Nico smirked. "You didn't," he decided. He was quiet for a moment, thinking about it, and then he said simply, "I understand." Ingrid had been gone for a while, he assumed, and now she was back. Of course he would want to just enjoy things for a while before getting into things that could potentially be hairy. He would have wanted to do the same if it had been Holly who had showed up here though he had a feeling that Lyle would be less receptive to her than he had been to Ingrid.
"I hope you like where I'm taking you," Nico said after a moment, looking out the car window. "I was thinking when I was trying to plan something that perhaps I don't know you very well yet." He glanced over and added, "That's kind of a shame. Especially when you know me so well already." Of course Nico's love for plants was fairly transparent. Where he had taken him was sweet, of course, and he appreciated, but it would be the same as if Nico were taking Lyle to a video game convention. Of course he loved video games. But Nico wanted to dig deeper.
