Notes: CW: the briefest mention of malnutrition
[ A teenaged boy is standing in front of the Diadem Hotel. He's wearing black skinny jeans that only have one hole in them, and a black t-shirt with a graphic of skeletal pegasus. The bomber jacket that he's insisting on wearing despite the heat covers up some of the words, and so the shirt reads P HALFBL above the image and BIN 1 below.
Nico is pale, and while there's a sheen to his skin, it's not summer sweat. He looks... clammy. His eyes are deep set and dark lashed, but the darkness around them is more than that. If it's eyeshadow, you need to know his brand because it's holding up great for July. But it looks genuine - lack of sleep, not enough iron, teenaged growth spurts. Whatever it is, he looks like a Hallmark movie about fans of the Cure.
Except for the annoyed expression. That's not very Hallmark.
The Diadem Hotel sign can be scene in the background over his shoulder. Nico is standing in the middle of the drop-off zone. ]
I don't care what the guilds say - I'm not staying in another magic hotel. I' I tried to go home, it's not there. I tried to go back to camp - it's not there.
[ He's gesticulating as he talks and doesn't always remember to limit it to the hand that isn't holding the camera. Enjoy the free motion sickness. It makes harder to see how Nico himself is swaying a little. ]
And I can't leave or - what? The hordes of heroes are gonna find me and put me in foster care if I don't find somebody to be a foster parent? Foster care with one of their heroes that I don't even know? Then I have to go to some school in the sky in a couple of weeks?
How do you find a foster home? Like one that don't care where you are because you're fine.

Catch Stephen Strange trying to disguise a sigh as an ordinary breath out. What is it with this kid and Hecate? ]
Good for you. That wasn't actually an answer to my question.
[ Not that it's incredibly important, all things considered. In fact, it's background enough that he's letting it go for now, instead dipping into a paper bag hanging off his wrist and fishing out a bottle of water and a banana, both of which he hands to Nico. ]
Here. Eat.

I didn't conjure it. If it was conjured, the bones wouldn't still be there.
[ They're sort of beyond him saying that it wasn't him. Again, Nico is just assuming that either this man is also a Greco-Roman demigod or whatever a "metahuman" is meant to be.
So, forgive him if he looks a little suspicious at the banana and water. You know what they say about Greeks bearing gifts. Bananas don't have the rep that apples do, though. Apples are trouble. And Nico really is hungry.
He takes the offerings. ]
This isn't going to turn me into a kiwi bush, is it? Trap me in this world forever?
no subject
No, kid. It's not going to do anything but rehydrate you and up your blood sugar.

He tears into the banana and chomps off a quarter of it. ]
Why are you being so nice? Are you one of those people who hunts down kids that aren’t in school and makes them go?
[ He means a truant officer. Nico has a very dated outlook and only some segments of it have been updated for the 21st century. ]
I better not wake up in an orphanage.
