[That feeling of contentment with life is something Nanami has never had. From the beginning, he was bound to the curse of being useful, to make use of his strength in whatever way he could, and also to ultimately be used. He has never felt the simple, comfortable existence of someone living his life for himself, and when he hears it in Wriothesley's voice, it makes his smile bittersweet. He yearns for that life.
But since he can't have it, he can ensure others can. He relaxes marginally as they keep going, with Nanami leading Wriothesley toward more traveled streets and occupied buildings. Eventually it becomes clear he's taking him home to an apartment.]
I don't think my skills are meant for a ring like that one, but we could find a quiet place. I want to see what you can really do against a proper challenge.
[He could leave it at that, but for some reason he doesn't. Maybe because Wriothesley reminds him of himself from some past time before he lost everything.]
Or there are other ways to test your stamina. Come in. Have you eaten?
[Nanami opens the door to a simple apartment, waiting to see if the boxer will join him or retreat. He holds the door for him either way, letting Wriothesley decide how much he trusts a stranger's home.]
