[Nero looks tired, a bit grim, like he's been thinking too much. He's sitting on some crates in Cerulean, either just about to just having finished some heavy lifting. Beside him is Basilisk, still a houndour and still as icy and collected in temperament, his fur wet for reasons yet unexplained.]
Got the Cascade badge. This guy did a number on that Starmie.
[Ah, so that would be why. There's a spot of hesitation in Nero's voice when he glances at the Houndour: with Agnus here, the name, which seemed clever at the time, makes bile rise in his throat.]
Might cross Mt Moon to get to Pewter, haven't decided yet. Apparently it takes a while to get through. [It's strange for him to actively want to be away from Kyrie, so he's naturally hesitating. Flying back to Vermillion and then taking Diglett's Cave would be quicker, but...] Man, after all that trash I could use some time off, though. Dante, Trish--Miyuki said she wanted to head to Cinnabar and see the beach. You guys up for it? If you take the train to Saffron, I could meet you there once I'm done with this crap.
[There's some sound, so Nero flips the gear to show his new baby Deino. She's got her face rammed into her food bowl, little puff of a tail wiggling behind her, not unlike a dog. In fact, Basilisk leaps down to join her, and the little dragon easily dwarfs the pooch.] That's right, the egg hatched. How's yours doing, kid? [When Basilisk butts Deino's head out of the way and attacks her bowl, Nero doesn't intervene. None of his other pokemon are visible when he turns the gear back towards himself, presumably tucked away in their balls.]
Anyway. I got work to do.

Someone give the girl a prize.

Well, that would explain a few things. [And then she thinks... She will solve this, Nero! Mark her words!] That'd be quite an atrocious scene to visit, honestly. Someone truly should clean it up.

[logic <----------- -----------> Flora]
About as sharp as marble, huh.

[She frowns. Slowly, sloooowly getting it. Slowly.] Heeyyyy... That's not very nice!

Who said I wass nice?

I like to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. It's not kind to assume, because you never know when you'll be surprised. [And, you know, he's not walking around with a giant "Bad Guy" sign on him like half the villains in her world. It's hard to tell otherwise!]
