Firefly Glen A new phase of life.

The corner of his lip quirked upwards in an amused grin at her words and the scowl that adorned her features. "I'm not pitying you," he drawled dryly, a gleam of amusement playing gently in his green eyes. "I know how it feels," he looked at her curiously as a flicker of unfathomable emotion flitted quickly over his gaze. Nico smiled and bowed his head, silently collecting his thoughts and emotions, before lifting his eyes once more, the half smile lingering on his lips growing into one of more charming crooked smirks.

He raised an eyebrow at her words and he let out a low chuckle, "I don't doubt that you can," he told her, "but keep in mind that if I wanted to, I could just as easily kill you," his tone was serious but with a hint of playfulness beneath. While Nico was pretty much telling the truth, he didn't want to lose the chance to interact with this young girl that he knew next to nothing about, but very much wanted to help. Blame his poor, kind soul.

"I suppose so," he said with an inquisitive look in his eyes. She was more than she appeared to be, the soldier would give her that. However, what Nico was not expecting was for her to give him her life story. With slightly raised eyebrows, he listened to what she had to say, his brows furrowing just a tad bit as she ended it with how the 'light world' was different. "The light world," he repeated almost thoughtfully, a sad smile forming. "Yes, it's a strange world. Not one who is accustomed to the dark can easily fit into."
