[ It was one of those times where NOAH was still figuring out their way past the Labyrinth of the Ancients, and Nero was still lingering.
Today, though, he had found himself by the side of G'raha, when G'raha was taking a break. Not that Nero had been watching for it, of course not.
With a soft grunt, he flopped down next to him, holding a few of the tomestones that they'd been tasked to decyther. (Nero, honestly, had been asked not to join in this, but. Nero had waited until Rammbroes wasn't paying attention and stolen these ones.) ]
...You're all struggling with these?

...When Gaius went for dear Ultima, there were automation which needed to be eliminated. Nothing was retrieved from them.
no subject
… I swear I wouldn't do the same, though. And- certainly not to you.
no subject
...Besides, you've seen how shredded I am.
no subject
[both eyebrows rise.] Shredded?

[ ...Right. He hadn't shown him all up his legs. Quietly, he pulls one pants leg up again - from the knee upwards, it barely looks like there's metal. No, it's bathed in that blue glow. Nero seems to stop, though, near his upper thigh. There, G'raha would see... a little melded on metal, hastily fused to stop the rest of the leg falling off. ]

[… shit. He hisses, ears flattening- reaching out to touch it.]
That's- Twelve. You saved it, but… it really doesn't feel like anything? It looks… terrifying.]
no subject
It doesn't. It was... during the Calamity. I remember a haze, my hands moving, and... my leg was back on.
no subject
Well, that's… something… After the Empire, I assume? That's… well, it's good that you could do that. And you remember it? [he pauses, chewing his cheek a little. Should he push? … he might as well.] Was there anything else?
no subject
Alas, I can't remember exactly how it went down.
no subject
That's a shame. I'd like to know… I'm sure a lot of people would. But- we've got other things to work out, haven't we?
no subject
...What interested you in Allag, boy?
no subject
Ah- well- a family trait, truth be told. You must have noted the colour of my right eye- but as best I can tell, that was supposedly unique to the Allagans. And so- I've wished to learn the truth of it.
no subject
It's a unique colour, yes. I don't have answers. [ But Nero does find himself drawn to G'raha, almost like... nah. ] But I wonder... you are made of flesh and blood, aren't you?
no subject
Ah… that's too bad. [he hadn't thought- though maybe he should have. He tilts his head at Nero, huffing out something like a laugh.] I was the last time I checked, certainly.
no subject
Do you know why Garlemald focuses on red in their construction? It's said to be a royal colour in Allagan times. Reds and purples, to be exact.
no subject
Really? Well- I knew it had to be important, of course, but that much so…
[so that means- maybe-
naaaaah. no way, right?]

...I could never trace a family.
no subject
[he makes a face.]
I suppose- it wasn't really possible. … But you can trace your origins directly to it- that works well enough, doesn't it?
no subject
[ And that's when he pauses. One of his fingers...
It's gotten under his paneling on his front. But it's touched something, and Nero seems to frown a little. ]
no subject
G'raha frowns as well, leaning towards him.]
Nero- what's there?
no subject
[ He's gesturing to where he's touching, and... there's a small latch there, blended into the skin. ]
Why do I look like this, I wonder?
