As he struggled and wrestled with the information he had been just handed, Nero's ears twitched.
He frowned and quickly composed himself.
Then he turned to the sobbing Aisha. Hesitating for a moment, he pulled her hands down and wiped the tears away from her cheeks,
"Aisha. This might seem insensitive of me, but I really need you to follow everything I say."
Aisha stared at him with teary eyes.
The serious, but concerned look on Nero's face was all she could see. For a moment, it was her entire world.
She nodded absentmindedly.
Nero smiled softly,
"Great."

A few minutes later...
Movement came from the direction of the camp.
Nero sucked in a deep breath.
A minute later, a figure could be seen approaching them. It was Lucy.
She walked up to Nero and stared him down.
Nero gulped, but didn't back down at all, instead meeting her gaze.
In moments like this, it was best not to give in at all.
