Yeah, I'm not opposed. Man, come on though, you think I'm gonna hurt a kid? I got kids! I know how to help 'em.
[ It's a combination. He does trust Nero, and he likes Steve well enough. He also knows Nero is bored as fuck in Solvunn. Wouldn't hurt to give him something to hit. ]
I'll owe you a drink.
[ Other things he knows about Nero: perpetually without coin. Not that Nero will have any opportunity to collect soon. Nocwich's doors are closed again. ]
Anyway, I guess. Yeah. Not mine. Adopted. Back home, we run a sort of orphanage. Better than them runnin' around on the streets. One of the reasons I gotta get the fuck outta here, but... no luck so far.

Don't deny me my fun.
Hmm. Not a drink guy. Make it lunch and I'll take you up on it.

Fine. Lunch.

Suppose the brats in Solvunn will have to suffice for now.
no subject
Yeah, yeah, but they're good kids. Just feels like there's gettin' to be more of them every day.

[ That's an ominous remark. ]
Tell me more next time.
