[And Verso sets to helping him! Once it's ready, he summons his shortblade again, the blade hot with chroma-induced warmth. A quick rake against the firewood ensures that it catches flame.

It's not the most traditional way to go about it, but it works.]

Yes, I live wherever makes for the safest camp, if that's what you mean.

[As a vagrant tends to do.]

And... well, the Paintress is more than what one person can usually handle. Every year, I wait for the newest Expedition to make land here. Sometimes I miss them completely. But other times, I try to offer my aid — or otherwise see if they'd be of any help, one way or another.

And other than that? Is there nothing to do?

[ What do you do for fun, Verso? ]

[reverso]

Oh, you mean hobbies.

[Ha. He simultaneously has all the time in the world for those, and yet sometimes the spark of willingness is missing. Such is the reality of living the way he does.]

I might not look it... but I'm an artist and a musician.

[ Oh, the way Nico practically sparkles with delight. (Not a Twilight joke.) ]

Truly? Mon ami! So am I!!

[ DID WE JUST BECOME BEST FRIENDS.GIF ]

[reverso]

[Oh... PERHAPS SO. Verso looks legitimately surprised, not at all put off by Nico's burst of enthusiasm.

He blinks.]

What? Wait... really? Which?

[Artist? Musician??]

[crimsin]

Yes! Both!

[ He reaches out to grasp Verso's hands, once again sturdy but clearly holding back. ]

It is delightful, non? You must tell me! What is your preferred medium? Your favorite instrument? Perhaps we can play together!

[ Says man without an instrument on him. ]
