NERON
show me how defenceless you really are
Neron can absolutely appreciate the lies and manipulation that comes with what Flora's describing, and the nod he gives her is almost one of approval. "You'd be everyone's favourite contact, but also the worst person for them to cross," he agrees with a smirk. "Let me know if you go ahead with it. I might have a guild for you to join in earnest." It's for spies and it doesn't technically exist any more, but Neron is trying to change that.
Unfortunately, the flow of their conversation drops flatter than Flora's tone as she mentions the Lullaby, and Neron tilts his head at her, amused. "Not a fan of Ludo's demigod? I can't say I blame you," he drawls. "But yes, as it happens. It was a trade, though I'm not sure it was worth it even now. Granted, if I hadn't agreed to at least get something out of it, I imagine he'd have taken what he wanted from me whether I liked it or not. Not really one for consent, is Remi Taliesin."
