Nico didn't know how to be anything but blunt. There was no point in beating around the bush since all that ever did was take up precious time - time that he could have used actually getting somewhere with a girl, or doing other things. He had met his fair share of straight-forward girls, too, but there was something different about Umeko. She wasn't cocky or conceited in her bluntness, which was a plus in Nico's books, and more points in Umeko's favor.

He took the hot chocolate she offered, sipping it slowly and enjoying the way the warm liquid traveled down his throat. He let out a soft 'aaah' before he glanced over at Umeko. Her words made Nico grin wickedly, and he arched a brow at her in amusement. "So you wanna know about me, huh?" It had been a while since a girl showed actual interest in Nico, and it made the sprite beam with pride. He cleared his throat, and took another sip of his drink before he answered her questions.

"So like, I'm originally from Northern Cali, if that tells you anything about what I like. I'm into surfing, and snowboarding. Hiking, and camping. Before the shit hit the fan, me and Loki liked to go out to clubs. Used to drag Zach along, but it was never really his scene." He shrugged, laughing a bit at some of the times they had actually gotten Zach to go only to have him be a complete wallflower for the entire night. "Other than that, I like video games like any other guy. I used to play with my little bro, but he's in another haven with the rest of my fam. I came here with my two best friends." He took a bite out of his sandwich, and then broke open a bag of the homemade chips from the café. They were actually pretty good, even if they didn't have all the flavors from before.

"How 'bout you? What's your story?"
