[ missed each other? almost assuredly. the benefit to being a Servant is the lack of need for food or sleep, so Nero can explore endlessly. which really means SHOPPING. some fool gave her a credit card and a bank account and both are....
well it takes a bit before she remembers that there's a house that she can store all her things in now.
so Nero has to kick open the door, for her hands are filled with a thousand bags of varying materials and sizes. clothes! housewares! a few bouquets of roses and vases to put them in! and a doorman carrying one emperor-sized giant cat pillow to rest beside the door. Nero is a giant blur of activity and noise and loud laughter and -
- oh.
someone is sitting at the table she puts a few bags down onto. ]
A roommate!?
[ good thing she'd bought enough cake for two and three and four. so Nero puts it in front of her new roommate with a smile that could split her face in half. ]
This city has chosen to bless me for I have a beautiful gentleman to share my living quarters with! [ tea may have become custom after her reign, but Nero takes a seat with finery that seems a strange match for her excitement. back straight, cup held carefully with both hands. until a sip is had and sugar added, where she extends her fingers as though there's a ring he ought to kiss. there isn't because again - after her time. ]
Count yourself among the fortunate, Eichi Tenshouin, for I am Nero Claudius. Yes, indeed - the very Nero Claudius that you have heard of.
[ at least if you are a student of Roman history. in which case there might be more questions. ]
[Oh, she's cute, isn't she? At least until that introduction settles in, and Eichi considers it for a moment. He may not know everything about history, but Emperors and all sorts of rulers are his forte. He's studied them for hours on end.]
Nero Claudius, is it? The extravagant Emperor that ruled in tyranny over Rome? That's quite the claim...
[He wonders how to approach something like this, looking her over again, tilting his head to one side.] But, perhaps I'm recalling incorrectly... I never thought that Nero Claudius would actually be a cute girl? Is there something I'm missing?
[ RUDE. Nero puffs her cheeks and scowls a bit at the tyranny part. ]
Well, it is surely not my fault if your history instruction was fraught with misconceptions and poor emphasis! My artistic achievements and statesmanship far outweighed crimes and accusations.
[ maybe she'll take that cake back!!
or just sip the tea. ]
Since this is our first meeting I will forgive your confusion - many have thought me nothing more than a cruel despot, or mistook me for a nobleman. But it is no mere claim! For I am the benevolent Emperor of Roses - and if we will be living together, you may simply call me 'Nero'.
[ oh! roses!
good thing she remembered them, because they need to be put in vases and water before they wilted. one whole bag is nothing but bouquets - she lifts it now and heads into the kitchen to fill some vases. all red roses. ]
It appears we both have fine taste in flowers. Yes, despite your rudeness in bringing up rumors, I think we will get along just fine.
[To call her Nero-chan? Well, he's doing it for now, at least. He doesn't follow after her, since he's resting currently, but his gaze does.] I do recall that you had a love for music, as well as things like acting and poetry... Then, allow me to extend my own introduction a bit.
I'm Yumenosaki Academy's top idol, the so-called "Emperor" who was chased from his throne. Though I was called that, and sometimes still am, and though I was a bit of a tyrant myself, the truth is that I'm simply a boy in high school, nearing his graduation.
[He had placed his hand over his chest to get her a little bow from where he's seated, low and appropriate.]
I wonder if those in charge of our rooming have a sense of humor. [He's thinking so.] In any case, it's a pleasure to meet such a famous Emperor such as yourself. As you can see, I enjoy flowers deeply... and tea, as well.
As long as you can put up with my sickly body existing in the same space as yours, then I don't believe we'll have a problem at all. Red roses... they mean "love," one of the most well-known flower language definitions. They're beautiful.
