[So after this quickly escalated on the 16th of February, Nico has decided that he's in a better frame of mind, and heart, to at least apologize to the camp. He is not going to apologize to Percy, and honestly still doesn't want to see him. The son of Hades is currently in the forest, looking a little uncomfortable.]

Ah...so, about last Sunday...I'm pretty sure that you guys may have noticed a small earthquake happened.

[Why does apologizing have to be so hard?]

That was my and Percy's fault. We had a little...disagreement.

["Disagreement" he says. His eyes betray that he means "heated argument."]

For those who don't know or might not realize this, this kind of thing happens when two children of the Big Three have strong disagreements between each other. You get a natural disaster, and luckily this one was small enough to not cause any damage that I'm aware of. Before you guys even think about it, don't try to get all three sets of children into an argument.

[Nico sighs.]

Anyway...since half of it was my fault, I wanted to...apologize for the incident. And for any fear or damage caused by it.

[He can't promise that it won't happen again, since that's an impossible promise to keep, but...well.]

[Nico nods.]

That's why Annabeth is the real leader. People will follow Percy to the ends of the earth, but Annabeth is the one people will go to when there's a plan to be made. Or a sacrifice.

What he probably needs to be reminded of, is that his death would probably break the spirits of the Greeks and kill any shot of them surviving this war.

He's got that impact on people. You know, for a Greek.

[deathdiduspart]

Yeah, I told him that, but I don't think he believes me. [He pauses.] Though that might have been because at the time we were yelling about it.

[notworthless]

Yeah, nobody listens to me when I'm yelling.

Also, people never see their own worth the way those around them do. They take themselves for granted.

[deathdiduspart]

[He's quiet, thinking about what Hazel had told him when she first arrived.]

I think you're right about that. I certainly don't see it for myself, but...I know some do.

[notworthless]

Pretty sure your siblings don't take you for granted the same way you do.

*Unlike her family situation.*

[deathdiduspart]

Mm.

[He looks a little uncomfortable with that. Maybe they don't, but Nico isn't sure that one of them will want to be related to him.]

[notworthless]

Now what? Don't tell me one of your siblings hates you as much as mine hate me?

*Because Callie is fairly sure, compared to Dave, Hazel and Derek are not bullheadedly arrogant enough to be so sure of Nico's motivations.*

[deathdiduspart]

I...don't know.

[And it hurts to admit that.]

It...depends.

[notworthless]

Depends on what, because you and your siblings would have to work very hard to reach how much Dave and I don't talk to each other.
