Yeah. [ he shrugs, dismissing it with a look of anyone would have made you a necklace even when he knows somewhere in the back of his head that it isn't true. most people haven't made the effort to get to know him but in that same vein, Nico hasn't made himself available to be known. Percy can see that he's working on that here, that he's obviously been working on it in the six months ahead of Percy. ] I get that. Wanting to do something, I mean.
