Was it merely her imagination, or had she felt a breeze in the apartment, despite there not being open windows or doors? Nero would likely be wondering what the deal was, but there most definitely was an odd movement of wind. Strangely, this had begun right around the time she had mentioned throwing the milk out. And even more odd was the horrible fake smile Kuuro had begun to wear. Yet there was not a single word to come out of his mouth for a while. 

[color=brown]"...I-I see. You're in for a treat, then."[/color]

As he finally did manage to speak, his words seemed to almost be forced out of his mouth in a pleasant tone that was clearly fake. The young man tried not to dwell on the murderous urges that had begun to build inside him, and instead looked towards the pantry. Getting everything he needed would take his mind off of the bad stuff. 

Most of it, anyways. He couldn't keep Nero from speaking. 

Or so he thought that was a bad thing, until she unknowingly stroked his well-hidden hero complex. [color=brown]"A-ah, superhero? Well, I wouldn't go that far...aha"[/color] he suddenly found a stupid smirk plastered on his face that took a bit longer than he wanted to get rid of. [color=brown]"It's just a volunteer job I do to keep myself occupied, in a way I can get behind. Turned out to be rather boring, though. And I don't think it's feasible to find your bag anymore, I'm afraid."[/color]

Kuuro had been like one of those guys who joins something like the FBI because of exaggerated action films, only to discover that the occupation was filled with a lot of busywork. Still, he did feel some pride when he was able to help people. A good deed a day keeps the crooks away, or something.

Naturally, Nero was capable of causing Kuuro's mood to violently change with only a few words. A unique ability that might just be unrivaled by anyone else in Academy City. If they could power buildings by using the irritation one felt, Kuuro was sure he could power the entirety of Academy City with Nero in proximity. Kuuro turned around. 

[color=brown]"...what was that?"[/color] he asked, the vein in his forehead pulsing and his eyes narrowing. [color=brown]"Does the exhibitionist really like roleplaying as an innocent girl that much? I shouldn't be hearing this from someone who takes their love for books a few steps too far."[/color]
