[ really, it's a wonder hinata has managed to go on for as long as he already has. it's been a harrowing couple of days for everyone, but for hinata especially, considering all that he's done (while still probably convinced he hadn't done a thing). and while nic isn't privy to what went on during his black box, he can surmise from tess' reaction that it hadn't been a walk in the park, either.
then again, nic can't say he's all that surprised. the boy had always been surprisingly resilient. maybe they were all wrong to worry so much, after all. ]
it WOn, [ nic replies dully. ] doEsn'T MaTtEr iF iT KNOws.
[ his head hangs heavy, much like the rest of his tired limbs, but he doesn't tip it back against the shelf like he wants to. he wouldn't be able to read his cuff if he did. ]

[ even if tsuna had asked, nic wouldn't have said anything. nevermind the man is actually quite hungry, he's still going to be pretty difficult about all this. because why are you even here, tsuna. why do you care?? ]

[ nic stops mid-step the moment the boy is suddenly ALL UP IN HIS GRILL... he blinks a few times, looking genuinely surprised by your sudden presence, zuko. gj you managed to sneak up on a deaf man. (it's surprisingly difficult, sometimes, okay!)
but what are you even saying, zuko, that ain't english.unless it is, and i'm dumb. nic glances down at his wrist, briefly reading the words before he waves a mangled hand in the air, getting some frosting on the floor in the process. ]

you could shower me with all the money in the world and my answer would still be the same: i am going to see how you are doing.
FROM: akame@cdc.org
so i'll be seeing you soon. find a good hiding spot if you want to give me a challenge.

......fair enough, nic.
[Once she shoots him this message, she closes her eyes and counts to ten, while still in her room, just to give him a headstart. It's only fair; she pestered him, he gets to have fun at her expense.
Well, it's sort of fair at best.
Upon finishing up the count, however, she quickly dashes out of her room and starts quietly, but resolutely prowling through the hall, eyes hard and alert, carefully scanning her surroundings, straining her ears for the sound of footsteps or thumping that indicates some kind of movement.
She's still taking things too seriously (never had the time to really play, not even as a child.), but she understands the gist of this. It's like stalking an assassination mark----but this time, she's only looking to help him. Because, really, after learning about the Celebre that keeps him alive, she truly is concerned about him.
(Isn't there another way...?)
A pleasant sort of inverse, if you will.]
