Crotona nodded as Hencrypt explained that the man became greedy, it was not as simple as just being evil. "Of course. But greed is one of the good ways to become vile. Greed consume the consciousness of good. Even when its a good type of greed like the strength to protect others. Too much of that could be dangerous." But Crotona waved her hand as he noted he felt responsible. "I don't think you are. Everyone makes choices in their lives. And sometime they are the wrong ones. Other can steer them back on the right path but it not up to them to do that. It is up to the person to change their ways. If they fall in darkness, that was their choice most of the time." Corruption could happen too but that was much rarer.
As for the Kashvarr, Nero noted what he knew believing maybe they were some good among the Kashvarr. Crotona gave a nod, "I'm sure they are. But it is just a shame so many of them are so evil. But maybe The Konatsians just don't fully understand them. Maybe there a reason they hate us. I hope that is not the case. And I don't know much about the Mazoku but if their as bad as the Kashvarr then yikes. But I doubt that. The Kashvarr only crave destruction most of the time and malice. I doubt the Mazoku are so easy to categorize." As for Nero request to help them get to safety. she nodded. "I can't really fly that well but I can carry them for sure. And try to fly a bit." She was still mastering flight, she was not sure how well she do carrying others while flying. Seems a bit of a scary thing to do.
Since both Nero and Crotona asserted that Hencrypt was innocent in this scenario and that he couldn’t have known how events would unfold between him and Graftin, he let go of a lot of regret that had been holding a grip on his heart. “Thank you, both of you. It is refreshing to hear that, you are right.” At the very least, Graftin made his own choices rather than get controlled, so Hencrypt had less to feel guilty for.
Nero nodded, listening intently to Crotona’s assessment and view of the Kashvarr situation; she had her reservations of course, but she understood that there was nuance to that situation as well. “It wouldn’t hurt to try and look into it. If you uncover the true history of how and why things are the way they are on Konats, you can begin the healing process by moving forward from it.” Nero smiled, it was nice to hear someone from a different perspective speak in a measured and impartial manner about the situation regarding the Namekian Clans. “I hope to figure everything out here on Namek myself regarding the clans, get at least a tangible step closer to solving the deeper issues. That way I can be sure that the future of this world is able to prosper as it deserves to.” He spoke fondly of this goal as he hoisted the two least mobile animatronics— the seal and the ferret— onto his Nimbus while picking up Hencrypt’s crystal.
“No need to worry, It’s okay if we just walk, the point is just to get moving.” The last two animatronics that were more mobile only needed support to be able to walk though. After making sure the Nimbus was able to carry the other two, Nero offered a hand to the dog animatronic so that he could get one of its arms over his shoulder. By doing that, the two could walk together at a decent pace. This left the crow in Crotona’s care, and this animatronic slowly shuffled over to her making a tiny whistle sound; almost like an ocarina being played!
"Yah maybe it would be good once I head back. But Konats was in a crisis when I left. So I don't know if I can even just go back." Crotona frowned. The more she had been out, the more she wished she had stayed to help. Though she had gotten to stronger so maybe it was a benefit overall. Eventually she would be strong enough to go back and fight against whatever darkness had taken over the darkness. But she had a lot of work to do not just on Konats. She wanted to help on what was going on Namek as well. To help out what was going on with Namek. So maybe she do what she could here and then eventually go back to Konats to help the planet. Anyway, now they were just keep moving. She would listen to the noise around them softly absorbing the noise of the Ocarina. It was a really nice noise the machine made. She smiled at the machine. Crotona walked wistfully. "This is nice. I'm glad I was able to help. I am going to keep helping on this planet. If your willing to keep helping me along Nero." She gave an affirmative nod. Regardless of Nero answer, Crotona kept walking into the distance to bring the machine to their new home.

“You don’t need to figure it out right away you know, whenever you are able to return to Konats, you will, and you’ll do your best to figure things out for your people. Simple as that.” Though, by then perhaps there would be something different in the mix. “That is of course, assuming you don’t have some friends along for that adventure.” Nero shrugged a little, offering that he may want to come along when that time comes, it would all depend on how his own mission here on Namek went.
Nero listened to the whistling that the crow animatronic made, he thought it was quite nice, but Crotona clearly connected to it more; and it made sense, Konatsians also had musical inclinations— ocarinas were known to be one of the most common instrument that Konatsian people played after all!
The crow animatronic gave a muffled little tweet, happy that the short little tune it played was well received. Perhaps one day they would hear it better once it was all fixed up. “I’m glad that you’re here and choosing to help to begin with, Crotona. I look forward to working together in the future should the need arise, that you can count on.” Nero smiled in response, carefully guiding his Nimbus forward while supporting the canine animatronic as the group set off for the safe haven Nero knew would be the most fitting for them.
