Golden Glade welcome to hell

Nico wasn't blind, he could tell that despite her words, Aspen didn't really believe him and truthfully? He understood. If he was being honest, he was a pretty good actor, but even so, his act wasn't really believable given that he had appeared to.....well, almost die. Nevertheless, the soldier simply offered her a simple smile and a nod, "Got it," he said, giving her a small soldierly salute and yet another one of his small smiles. His eyes were shadowed when he met her gaze for a moment before quickly looking away.

"Just this and that," Nico answered vaguely, "mostly, I've just been by the borders patrolling, or out exploring the surroundings. I've decided to become a Scout as a trade, in addition to being a mercenary so...yeah." He cocked his head, eyeing her curiously as she placed her two front paws in the water.
