"I'd still rather see my enemy coming than not see them at all."
And that, truly, was the only degree of wisdom necessary for survival in this world. A possible enemy who was upfront about their intentions was far preferrable over a potential enemy who comes from nowhere.
Besides, the one thing that always came up whenever people spoke highly of Nero was her honesty-- he was fairly certain that she didn't pose a threat to Union.
"And...thanks, Dresden. I really appreciate that. If you need compensation for anything, I've got a desk job with the Rangers that pays decent enough. And, I can always convince Grandma Martha to make a little extra food on Sundays so I can bring you the leftovers. Her meatloaf and potatoes are excellent. They taste homey, if you get that."
