[He fumes for a moment, before,]
Then I'll just sneak you into my room.

S'not like you haven't done it before.
[it's normal!]

[an eyebrow raise]
Yeah that was before someone decided to make “banning” a thing.

Then she just has to not catch you.
[Reaches to take Jason's hand, squeezing it. He's serious.]

[how much does he feel like dealing with this... he sighs, a hint of annoyance at the edges.]
Sure. I guess.
Sure. I guess.
[He hands his phone to his Feint, who leaves to go back to avante the usual way.]
He'll unlock my balcony. I'll take the outside route with you.
He'll unlock my balcony. I'll take the outside route with you.
Sure.
[At least, he had a Feint. Made things easier.]
Hopefully someone doesn't touch him.
[but he's figuring they'll go out of his window exit-- that's less obvious than the Bad End balcony.]

He'll be fine. He's got my reflexes, and my powers. Can just warp his way there if he needs to.
[Slips his sandals back on and goes to follow Jason's lead, out of here.]

[he's not going to respond to that. just going to dip back into his room, and lock the door behind nero. so no one can bother him.]
[Nero follows, quietly noting,]
Maybe I should get a lock on my door...
Maybe I should get a lock on my door...
I like the privacy.
[and the window exit-- he unlocks it with his phone, same as the way to get into bad end.]
And no one has to know when I come or go, this way.

[Well, it's all too easy for Nero to climb out and find his footing on the wall. He goes first, waiting for Jason to climb out the Bat-fashioned way.]
Seems hypocritical since I've been trying to make avante more-- open, but. I want... somewhere for you too.

[he uses his grappling hook, rather than focusing on climbing up this time.]
Don't do it, then. You want it more open, then don't get a lock. Simple enough.
[climbing up easily enough]

So what I'm hearing is, secret room.
[Following behind on foot,]
[Following behind on foot,]
Sure, I'll stay in your secret closet.
[and then he gets to the window, and hops inside, pulling his grappling hook behind him.]
Definitely a thing I'll do.

It'll be a nice closet.
[The Feint is inside, having opened the window, and disappears once handing the phone back to Nero when he hops into his room.]

[at some point, he'd tucked a book into his jacket i forgot to note, but, he's more focused on kicking his shoes off for now, and considering washing his face off, the mask dropping slightly and a more annoyed look sinking onto his face.]
Guess I'll be the judge of that.
Guess I'll be the judge of that.
[He kicks his sandals off and shrugs off the damp kimono layer over his clothes.]
...I'm sorry.
...I'm sorry.
Why?
[he exhales and pulls his jacket off, plucking the book out.]
[he exhales and pulls his jacket off, plucking the book out.]
I want there t'be a place where you belong.
Y'know that's why I made one.
[he shrugs.]
That's what I do.
[he shrugs.]
That's what I do.
With other people, though.
[He's about to take off his shirt, before-- right, still boobs.]
...Turn around, I need to change.

[he just lets himself fall back onto the bed, closing his eyes.]
I don't need that, but I appreciate the thought.
I don't need that, but I appreciate the thought.
[Well as long as Jason can only see his back, that's okay. Nero strips the damp shirt off and throws on the frumpled sleep tunic that's hanging on the headboard.]
Then as long as I'm always allowed there.
