Simply walking away from here does not seem to fit the accounts from the publication. Then there's the fact that the kid is being intentionally vague in his reasons for traversing the forest alone and his destination if he were to walk away, well... "Obviously."

"I'd rather not leave. How embarrassing would that be? Say I've been bested by some invisible wall in a forest after stumbling around it for two days. Two days!" Yet the professor hardly appears as though he's been lost in the woods for that amount of time. One would think he'd look at least a little disheveled. Yet there is nary a hair out of place, nary a wrinkle in any of his clothing. "I've been walking in one large circle, barred by..." Better to show than describe. He starts into a jog, slamming his shoulder into the invisible force keeping him out and bouncing right back. "Does that seem normal to you?"

[stygicniron]

He doesn't look like he's been in the forest for two days, Nico notes to himself, one brow arching ever so slightly. Unless the guy has a campsite nearby, but Nico's pretty sure he would have seen that. But if the guy has a campsite, does that mean he's here on purpose? So maybe he does know that he should be looking for Something. Not that he clearly knows what that Something might be, or how to proceed further.

"Two days is a long time to wander around in the forest," he agrees instead, just managing to keep his face blank as the man seems to bounce off of thin air. "And that is... interesting."

Nico could just lie to him, he considers, pulling himself to his feet to walk closer to where the guy just bounced off the barrier to Camp. But would that be pushing his luck? "How did you do that? Was that a magic trick, or--," he starts before intentionally walking through the barrier, even going a few extra steps before turning around in apparent confusion. "What are you talking about?"

’ ugh. fine. ’ ( to jason ) / @stygicniron

Oh, Jason is beaming.

❝ Excellent ! ❞ he replies with a brisk cheer — just in case Nico decides to back out. Which he can, of course, but even the winds pick up Jason's excitement, flickering through his hair and pulling at his Camp Jupiter shirt. Beside them, Tempest shakes his lightning-formed head as if resigning himself to the whole thing as well.

Jason doesn't let Nico close until they're touching; he holds out a hand in offering. ❝ You should be fine, but you definitely will be if you hang onto me. I can ground you. Just in case. — Anyway, c'mon ! ❞

He trusts Tempest; after all, the storm steed has already saved his own life before — has proven himself a reliable ally. But Jason is also aware of the fickle nature of the sky and its phenomenon. So he can put the rest of that trust in himself, and make sure it's a shock free ride.

[stygicniron]

Okay. Okay, okay, this is fine, this is alright. Everything is okay and fine. It's all Nico can do to offer himself reassurances instead of run in the opposite direction. He's heard some bad ideas in his days, and not even all of them are his, but this has got to be up there with the worst. Him? On a flying horse? Going into the actual sky? That's about six different things at once that Nico, to put it lightly, is not a fan of.

But he trusts Jason, right? Or at least, Nico would feel about the same as kicking a puppy if he decides to go back on the deal now. And he just manages to swallow a groan as he takes Jason's hand. This is still a bad idea though.

In any event, he trusts Jason much more than he trusts a sky-horse, or the sky in general, and he mentally vows to stick to Jason as close as makes sense. At least Jason can actually fly and probably won't buck him away for smelling like death. Probably. "Great, yeah, this is great. If I die, I'm haunting you."

Nico doesn't have time to pat himself on the back for the cool one-liner. It's not like he'd been thinking about what he was going to say the entire time he and his father were making the journey up from the Underworld, himself pressed near his father's side on the god's war chariot with the legions of the dead behind them. Whatever he said had to be really cool, though, right? Otherwise, he would go down at the lamest son of Hades, along with everything else his father accused him of, and that just might be the worst.

Your death would be great for me.

Yeah, that works.

The battle is on them like a tidal wave, and not one even brought on by Percy this time, and Nico finds himself separated from his father's chariot, making his ways towards the doors of the Empire State Building, hoping to defend the last opening to Mount Olympus. It seems like he's obviously not the only one with that idea.

Gold eyes return stare for stare as Nico feels dread coil around his feet, gripping his sword stubbornly, raising it between himself and the Titan in demigod's flesh. Gods, he hopes this isn't going to be his final stand as Percy's words filter through his mind--Luke's the best swordfighter Percy's ever met.

Nico scowls generally in response before replying, "You haven't seen some of my problems."

what really stands out to me is how you write his inner thoughts! i'm bad at articulating it but the way you write is really engaging and enjoyable to read.

// Thank you so much! I love trying to capture Nico's voice and, because he tends to be a less talkative muse, I try to push that out more in his inner thoughts. It makes me so happy to hear you enjoy it too! I feel like you do such a lovely job capturing Ryuji's mannerisms and engaging extroversion--it's so much fun to see you throw him in literally any situation.

[stygicniron]

i love your writing in general but something that always stands out to me are the lore drops and references !!! there are just so many good details that you include and i feel like i learn more about nico and his world every time i read one of your replies <3

Ask Meme -- @kindofuneven

// Ahhhhh, thank you so much!! And right back at you, though! I feel like you are the definitive source on all things Scott and I love hearing your dissections on his character and everything he goes through. Thank you for sending this in!
