'OW!" Will rubs his head and looks at Nero for an explanation. He didn't like that look already. "W-what?!" He cried.
"Are you out of your fucking mind?" Nero asked harshly.
"My mind?" Will looks confused.
Oh my fucking God. Nero groans. Did this kid live under a rock or something? "I don't know if you hear this or not but Beast isn't something you can reason with." That's what he got from Dante's encounter with it.
"That thing kills humans and demons or anyone who is like a threat to him. Anyone like us."
"B-but! It only kills the ones who harm other people without reason. Even I disagree with his methods, he can be reason with. If I tell him my intentions then maybe-"
"What the hell? Why are you acting like he's a human or something? It's a demon, plain and simple. What you need to do is to find your sister and get the hell out of here."
"But Naturia-"
"Naturia, what?"
"Naturia. Naturia. That's something we mages never do. We do n't do something like this. I mean…"
"Will. I bet nobody knows what Naturia is and that's the only Naturia they know. I'm sorry but nobody gives a shit." Nero tells him straight up. "You better count your losses and move on. Beast isn't like other demons." Wait…unless…
"But what if Beast is a Naturia mage like us?! I mean, there's an explanation for it! A mage we never know about? If I can find him then I have to tell him that this isn't right." Will argued which Nero growl. "Yeah what if I told you that he doesn't give a shit?" This kid is so…..god, Nero doesn't know how to describe him but if have to use a word from Credo's dictionary. It would be naive. Yeah, that word fucking fits.
"Have you met the Beast? Huh, do you?"
"Uhhh…no." Will looks away. "It's just…I want my sister to come back home. If that's true, then…"
Ugh….Nero hates things like this. If anything, if he tells the boy otherwise, he will do the opposite. But goddamnit, he knows the feeling of looking for one's sibling and trying to rescue her. If Nero has to admit then Will is just like him. Oh fuck it, guess he has no choice.
"Alright. Look. How about this? You stick with me then until you find your sister, okay?"
"Huh?" Will turns his head to Nero in surprise. "Nero….are you saying."
"Yeah…I'm going to help you." Nero rubs his nose. Will smiles and exclaimed, "Thank you! Thank you so much!"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whatever, just don't get sappy with me." With that, their train came to a stop. They have now arrived in Covilla.
