh, that might be fun! Better than a frog, for sure.
[Sholmes, no.]
The moonlight does its favors, as well. I shan't say it isn't worthy to see. One can look at such a thing and keep the sight of it in one's heart for a lifetime.

Had enough of being a frog, huh? Dunno how long the bird thing lasts.
[ He's not totally at ease when it comes to moonlight. But that's centuries of worry. ]
It'd be nice to take ya here at sunset some time. The way I like it best.

No, but it used to be that way. There was a limit on the distance of how far we could be away from each other. Being around her all the time for all the time is something that isn't easy to forget.
