[ so anyway he's a little unhappy about, like, everything he's just heard but he does have some responsibilities to take care of. it's why he pulls away later and makes his way to the vending machines. he's at least out of the pikachu onesie, dressed in his goth aesthetic once more. black and white sneakers, black jeans, black shirt with at least one skull or skeleton on it, black bomber jacket...it's much better than bright yellow.
he's minding his own business and he seems to be grabbing a package of chips when he notices he's not alone. ]
Two months is too long.

Two months is too long.
[at the moment, there's a little pink cat sitting on top of the vending machines. a familiar one! she watches him buy the chips, and then hops off the top of the machine to land on his shoulder delicately, settling there like she owns the place.]
Any amount is too long when you didn't want to be here in the first place.

[if nico is by the tarkea at any point during the day, he'll find nimona standing with her hands on her hips, looking at a bedroom set. she kicks the leg of a chair experimentally, and then - turns into a cat, hopping up onto it. her claws come out like she's about to dig her cushion, and then.
she pauses, and with a little annoyed mrrrp of a sound flops down on the chair instead.]

[you know when cats slink down and wiggle for like five minutes with the intention of jumping up on something like cabinet or a couch or something and they jump up and just fantastically miss?
nico gets to catch nimona as a pink cat doing this as she tries to jump up onto a counter in the crafting store and just absolutely eats shit.
ow.]

[she's still following after him but in a like... cautious sort of way, like she's not sure if he wants her to or not? but if he seems open to it, she'll bound over to him as a cat and leap up on his shoulder so she can become a cat scarf. for emotional support.
she's not sure what happened like, at all, but hey. she's here.]

[ assigns this as before will finds him ig which means he's heading toward fox dorm. nebulously. he also seems to be kind of wandering without really finding where he wants to go.
he isn't...not open to her being a cat. he stops long enough for her to come jump and drape on him. he seems to be heading into the craft store though, and once there he's just...walking. luck is on the high side today, seeing how he seems to be gravitating toward shiny fake gems and casually slipping them into his pockets every now and then like an afterthought.
they're simply...walking. ]

[ anyway after their penthouse pow wow.
he's just crawling under the bed to hide with her. he doesn't say anything right away, but he will simply vibe under here even though it's pretty obvious he's still angry about today's circumstances. ]
We need to know how many people know about the information we got yesterday.

[this is so valid i love nico for crawling under the bed too. goblins.
she rolls over to lay on her stomach and peers at him. her eyes faintly glow in the dark.]
Yeah. Probably more than we'd think. Info spreads fast, you know? Even without the internet.

[ they're in phoenix dorm and on a couch. will's next to him, asleep, and nico's awake and too painfully aware of this fact.
but there's a little pink cat and she jumps, startling him with a small sound. normally he would just pet her with one hand but since she's carefully settling he's just picking her up with his good hand to hold her closer. he's had a few remedies by now so he's partially healed, but. it's still kind of a mess. ]
...sorry about your sweater.

[ honestly he's probably sitting at the park still and in his wet clothes and looking at the news.
but he instinctively moves to let the wolf comfortably flop on him. pets the ears. kind of bends to also flop on wolf for a weighted blanket circle. ]
...man.

[ imagine if i said no. anyway he's at the penthouse and he has some snacks he brought for her for later, which means he pauses when he sees the scroll? and he carefully moves to nudge it over so it doesn't get squished, fingers brushing over the parchment as he shifts it. ]
[she's a little healed up, by this point. she's not bandaged or anything, but there's still blood everywhere, and purple sludge that never got wiped away. she has long claw marks dragged up her arms and legs, as well as her torso - and in the middle of her chest is that stab wound, where it almost went through her heart. otherwise, she's covered in burns. it doesn't look like fire necessarily did this - it looks more like a burn from light, like something sliced through her. a ring of light being thrown.
she lets him carry her - she hurts too bad to turn into a cat or anything else, so she just stays in her human form. and when he speaks, she blinks at him, expression distant.]
No - no. Don't... you don't have to go anywhere. [holding onto him tightly... she can be on the bed but she is not letting go of him.]

[hi she comes to get him at phoenix dorm
she's got a zuko-style burn across her face, from her forehead to her nose, half-healed and half-scarred, and there are poorly wrapped bandages around her arms and legs. she looks. vaguely ill, like she just wants to lay down forever, but she makes it to the dorm and waits for nico, leaning heavily against the wall.
she's also wearing reigen's jacket. hey bud.]

[ anyway he really hates all of that. everything. he hates everything about this week more than he can stand, honestly, but he walks through the dorm and heads down to meet her.
it's a little hard to see his expression when he's got his hood up and his hands in his pockets, the cocoa puff on his shoulder. but he approaches her and holds an arm out to her. he doesn't clarify if it's for a hug or to hold her up as she needs the support, but the option's there.
hey. life fucking sucks again. ]

[ at the jail...visiting our ace...the two of them are probably with the rest of the group and everyone's split up (someone else is with ace), but it means he's just settled next to her in an exhausted, depressed pile. everything hurts? like literally, his skull feels like it's gonna split open, his stomach's upset, his eyes are basically raisins...today was a disaster. ]
...it wasn't supposed to be like this.
...it wasn't supposed to be like this.
[ anyway at some nebulous point in time, he's going to come to the penthouse. he doesn't even have to really guess if she's there or not. but he shows up and he's carrying something blue and kind of fluffy and when he enters the room he kind of drops the weighted blanket on her before sort of just flopping facedown on the mattress.
hello crippling anxiety and depression, how's it goin'? been a while. did you want to come party with existential dread? cool. ]

[this is so fair
she's in here just curled up like a bug. when he drops it on her she goes wah and flails a bit, but then. she realizes what it is, and turns into a cat. and crawls into it.
after a second a pink paw sneaks out and attaches a claw into his hoodie. come in here.]

[ it's late. of course it is. trial had finished and will and nico left but they both had separated for a little to talk to other people and get things done. that's always been how they are on saturdays.
this is how nico ends up at the beach, and this is how he finds himself approaching nimona before he sort of collapses into a sit on the sand, staring out at the water. ]
...at least we got there in the end.
