[Handshakes are the worst for Nero. He's not fond of so much touching and having his space invaded. Still, it's a simple greeting. So he takes his hand and returns the handshake before pulling back immediately.]
Savia's easy enough to say. You lucked out and ended up with something simple.
[He'll walk ahead for a bit and expect her to follow. ]
[ she is a nice girl, she spends her days tinkering with machinery and tries to keep the peace a lot of the time. which means she'll only be a menace when she absolutely loses it. ]
[ He's not an asshole enough to say no to that. Nero might actually be surprised when Savia turns into a menace on her bad days. She's so gentle now!! Food it is. ]
Yeah, sure. I'll pass on desserts and you better eat vegetables.
You sound like someone I know, except with a more direct mouth.
[ Wait that wasn't the way that was supposed to come out. She continues hurriedly. ]
Oh that's a compliment, I promise! Ishtar's really good but she's not very direct. Like she'll say "Oh Savia, you'll need to eat something other than crackers your skin will dry out."

[ She holds out her hand for a hand shake. ]

Nero's easy enough to say too!
[ She'll just follow him because food awaits. ]
My last name's Constantin, that's a little bit of a mouthful. I think.

[ Nero's tense expression softens a bit. She seems like a nice girl?? It's hard to stay grouchy around someone friendly. ]
I don't have a last name and I'm glad for it. Let's keep the nonsense to a minimum.

Do you want to get some food, Nero?
[ It's a sincere request. ]

Yeah, sure. I'll pass on desserts and you better eat vegetables.
