The Old Guard: Yusuf & Nicolò & Nile
When she wants to know about their past, Nile's found it's better to approach Joe and Nicky separately. Less chance those nostalgic smiles that lead to… well, Nile doesn't want to think about what they lead to. How can two thousand-year-olds be as horny as teenagers?
But at least she's heard their backstory--even if it seems like two very different stories. Nicky's was a labyrinthine tale of guilt at what he'd done and shame for his feelings for Joe. For Joe--well, as he put it, "Falling in love with Nicolò was as easy as taking a single step."
