[ 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.

[ as usual, he allows this to happen, carefully bending to retrieve the chips without jostling her. ]
You raise a good point. It sounds like even the leaders didn't want to be here originally which...doesn't bode well for us.
[ also since she's on his shoulder, she may notice in the dark depths of his hood there are two white glowing eyes staring at her. hi. ]

[ there's a weird, thin, and wispy leg that paws right back at her with its clawsies exposed. it's not quite attacking, but it's making itself known that this is its hood.
nico, meanwhile, is using both hands to try and separate them. ]
Hey, hey, stop. What are you two doing up there?
[ the hood wiggles, and a shadow-y creature moves enough to sit up and stare at nimona with an inquisitive chirp. ]

[SCREAMS LOOK AT IT!!!!! that's me. not nimona. i love this little creacher.
nimona makes a hissy cat noise, but allows nico to separate the two of them. her fur stands up on end, until the little guy crawls out and chirps at her.
... offers her paw in a handshake. yeah, ok.]
I'm just looking, jeeze. Where did they come from?

[ you know what that's fair. the creature isn't, like, entirely sure what to do? so it raises one of its weird little legs to mimic her without quite shaking her paw. it's a baby, it doesn't know shit about fuck. nico, meanwhile, is being still to make sure nobody falls off of him. ]
They were in my room when I woke up the other day. I was a little surprised to see them here by themselves.

Sure, if you want to see it that way. [ the thing about it is, he has a focus. and it's obvious to him that trying to explain it to a stranger isn't going to do him any good. or maybe that's just nico himself deciding explaining won't work. ]
Maybe it does. But I have things I have to take care of here no matter what happens. That's all.

[i'm gonna be honest she forgot she was a cat. she spends so much time in random forms that she forgets that other people percieve her as the animals she changes into.
there's a pause, and she hops off his shoulder, stretching out in a biiiiig kitty stretch.
and then she schwoops into her human form.]
Nah. [not a cat!]

[ look he read her profile by now he was Aware it was not just a cat. but he watches her stretch and morph and when she's a person-shape again he doesn't seem too bothered. ]
Shapeshifter then. [ ... ] I guess it's not common where you're from? [ if. people want to kill her. ]

[ he isn't sure how much she wants to discuss it, but...he can kind of understand the sentiment.
"there’s a reason they didn’t put a cabin to hades here, percy. he’s not welcome, any more than he is on olympus. i don’t belong. i have to go.”
"i don't have friends! i left camp half-blood because i don’t belong! i’ll never belong!"
"i'm the son of hades. i might as well be covered in blood or sewage, the way people treat me. i don’t belong anywhere. i’m not even from this century. but even that’s not enough to set me apart. i’ve got to be – to be –"
"it’s none of your business, but i don’t belong. that’s obvious. no one wants me."
his thoughts seem to come to a screeching halt and he shakes his head a little to clear them. right. no more memories. this isn't about that. things are better. he has a place to belong now.
but he's always fairly aware of the people who don't. and the people who get forgotten. he's not quite sure what it is that possesses him to say this, and he doesn't really think it'll help, but he does find himself talking again shortly after. ]
There aren't really people like me either. But my sister's boyfriend...he can change his appearance like you can. There's no one like him either where we're from. [ he tilts his head. ] It's a weird feeling.
