We worked really hard on it, so you better not just throw it out.
[as most people do with get well cards: there for a moment, a week later finding a home in the trash. it's not so much for wanda's sake as it is for himeka's—clearly this is all too new to their favorite lizard person, and she's taken it all in stride.]
[He's genuinely not sure what to say. He keeps looking at the little drawing, and terrible as it is, the very clear symbol of what is Nero, tail and all, falling off a ship into the ocean. As if he'd simply tripped and not done it for a laugh.
He jerks his gaze up to Wanda.] Why would I throw it out? [He doesn't have a clue that's what people do 'cause he's never had one before. Certainly never one someone, like, drew. And painted. Kyrie's not a card girl, she's a 3-boxes-of-fresh-cookies girl.
Nero's tail lashes back and forth at the tip.]
Yeah. It helps. [Somewhere out there, Nico's asking, you gonna cry?] Thanks. [He looks between them.] Really. And though it's none of your business what I do with it... maybe I will hang it up. Place could use a little fine art.
[ She knows well the tell-tale tail-twitch of unbridled emotion. Well, somewhat bridled. Slightly bridled. He's holding it in, but he's clearly moved by it to some degree. Her own tail waves back and forth in wide, pleased swishes. ]
I agree, I think it would brighten the place up a bit. If you want more art, I'm sure Wanda and I would be up to the challenge too.
[ Just gifting a series of poorly done recreations of Nero's mishaps throughout Abraxas. With love. ]
[fine art, he calls it, and wanda can't help but smile at that. honestly, things seem to be going relatively okay in their lives—despite all the trouble that brews here and there within the factions.
surely she won't come to scold herself for such positive thinking in the future.
wanda smiles.]
Do you want a hug?
[it sounds like she's teasing, but she earnestly means it.]
[ Hugs! Himeka likes hugs very much, thank you, so she doesn't waste a second when Nero relents to Wanda's teasing question. One arm wraps right around Nero while the other waits for Wanda to come into the fold.
[despite her teasing and her more closed-off attitude, wanda makes her way into the hug between both himeka and nero. she wraps her arms around their middles, happy to be crushed by one annoying nero.

Huh.]
I never was not okay. You know that, right? [Or this is more poking at him, which he sniffs at.]
Yeah. Sure. [Nero opens his arms, and now his whole tail swishes.] Come'ere.
[Hope you're both ready to be crushed.]

What's better than one hug? A group hug. ]

she really loves them both, much like family.
wanda even smiles.]
