@notte-la-lagna​ asked: ❝  long way from home, aren’t you?  ❞ || GOD OF WAR

The question is pointed, sudden, emerging out of the rubble and dust before its speaker ever does--Nero twists on his heel with bristled nerves and all, expecting foe more than friend, Red Queen brandished ready in one sturdy hand.

He finds himself greeted but with a man, and a sigh forces itself from his lungs as his posture gentles with (cautious) relief. Enough to smile, even, as the blood sticking hot and dark to the pale of his face is smeared aside. “Yeah, well...home’s not always where the work is. Get too picky about where your contracts are coming from and you’re never going to turn a penny. And trust me...need all the pennies I can get, pal.” How this one would know in the first place where ‘home’ is for a devil hunter is another concern entirely. Alongside...

“...Have you been watching me this whole time?” A brow quirks, high and pondering as the hunter leans upon the pommel of his sword. “Pretty sure I told everyone to clear out before I took care of this. Wanna avoid as many casualties as we can, y’know?”

Curiosity breaches his expression. “Or maybe you’re the kinda guy that doesn’t apply to.”
