Yes, Venus can carry Nascour.

Thanks for the treat! These two are always fun~

"I can't seem to understand you"

They were practically falling over their own feet in their efforts to be near their idol, their Lady Venus. 

Nascour stretched out his legs, making himself comfortable on the couch he was sitting on, and watched the spectacle with barely concealed amusement. The gesture was deliberate. They were scrambling to get just a moment in Venus' presence, just a brief smile; he was here to stay, long after security — his people — escorted them out. 

Nevertheless, the level of adoration she so effortlessly inspired within her fans was enviable. Nascour observed how Venus graciously accepted gift after gift, fed her spellbound audience with sweet nothings and smiled as brightly as her aura shone — he wouldn't even need to look at her to sense it, glowing with sheer pride and satisfaction. He could almost feel the warmth. She was going to be good company tonight, content and sated. 

The auras of her fans were hard to ignore as well, despite the searing luminosity of Venus' presence. They loved her, some of them with delightfully delusional fanaticism. She could have any of them, without even having to lift a finger. One word would suffice. 

Nascour considered it flattering that Venus was as fond of him as he was of her. He didn't mind that they were more friends than lovers; he would've even understood it if she'd declined his offer of partnership in favor of one of her adoring fans. After all, what could be better than someone who worshipped her, lived to please her, died to protect her? 

Living to rule rather than living to serve was a flaw of his that Nascour gladly and proudly accepted. 

But that wasn't the reason. Venus remained alone, steadfast in her choice and content with how things were. And that part of her psyche sometimes eluded him. Nascour never left such opportunities unused. 

His musings were interrupted when Venus gracefully sat down on the couch and snuggled up to him. 

"Are you rating my performance? Or just contemplating the meaning of life?" she teased. 

With a low chuckle, Nascour shook his head. "Hm. I just... I can't seem to understand you." 

"How so?" 

"They would do anything for you, and you won't take any of them? Is it not enough or do you truly have no need for that?"
