He's not at all surprised when his uncle deflects. It's what he always does with honest sentiments. Nero doesn't know the full extent of why, but it's clear enough that there's some discomfort around confronting emotional declarations head-on. Even when he's the one who starts them off, he flees the minute it goes back his direction.
So NEro won't push, won't gripe about Dante not taking him seriously. He just gives him a knowing look. He'll say it again later, as many times as it takes to get it through Dante's thick fucking skull. For now, he lets it go.]
What, you taking off? Got somewhere else to be? [Afraid he'll say he likes you as a person and is happy you're family again?]
