It is then that Nero drops his smile. He still doubts that his powers will return to him. Oh, he'll be able to use them, but not without wrecking his entire body for doing so. Which, again, begs the question how he is going to go about convincing Link not to use his magic.
Whenever he or another elf uses magic, he gets punished for it. That was why he kept a few countries' distance between him and any elf for the past few decades. There is a limit to how close he can be, but he's never tested it. Who would? He isn't a masochist! He's a sadist, thank you.
"You know, it might not be a good idea for us to use our magic right away." Nero decides to put it like that since he hasn't gauged Link's level of sadism yet. A cheerful and smiling face doesn't mean that the person is a good individual, after all. "I'm not sure about you, but my own can cause quite a bit of destruction."
Not a whole lie, at least.
"These people are trusting in us." As fucking stupid as that is. "At the moment, we're honored guests but any misstep and we could end up in the dungeon or worse... labeled as dangers to society." Which, he would find hilarious, honestly. But not hilarious if his whole body ends a bloody mess because Link casts one spell.
"We don't have any place to fallback on if things get messy. So, it's best to hide what we're capable of, don't you think, Cousin?"
