Nero.

I thought it looked a little too gloomy in here, so I bought a vase of flowers. I hope you don't mind.

What kind of dork has a name like Nero.

[bymercy]

Ah, my-

The person I am with? What's so bad about it?

[resonatine]

Because it's stupid. It's worth than Vergil's name, and I thought his was scraping the bottom of the barrel.

[bymercy]

That sounds familiar.

... I don't think that's fair to say that about someone you never met.

[resonatine]

Why not? He's the one with the stupid name.

[bymercy]

That's a little childish to say.

[resonatine]

Maybe, but it was just an observation. Jesus, get your panties out of a bunch.

[bymercy]

Forgive me, I still find it a little odd.

[resonatine]

And for the record, Nero's Italian for black. So yeah, dumb name. "HI MY NAME IS BLACK."

But forget it. Jeez.

[bymercy]

Mm.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to get snippy with you.

[resonatine]

Well, whatever.

You got a name? That's not dumb like Nero?

[bymercy]

My name is Kyrie.

And yours? You almost remind me of someone I met.

[resonatine]

Kyrie. Like the hymn? That's different.

Dante.

You- You're here, too?

You seem... different.
