Nick was lost in his own thoughts when he picked up that Gail was actually addressing him. He turned his head, his blue eyes focusing on her and half expecting for an insult but he was surprised.” Um no they arent really more serious then they look but they may slow me down a bit if I don’t watch it when- “ He paused for maybe half a second, wondering if he should really be letting this girl in on his business but what was the point in not? Annabeth was her sister after all and he felt the need to just tell someone.” When I leave on a quest with Annabeth and Percy soon..” He said with a small sigh, he honestly was pretty nervous about the whole thing. What if he let them down? Messing up and getting someone hurt? Or worse killed…When he caught her eyes, he could tell that she was actually sorry that she had hurt him. This fact made a smile threaten to cross his lips.
Just when he asked her about why she was angry he had to keep his voice even, because truthfully he was pissed that she was giving him such a cold shoulder for beating her. Didn’t it count anything for her that the kid who had beaten her was a son of Zeus? It didn’t help much that he often had a really bad temper, just like his father. So sometimes he got angrier then he should, guess he and the daughter of Athena where just two peas in a pod.
When she explained why she was angry though he could sense that being beaten wasn’t just about him just hurting her pride, it was something else.” Well you put up a good fight, you were almost the victor more then once. Heck, even if you want Ill zap anyone who spreads the word of my win.” He said as he raised one and surge of electricity went across his fingers. He wasn’t sure why he was being such a gentleman, but unlike Gail. Nick wasn’t that worried about disgracing his father, he had never met the man and he didn’t really expect to anytime soon.
He placed a hand on top of hers without really thinking about it when she started to apologize again, an attempt at a comforting gesture even if he didn’t really notice he had done it. He waited until she was done before letting out a small chuckle.” Its cute when you babble..” He admitted as he looked into her eyes but then shook his head.” I get your point Gail, don’t worry about it. But I am sorry about that.” He said as he motioned to her leg.” I didn’t mean to put you out so much, I guess I just got caught up in the moment.” He smiled innocently before he finally noticed where his hand was and pulled it away before intertwining its fingers with his other hand.” Sorry…” He said feeling a little embarrassed about that all of a sudden, which he found very annoying. He usually wasn’t one to get nervous around women…
