(Will expects many things from Nico di Angelo but to be hugged by the Ghost King himself? Yeah, not so much. Will's so stunned by the change in events that for a moment, he does absolutely nothing but gape over Nico's head and out into the jungle.
There's a bit of red in the tips of his ears and he's trying really, really hard to ignore that.
His arms slide up and clamp down around Nico to make this a fully satisfying hug and yeah wow this is maybe the best day ever? It's up there. Reeeeeally high up there. Focus Will.)
Hey, it's okay. Believe it or not, I'm fully capable of handling myself. I was trained as a demigod too, you know. Monsters aren't really new to me.
(He lightly strokes his hand over the middle of Nico's back before giving the smaller kid a full-bodied squeeze.)
Gotta say I prefer this sort of greeting a lot more than a punch to the face. Anyone ever tell you that for a cold little Hot Topic poster child that you give some rockin' hugs?
