To talk to him in person, you'll need to be in Cadens or go to his domain, a snowy mountain fortress. Yard is open; doors are locked. If he isn't around, leave a delivery with the white wolf.

It's recent.
[ Truth be known, if Nero were in Cadens, he'd have spoken to him about it. Nero is one of the few he hasn't much reason to worry after—someone who could reliably handle Dean if (when) things went to shit.
But right now, there's only him. How much longer can he justify giving it more time? He just—doesn't want the same regrets he had with Eskel. ]
If it gets worse,
Tell me.
no subject
[Sounds fake, but okay.]
What, you want me to babysit him, too?
[It's not a no. The last thing he's gonna live with is sitting back while another guy decides to turn into a demon and kill everyone around him.]
Just... be careful. I've seen this happen before, and people started dying real fast. They're good at hiding it, until hiding it isn't worth it anymore.
no subject
[ The Singularity's role is unknown, but getting into the entire thing is...complicated. And anyhow. Nero does visit the Roadhouse. He'll come across Dean from time to time. May as well keep an eye on him then. ]
He isn't hiding it.
We've spoken.
[ Though. ]
Have you ever cured them?
no subject
There's no curing it. It's not a disease, man. They did it on purpose. [Not that he knows if Dean did or not. There's not a chance in hell the reports from the Order, from Agnus, made it here. He would've seen more. More evidence of it. The Order doesn't exist here. Doesn't really exist anywhere, honestly. And the only one who has those papers, or any evidence of what the Order was doing, is Nico.] Every one I know who did it is dead.
no subject
It seems to be a corrupting force,
that's clung to him.
[ Dean is still human. For now. He does not know what lies ahead, what exactly Dean is meant to transform into. Something immortal and unstoppable, supposedly. He's been told, but the details come from people he doesn't trust. ]
no subject
[A corrupting force. It's not that he doesn't believe it, because -- no offense -- Dean doesn't really seem like a science guy. But if a giant rock can turn people into demons, why the fuck are they letting it stand?
He hadn't considered the Singularity could be like the Qliphoth. They're obviously nothing alike -- besides being big -- and this is only one case of a guy turning into a demon. It doesn't mean anything. It's just. Why's everything big gotta be so fucked up?
If it's not from the Singularity, it means... maybe he brought it from home. Or everyone else is keepin' it to themselves. Nero's never heard of something natural that can turn humans into demons. Bet Dante hasn't, either.]
Clung to him from what? Do you know if it really came from that fuckin' rock? Or is that just what he's tellin' you?
no subject
But it has not crossed his mind there may be similarities between what Nero knows and what's been happening. In the end, he skirts across the fine details. ]
It's what I suspect.
It hails from his world,
but it's followed him here.
Only the Singularity has been capable of...
Transferring memories and changes.
no subject
Well. It plays close to home. Not everyone was a completely evil asshole when they changed -- eventually -- but bein' a demon didn't help. Maybe he'll be cool. I dunno. But seeing those wings rotting off doesn't look like a good sign. Like it might be gettin' worse.
no subject
I'll take care of it.
no subject
[Maybe anyone else, it would be a taunt, but with Geralt, it's a real question. And he can't help feeling pity for the poor bastard. And a whole lot more he doesn't want to untangle, deep in his chest.]
If you need me, say it. Maybe I can make my way over there. Not like this place's got anti-air missiles.
[Probably.]
no subject
[ Sword through the chest, more like. Wouldn't be the first time. He can't decide if it helps or not that Dean has asked him to do this.
Suppose they're at least both on the same page. ]
I will.
Worry about your own troubles
In the meantime.
no subject
[There may be a sense Nero is holding something back. And maybe ten minutes later, it comes.]
I don't envy you. If you got to do it. Just wanted to say... I understand. That's all. Don't gotta say anything else.
no subject
It's never the monster you want to kill.
no subject
Yeah. Funny how it works out that way, huh?
