[Nero wants to retort with a "Do you?" because it doesn't seem like he does with the wanting to find more ceruleum to do just that... again. So...
But every now and then the other does manage to hold his tongue and not spout the first sharp retort he has. But he can only do that maybe once.]
Oh. I do love it when you snap at me for no reason. It's thrilling. You might find this hard to believe but I didn't know that. Because I'm not a mind reader. You pulled crystals out of your sack I made the assumption you were looking for crystals and ceruleum... now.
[He huffs, just a bit and pushes himself off the ground. He's had all he can stand of this mine and present company. But since this is not going to prove as fruitful as he'd hoped it's time to look into other sources of energy however temporary. Would Ceruleum be nice? Of course it would. As would Aether infused crystals. But Ceruleum needs to be refined before it's truly useful. And it's still a dangerous substance that they lack the proper caution and tools to be fussing around with. You still need to be careful.
If Cid strikes metaphorical gold Nero will definitely be back to get in on that. Until then though he will be looking into other things that may be useful. This world buzzes with new technology and he will find out how it works and embrace it as best he can. And the other can call him lazy if he so chooses. That's not what it is at all. It's scouting out far greener pastures. Some of which may prove quite fertile. Living in the past is boring. The ancient technologies are beautiful and fascinating and he carved his name by knowing how they function. But you must take the old and the new and keep striving forward despite that love for it. With what you know of the past you can create something even better in the present and so much more in the future. Ceruleum isn't going to do them any good at present. So instead of clinging to that precious but non existent substance he will look for something new and apply it to what he knows. As any proper scientist should.]
Enjoy your digging. I hope it brings you the peace you're lacking.
