[it's... it's the hangover. yeah, that must also be the reason he's not thinking straight. the reason he's talking before he thinks about his words. he's gone and said something kind of dumb. something Nero doesn't need to hear.

["you're all I need"

but she does. and she isn't afraid to admit it to his face. it's not true, anyway. she wants the attention of an audience, the love of the people. the focus of her Master, he knows. she wants the world and Robin isn't it. she doesn't stop petting his ears, either. the aggression is gone and he's passive with that. like her touch calms him down.
she leaves him staring at her back while she bounces off, reaching up to touch his ears.]
Something bad's gonna happen, I know it... [just behind her, Robin falls into step in her shadow. where he normally finds himself.
they don't run into anyone else. though Robin holds the small hope of stumbling across whoever was in current possession of his mantle. he feels completely useless without it. they don't.
because his luck is shit.
they do make it to Tamamo's haunt and Robin lifts his hand to knock at the door.]
