Nico. [she says, after a second, thinking about all of that, trying to wrestle her thoughts into place. try. try hard, she thinks to herself.] Do you trust me?
[ well. he's stupid and thinks she's doing it for her own comfort so there are more scritches. but he does raise an eyebrow and give her a slightly surprised look. ]
That's a dumb question. [ bluntly. but then, softer: ] Of course I do. I trust you more than most of the people here.
[she is like, a little flustered at how easy he says it. it takes her a second to say what she means to.]
Okay. Then - remember you can talk to me whenever. [don't let this stuff build up!! he's talking about it now, she just hates to think that he's suffering quietly.] I'm not good at this, ugh.
[kneads at him again]
Don't do all this stuff on your own, you don't have to. Is what I'm saying. I'm here for a reason.
[ she's just a little cat and somehow this makes him grin even if it's just kind of uneven and mostly because he thinks she's cute as a cat. ]
You're doing fine, Nimona. You're here because I want you to be. If I didn't...you wouldn't be able to find me. [ simply put. he's good at disappearing when he wants to. ] People keep saying that, and I know they're right because it's what I keep telling other people, but I guess I'm still trying to learn what is and isn't okay to trust other people with. If that makes sense. Like making sure something won't be too much for them, and trying to balance things out.
[ ... ]
...it's something Reigen and I talked about a lot. [ because in the end he trusted reigen far more than he ever anticipated, just because he made it feel like things would really be okay no matter what nico told him. ]
[that's concerning, because she doesn't want him to disappear either, but - it's fine, she just curls closer.]
Well, you're better than me at figuring it out. [grumbles.] ... You and Reigen talked a lot about balancing stuff?
[it's the same with her, honestly. reigen was full of shit a lot of the time, but he really had a way of talking her down from things. she figures it's the same for nico.]
[ as always, nimona can do whatever she wants and he does nothing to stop her. ]
I'm better at pretending I've figured stuff out. [ a gentle correction. ] Reigen and I talked about a lot of stuff. But yeah. Balancing things and my powers and my past and...a lot of things I'm still working through and probably will be for a long time. It's kind of funny because I told Ace once that I wasn't sure I could talk to Reigen because he felt almost too normal to bother with things, but I think he understood better than a lot of people instead.
