The mood was still fairly sour between the two boys, and it was lucky for Nick that he wasn't exactly sure if his brother was going to be there. Part of him wanted him to just show up out of the blue all cheerful so they could get back to normal again and another part of him just wished that he didn't have to see him again at all, the way things were going.
So far, he liked it at Elisabeth's. The boy, Arthur was apparently around his age and although he didn't really see a lot of him he could tell they were bound to get along at some point and it was all around better than being left alone in the hotel with all that room and no one to use it with. It got a bit lame trashing the place when there was no one with him to trash it with.
He was sitting on the couch tuning his new guitar when he heard it. He knew that voice, he lived with that voice every day so he had to know that voice. The boy blanched visibly, for he couldn't remember if Psy had mentioned anything to him about his brother coming to stay and as he stood and walked nervously to the door a single thought occurred to him. His brother who he was apparently supposed to care so much about hadn't even intended on returning back to the hotel to see if he was even still alive.. That single little thought made his heart sink as he opened the door and all he could manage for Joe was a simple, "Hey" before he left the door open and walked off back to the couch again.
