[You, sir, are full of fucking shit and Nox knows it. "Long story" means one of two things- either shit went sideways, or it's something Dante really does not want to talk about. Could be one or both. There's no point in pushing, honestly- if it happens, it happens.]
my place asap we can fly there and then you can talk about whatever or we can just duke it the fuck out idc long as youre there thats all i care about
[ it's both a blessing and a curse that nero is so damn versed in all manner and dante-isms, it makes things like this easy but also difficult - because it is hard to hide shit from nero, hard to brush things off and pretend it is nothing. ]
got it see you in a few
[ pointedly, he isn't going to comment on the last thing nero said. ]
[It is. More often than not he's found he's beginning to dislike remembering all the nooks and crannies, despite his desperate attempts to know the family that never seemed to show up until now. Sometimes he wonders if it was better if he didn't know– but Nero was the one on the end of that, and it pissed him off nine times out of ten rather than him seeing the picture for what it was.
You miss so much when someone hides pain so well.
Still Nox shoves the aching feeling in his chest and waits, door practically flinging open as soon as he hears someone knock. Seeing his uncle there just causes a wide smirk on Nox's face, all his gear with him as he locks up the condo.]
It's not that far, but at least you get to see fight club in person now. [His grin widens at that.] Think you can handle a race, old man? Or are your bones too stiff at this rate?
Oh, you're hilarious, kid. [ he's tempted to shove nero, the tension in his shoulders melting away as nero ribs him. he's glad for the kid, really, glad he's here and around and easy to be around. ] Don't get left behind now.
[ dante triggers immediately, launching himself up into the air with an echoing laugh. ]
[Despite his uncle showing up suddenly, Nox hasn't felt this whole in a long while. There's a sense of ease in it, a way of falling into step of old patterns that he honestly wonders if he ever forgot at all. He's thankful for it.]
Wh- hey!
[Leave it to Dante to immediately take off- not that Nox was gonna be any better, really, but it startles a laugh out of him regardless. He follows suit right after, blue wings extending and lifting him right up high enough into the skyline so he can trigger himself. From there, it's a pure beeline as Nox races to be alongside his uncle and try to outdo him.]
Cheater!
[As he pushes forward with a burst of speed, well aware that Dante is gonna keep right up with him the entire time.]
[ dante doesn't respond outside a laugh, sparing a glance towards his nephew's form as they both speed through the air. nero pushes forward with a burst of speed and dante matches without missing a beat, he could go faster but he doesn't keeping right up with nero as they move. ]
[It doesn't take long to arrive at the warehouse, and Nox drops right down to the doors, walking in past everything and then out the back. Here, the space is wider, out in the open, and less obstacles in the way. It's a perfect field for an all-out spar.
Nox quickly bangs against the exterior of the warehouse, something thrumming to life, the barest hints of a barrier going up in response.]
Now we're set. [A beat, and he waits for Dante, honestly.] Had to have a section for people who actually hit hard, you know?
[Will he actually admit that he made the place in the hopes that his family would one day wake up? Probably not. He's sure Dante will notice the small things in some way, though.]
