[Nico doesn’t spend a lot of time looking in mirrors. That might be obvious by the way his hair is usually an unbrushed mess. He only sparingly glares at himself when he brushes his teeth in the morning. This morning is an exception. The him looking back appears heavier – his cheeks are round, the bags under his eyes are gone. His skin isn’t sickly and green tinged and leached of its color like his father’s – like it become after the Labyrinth and Tartarus and the jar. It’s a healthy olive complexion, like it had been when he was small. Everything about him looks healthy. Even his hair, curling in every direction. When the fuck did this happen?!

He’s in a bit of a daze as he wonders out of the apartment to find breakfast and go to work at the store. He might also be caught walking boxes from Sector 2 to his store in Sector 3 (over and over again). He might like some help with that, actually …Occasionally he’ll stop to gape at his reflection in windows and mirrors. Just … what?]

	What I can afford out in the black. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	But you can have whatever you want here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Mal nods.] And sometimes I take it. But old habits die hard. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Nico hums some kind of agreement. He gets it, but his experience is still limited.] I heard your not-girlfriend came back. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Inara? [He smiles slightly, thinking of how that day with the kissing bots went.] Yes, she's back. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2015-03-15 08:26 pm UTC (link)
	Are you happy? [Sees that smile.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's nice to have someone from my crew back. [Translated: Yes. Yes I'm happy.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2015-03-16 05:15 pm UTC (link)
	Must be. [It comes out more hollow than he intends. It's been five days since he last spoke to Percy, and he's had to accept that the other demigod is gone, again.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What about you? Anyone from your universe here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2015-03-18 06:12 pm UTC (link)
	No. Not anymore. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2015-03-18 10:42 pm UTC (link)
	I'm sorry. They're good at takin' them from us. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2015-03-19 05:28 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah. It's fine... It's not like we were friends or anything... [Though it felt like they were headed that direction, maybe. Until the kiss bots made everything enormously awkward.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2015-03-20 12:05 am UTC (link)
	[Except it's obviously not fine.] Sometimes it's just comforting to have someone you know. Not that I'd be particularly happy if Saffron showed up... or Badger... but it'd be someone from home. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2015-03-22 08:57 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah. Maybe. [He can't think of anyone - except Hazel - who would be a comfort here. No one else liked him. He still couldn't figure out why Percy felt a need to talk about things and be there. Pity? Guilt?] He's gone and come back before. It could happen again, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2015-03-22 09:02 pm UTC (link)
	[Mal nods.] Course it can. It did for Inara. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2015-03-24 12:09 am UTC (link)
	Right. Or someone else from my world. But that would be terribly, wouldn't it? I shouldn't want that. [He shouldn't even want Percy back, except now he knows he's just laying in some pod somewhere.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cptn_tightpants 2015-03-25 01:49 am UTC (link)
	[Mal nods.] I tell myself that every day. She sure don't deserve to be here... But I like havin' here anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent)
