[ liars? yes. who doesn't lie? its a foundation of being a Servant, masking your true name. but thieves? well, those too. but he's an exception; his crimes aren't machiavellian and his targets aren't state coffers.
Nero struggles against baser impulses. to slather him in kisses and clean the wine off till there was no proof it had ever been there. use all power at her disposal to get him on the bed. to have him stay. to find the words that would turn her into a Caster and bewitch him, because evidently, she herself was not enough. but no. she refuses. if he intends to walk away, then she intends to allow him.
it wouldn't mean the end of this. she'd create a new route. new emoji. unfurl the banner. make herself the apple of his eye so his shot would only ever fly to her. ]

Nero would never. any wounds heal. and his heart is barbed and steely to begin with. wouldn't it need to be? to live the life that he had?
Robin has not moved. and Nero's hold has only tightened. ]
Why should you feel the need to run? [ Please don't go. ] If you feel it best to go, then - before - is there nothing I can do or say to change your mind? [ Nero will not beg. she is nearly doing so. because she is selfish, and underhanded, and every bit the spoiled child Robin thinks she is.
therefore she puts another kiss onto his collarbone. warm, sweet. flushed from blood that does not know where it wants to go in his body, head or heart. ]
