Thank you @budgie2budgie for letting Nicky come out to play 😉

During their break:
O: Aye man, you good?
N: Hm? Oh, yeah… *Obie looks at him disbelieving* I don’t know. I just really hate the guy. Her career is finally taking off and now woocking, lover boy Sallinger is here to offer her the world and save the day.
O: *chuckles* I somehow doubt that.
N: I don’t know man, I just don’t woocking trust him. I mean, he writes a book professing how much he loooved her and how she was one of the best things to happen to him, and now he just coincidentally shows up here needing her help? What? Does he think he’s slick? He doesn’t think the whole simiverse can see through his shit?
O: Isn’t he like, married with a kid—
N: Married? *scoffs* More like shacked up with some dude for the time being. Sims like him don’t settle down for long.
O: But what about sims like Mo? I can’t see her doing anything to hurt you. Hell, she traveled hours over the holidays just to tell you she had feelings for you. I doubt she’d throw it all away on a player like him. Especially not one who’s already broken her heart.
N: *snorts* You didn’t see them in Sulani. They looked pretty damn cozy… like nothing ever happened.
O: True. I didn’t. But I have seen her with you. That’s enough.
N: I don’t even know what we’re doing anymore…
O: Has she given any indication that she wants out?
N: She says I’m being ridiculous and that they don’t feel that way anymore. She says she won’t work with him. But I know it’s only because of me; not because she doesn’t want to. If I wasn’t in the picture—
O: But you are. *gestures for a cigarette*
N: Didn’t you quit? *Obie waves him off* I don’t get why he can’t just leave her alone.
O: It could be worse. At least he’s somewhat moved on. I mean, he could still be in love with her… like Walker’s ex…
N: *confused* What? *Obie lets out a bitter chuckle, then nods* Where’s he?
O: San Myshuno. But I had the pleasure of spending most of the Winterfest holiday with him and her family.
N: *dumbfounded* They invited him to Winterfest for—
O: They’re not assholes. *sighs* It’s complicated. But long story short, unlike Lee and Mo, there were still very deep emotions present, and I was very much in my feelings. But I realized, I had to trust Walker, regardless of how… of how he felt.
N: *smirks* You hate him. *Obie inhales deeply, and Nicky laughs* You hate him, hate him. I didn’t think that was possible, mister cool as a cucumber!
O: *sigh* Let’s just say I haven’t been hitting the gym extra hard these days just for my health. *Nicky laughs* Though I hate to admit it, talking to him one-on-one really helped put things in perspective.
N: *scowls* I’m more likely to punch him in his smug face than resolve anything.
O: *chuckles* Yeah… I know that feeling well. Just know the only sim that would really be hurt in that scenario would be Monai. I’m not saying you definitely should; just… think about it.
