"Nero, it-" As Nero began his reply, he'd hear another voice call out from the side, "Seems we have another visitor." As he turned his attention from Marcus to the direction of the new voice, Nero couldn't help but be taken aback.

	"Akira?" He spoke aloud, shaking his head before returning his gaze towards the boy. Sure enough, it was him. Though he didn't know Akira all that well, he had met the boy a few times on their home world. It seemed that yet another Hallow Bastion refugee found their way here, "So, you made it too?" Nero couldn't tell if he was more surprised or impressed by the revelation.  Yet, as Akira stepped forward, his question made Nero pinch the bridge of his nose, "So, there's seven of them about? Can't be coincidental..." With that, Nero flexed his right hand, a glimmer of light radiated from his hand as his blade appeared shortly after, only to disappear as the glimmer faded. He'd cast a knowing glance between the two about him.
