[SQUINTS.

Is Bradley remembering that he put Nero as his second if anything ever happened to him? Did he fail to remember that sent Nero into a panic spiral that ended with Brad in jail? Or are they both just trying not to talk about that?

He sighs. ]

Again, it's just a restaurant.

[inspiteful]

—Hey!

[ He tries to lightly swat at Brad's hand. Please don't mess up his hair! ]

Are you saying Mr. Nero would be a better boss than even you, Mr. Bradley?

[ He has not forgotten this first conversation. ]

[potensum]

[ don't worry larky, he loves this question. he throws a warm smile in nero's direction. ]

…Yeah, he would.

[perfectdistance]

[ Strongly disagree. Bradley makes for a good boss, the kind of person that people want to follow. Trustworthy, magnetic, and loyal.

That's not Nero.

Nero doesn't look at him. ]

Only when it comes to this sort of business.

[inspiteful]

[ Again, he watches their reactions, especially Nero's. He kind of feels like he...might have asked something sensitive? Shit.

Okay, he can probably figure out how to change the topic. No big deal, no big deal... ]

Well, either way, I'm glad Mr. Nero hired me.

[potensum]

I'm glad, too. [ he plants a hand on nero's shoulder, but his eyes stay on skylark. ] Nero's kind and dependable, so if you're ever in trouble or need anything at all, you can count on him. Ain't that right, Nero?

Of course, you can count on me, too.

[perfectdistance]

[Nero doesn't visibly wince. If a soul could wince, that's what's happening right now.]

Let us know if you need help.

[ Rip Nero,,,

Lark...isn't one to look a gift horse I the mouth, but there is a part of him that still wonders what did he do to earn this much consideration from either of them—they were about ready to fuss over him earlier, and Brad has twice asked if he was being treated well by his roommates. ]

Hehe, thanks. I'm...not sure if either of you will ever need help from me, but I'll do my best to help out if you do.

[potensum]

Welcome to the City of Rain gang, kid.

[ he forgot his name but it's fine. ]

[perfectdistance]

It's not a gang!!

[inspiteful]

I have a name!!

[potensum]

Bleh, you're both a pain.

[ welcome to the bain-turner family?????? ]

[perfectdistance]

You can at least remember I'm not running a gang.

[inspiteful]

It is pretty weird to treat a restaurant business as a gang...

And surely you're not so old you can't remember my name, right?

[ Disclaimer: He does not actually know how old any of the wizards are, he just got the impression that some of them are old enough to basically be cryptids. ]
