[He shrugs noncommittally.] I've spoken with people. [He has had conversations with people. He just hasn't had more than one conversation with the same person, besides a very few.] I'm used to it. [He's more used to talking with the dead than living people but that might be a bit creepy to say.
Forced relationships, not so much, but semi-forced is how Nico befriended two people from home, Jason and Will. If not for them pushing him to open up a bit more towards other people, he would possibly still be believing nobody wanted to be his friend because of who and what he was. He's not quite as clammed up as he used to be, but he's not exactly forthcoming about all the gritty details of his life.
And then Nico does what he does when he starts feeling uncomfortable talking about himself, shifting the conversation to something else.]
What about you? Do you have anyone from home there's here too?
