A starlit gaze made of the muted blues of an incoming storm watched the red giant with ease. Deceptive humor hid behind Nico’s inexpressive facade, and he waited with a calm sense of confidence for the man to do something. Anything. At all.
When he ultimately did not, nothing spectacular or Godlike, but instead decided to flee from the challenge with his metaphorical tail tucked between his legs, Nico smiled. It was a faint curl of his lips and a small twitch in the usual tightness of his brows, but nevertheless, he grinned.
The red giant threatened and spewed ominous words, but that wasn’t enough to scare Nico. Not here, not in this valley, not when he was so certain he’d become a different man than the one he was raised to be. In this valley, in this world, Nico would not be scared off by empty threats nor delusional men.
It was only after the towering man had left did Nico return his attention towards the white stranger, a snort following in the quiet space between them. “So much for being a God,” he quipped, “I was kinda hoping for something spectacular to happen.” Oh well.
“Now that we’ve been condemned to a crushing death by some fearsome ‘God’, guess an introduction is due,” The words were said with hidden laughter, “I’m Nico, by the way.”
