[ He says that so quickly and without a trace of doubt or hesitation, looking to Kyrie as he pulls back some to loll his head back and allow an arm to drape over the back of the bench. ]
I've always thought you were. I mean... it's not just that. You're... a lot of things, you know? But...
[ And he laughs a little, scratching at his cheek with a tilt of his head. ]
[ Her heart was still beating rapidly and she really hoped that her hands weren't sweaty right now or anything. That would be extremely embarrassing! She couldn't help it. It just felt like... it felt like today their relationship was moving forward a little more and she felt like Nero was sweeping her off her feet all over again. ]
I don't know... I've seen the way you look at some of those weapons of yours...
[ She finally looked up at him again, a tiny teasing smile on her lips. ]
[ Those words might actually get a slightly louder laugh out of Nero... one that is genuine and full of amusement as he shakes his head into his hand, fingers running through his hair before he hums a little to himself. ]
They are pretty nice. Red Queen's the best sword a swordsman could ask for and Blue Rose... she was a beaut to design.
[ Coming to pause for a moment, he allows his head to roll to the side and presses his head against her own. ]
[She laughed softly at his reply. Nero was a lot more smooth than he gave himself credit for, because he always said the sweetest things, but it wasn't just some silly line. Nero meant every word he said to her which was part of his charm. Kyrie always felt like she was so happy and lucky to have Nero in her life. ]
[ There's a gentle chuckle that rumbles in the back of his throat and, with Kyrie leaning into his side, he allows his arm to drape around her shoulder then. ]
You know... I wasn't really so thrilled with the thought of being kidnapped here by spirits for whatever reason they have. Hell, I'm still not exactly thrilled they did that to you as well.
[ With fingers gently stroking against Kyrie's arm, Nero allows himself a moment to look at their surroundings and just... be, for once. ]
But I guess it's better than maybe never seeing you again. I don't really want to think about what I would do.
[ Because, from the sounds of it, some people have been here for years. ]
[ With his arm around her, she felt even warmer than before. It was such a comforting feeling just to have him so close to her. She sat there and listened and smiled softly to herself. It seems they see eye to eye once more. Getting kidnapped here and being told to deal with it certainly was alarming, as she's sure it's alarming for everyone, but... ]
I know... I would try to make the most of everything... but if I ended up here without you with me, I'm not sure how long it would have taken for me to crack. When I heard your voice, it was like... a sign that everything would be okay.
[ Perhaps despite the lack of consent one is given with appearing within this world, there's a silver lining to it in the sense of Nero not being completely alone as he has both Kyrie and Dante here with him. It's with his cheek pressed against her head and eyes of blue slowly blinking some as he continues to stare at the park around them, that Nero allows the tips of his fingers to brush against her arm, keeping her close and deciding right then and there on something: ]
[ How is that that Nero can declare something like that something as big as "Everything will be ok" and in that instant she believes him with all of her heart. She believes everything will be ok, because Nero said it.
Maybe it was because she always felt safe when Nero was around. Or maybe it was because Nero didn't sugarcoat things, so when he said it, it really felt like everything was fine. ]

So that's one point for Kyrie.

We will be ok.
