[oh

sparda have mercy]

[selfpreservationist]

... Nero, it's... alright. You can come out.

[minidevilbreaker]

[Peers out from behind his hood. A little fussed, and shy]

I-- I wasn't hiding.

[selfpreservationist]

You were on the lookout for dangerous people, right?

[minidevilbreaker]

[Dangerous wasn't quite the right word. He thinks on it for a second.]

Strangers. And mean people.

[selfpreservationist]

Good call. But... I've been looking for you.

[minidevilbreaker]

[This makes his face light up, even though he quickly tries to play it down]

Really?

[selfpreservationist]

Yes. Do you know who I am?

[minidevilbreaker]

[It takes a second for his child brain to process.]

Raven. You're my...

[ ???? ]



You're my Raven.

[selfpreservationist]

... that's right.

[minidevilbreaker]

[Pleased, he trots over to Raven's side]

So, you'll help me with the game?

[selfpreservationist]

If you'd like.

[holds out his hand]

[minidevilbreaker]

[Eagerly takes his hand!!]

Then... let's go to the Escape Room!

[ you wanted this ]

[selfpreservationist]

[i did want this]

Eager for an adventure, are we? Do you have a weapon?

[minidevilbreaker]

[Balls his little hand into a fist and shows Raven]

[selfpreservationist]

[places his hand on top of nero's fist]

That's fine for bullies, but for monsters, you'll need something a little... sharper.

[minidevilbreaker]

I've fought a lot of bullies though.

[selfpreservationist]

Just trust me.

[he's going to buy nero a child-sized katana and present it to him]

Try this.

[minidevilbreaker]

[Little baby Nero's eyes grow wide! It's so pretty!! Also sharp!!!]

Is that for me?!

[selfpreservationist]

Yes, it's for you. So you have to take good care of it, and be careful with it, alright?

[minidevilbreaker]

I will! I'll be really careful.

[He hugs it close to his body, a cherished thing]

Does it have a name?

[selfpreservationist]

I think that's up to you. You'd better think of a good one.

[minidevilbreaker]

[Thinking...]

I think I'll call it... Crow.

[selfpreservationist]

Crow... it sounds strong.

[minidevilbreaker]

[Beams!!]

It's because ravens and crows are related! This sword came from you, so-- so it's like a smaller raven.
