Nero likely wore the most simple outfit he had since the first few floors of Aincrad. After the third floor, he had always had some kind of accessory on his jackets or pants which wasn't flashy, but was certainly noticeable, whenever he was strolling about a safe zone. However, unlocking floor 25 was a huge deal, and he merely wanted to enjoy the evening with Yuna. He had a pair of nice black pants and boots with a red shirt. Over the shirt was a fine coat of white with only pockets for his ungloved hands. There was a brilliant golden trip to the coat and he had a black gold hat atop his head. In a word, he looked classy more than anything else while a sole ring adorned his hand, increasing the amount of Col his kills would drop and raising the odds of gaining a rare item, or even two of them, from a drop. Upon the back of his coat was the design of a silhouetted phoenix from the top-down in the same gold that trimmed the coat. It was long with a collar turned down, hanging down to his mid-thigh, nearing his knees. It was rare, however, that he would unequip his sword, though this evening was different. He had no weapon at his hip as he peered through the crowd for Yuna.

As he weaved through the droves of people, all drinking, eating, dancing, or just generally having a good time, he looked for the girl he had only recently asked to be his official girlfriend. It was around the twentieth floor that he had finally asked her to be more than friends, though they'd gotten about as far as holding hands thus far. Finally, he saw her dragging Jet, likely having found him first, and he joined them.

"Well of course we are, Jet," He said with a smile, patting his friend on the back. Since the incident with Rose and the Masked Man, Nero had been gradually coming out of his shell. Not to mention, he was the wealthiest player of Aincrad, and many flocked to him if they recognized him on the street. He was the first player to buy a house, and one of very few to have done so thus far. It was a quaint home which was located on Floor Seventeen, which was one of few that actually closely resembled Japan. The house was a single floor with a single bedroom and a kitchen that was attached to the parlour. It wasn't extravagant because Nero wanted something that felt like home, not a massive empty house that he didn't care to use.

As he turned his head, he noticed the chef who was staring in bewilderment at the silver-haired boy, "It's... dessert... well of course it's a dessert..." He muttered defeatedly. Nero stepped forward with a smile, "Hey, can I try one of those?" He asked and was promptly handed a treat, which he quickly popped into his mouth. The boy closed his eyes and chewed, savouring it for a moment... two moments... three. The chef seemed about to die of anticipation before Nero nodded, "Damn, that's excellent. Add me and shoot me a message if you ever need help collecting any of those ingredients. I'm don't farm ingredients, but I [i]am[/i] a farmer of sorts. I'll happily round some up... for a price," He said with a nod. Moments later, he was given a contact request, which he quickly accepted so that the chef could message him at any timed. With that, Nero took Yuna's hand, pausing a moment before speaking quietly, "You look great."

The girl blushed and nodded in thanks; she had put on a dress that she made herself with material from Nero. In fact, it was not just any material, but it came from a beast on a very early floor. From a unique silk worm - the quality was fantastic and she had used it to make a cloak for Nero when she first obtained it. However, with what was left over and that which she could salvage from it when he no longer needed it and made her dress. As it turned out, the material was far ahead of its time, if one was patient, it could be used with a higher skill to make something truly wonderful. The dress would appear white at first glance, but it was actually blue. It had multiple layers of almost-clear blue silk which also seemed to shimmer in the light, It fell to about partway down her shins and she wore a pair of matching gloves with it. Though at first, she didn't like the idea of it, she wore a a silver tiara upon her head, encrusted in sapphire. Nero had obtained it as a very lucky drop and merely asked her to try it on. It just fit right; despite not liking the conspicuousness of it, the appearance grew on Yuna and she found herself putting it on whenever she was in front of the mirror in the morning or evening, but she hadn't worn it otherwise. It made her feel more than beautiful, and she had to admit that she liked it.

The couple held hands and Nero finally looked back to Jet and nodded his head, "Let's walk. We're gonna go see how Jacob and Alice are doing too; I'm almost positive they're around here somewhere. Tonight will be fun, but tomorrow we have to get back to hunting. I also heard that they're trying to take the frontline back on a floor soon, and I'd love to start getting the drops from those bosses. I've been getting maybe four hours of sleep every night trying to keep up with these advancements..." He said with a shake of his head. Yuna merely huffed and looked down, having voiced enough times that she was fairly grateful that Nero couldn't take part on teh frontline. With how much he had already made, he could just sit in his house and pay for meals from NPC restaurants or stores and live fairly well until the game was cleared. Secretly, she wished that he would and invite her, but she liked making weapons and armours and even food for those going out and training every day, though it wasn't the easiest way to make money.
