Nero stood on the ground floor, while the legendary prodigy stood up on the mezzanine. The scene seemed perfect for their first encounter, almost akin to the setting from a story book. 'The much lauded prodigy looked down at the underestimated main character, his position a clear status of their corresponding positions in life'. Or, well, something along those lines. However, reality was not as dramatic.
Nero recognised him because he'd asked around about him, and got a sense for what he looked like. But it was clear at a glance that Vilhelm only looked at Nero because of the huge crowd he had attracted. In truth, his body was facing an entirely different arena.
Nero glanced over and saw that Vilhelm had been watching a fight between an especially fierce and aggressive woman, and a quick and evasive man. While ordinarily Nero would not have been able to recognise either, he could guess the woman's identity based on rumors surrounding the so-called prodigy.
