[ but there's no small amount of relief in him to hear that Newt met up with Jason; it means that both of them were alright, and Bianca by extension of Jason, and the worry drains out of him. not completely, not fully, but enough that the tension in his shoulders begin to ease. ]
Does... that mean you met Bianca, if you saw Jason?
Yeah, I did. [ newt sounds a little relieved, too--he was worried about nico, after everything that happened in the bunker. and with the weight in his voice, he can only think that all of his assumptions about bianca di angelo might have been right.
something in him twinges, for the sister he can't remember, and for the di angelos both. ] She's lovely. We kept her safe, if you're worried. They should be coming soon.
[ his voice is a little softer, a little more gentle. ] Seems like a lot of people came in this time 'round. If you need anything, you just let me know, yeah? Anything at all.
[ he stresses it--a person to talk to, help, anything. his affection for both of the di angelo siblings is massive, particularly nico, and newt will take him under his wing for as long as he needs to be sheltered. ]
[ because he knows what happened, vaguely. he knows that Newt died, at least -- remembers the crushing weight in his chest and how his stomach emptied itself. it had been such a visceral reaction that Nico wasn't sure what was happening at first until he felt Newt's light go out.
part of him really just wants to see Newt and Bianca and Jason before other people, to ensure that they're okay before anyone else. but he's sure that Newt has things to take care of -- that they both do. ]
Yeah. [ though newt tries to tamp down on it, there's an obvious, affectionate warmth in his tone, for the person who's appeared. he's not really sure how he can describe alby to anyone who's never met him, who doesn't know him and alby as a dynamic pair, so he just smiles a little crookedly into his phone when he talks and tries to find a good way to explain it. ] Someone I'm real close to.
It's not really that weird--like I told ya before, we did somethin like this real similar a long time ago. The more Gladers that show up, the less I'm surprised 'bout it. [ but, he hadn't really hoped in his wildest dreams that this was what would happen, who would come. ] We're all headin' back to the Homestead right now.
[ because he remembers Teresa, remembers Thomas and Minho as well, and Nico's glad to know that Newt has someone close to him there. well- as glad as one can be, really. given the situation at hand, it wasn't like anyone wanted another person to be there, but a familiar face was always a comfort. ]
Anytime. [ really, he means it; if bianca is important to nico, then she's important to newt. period. he's kind of become attached to the skinny kid in the skull t-shirt--it's more than just like one of his gladers, now. nico reminds newt of himself, in the end, and that's terrifying.
so, he'll be watching out for him, whether he knows about it or not. ] You too, okay? Hopefully things'll calm down proper here now that we had such a bad month.
[ Nico hadn't really thought about the fact that things might calm down now after everything. dying, being alive again, the tower, waking up in the fields. Jason had gone missing and then it turned out he'd been with Bianca, who was alive again.
it felt like too much and all he wanted to do was run for a while, but he couldn't do that with his sister there. so maybe things had calmed down in their surroundings, but it felt like anything but calm everywhere else. ]
