“In my family, probably not much.” Nicholas breathed without much sarcasm in response to Charity's open ended musing as to how one could end up cursed by a sibling. Very easily, really. Didn't she know the pure rage of sibling rivalry?
Nic was quite aware of the rush Charity had been in to assist him when he stood up. She was right to back off. It would have bruised his already battered pride. As it stood, he had already accepted too much help from her in his estimation. He did his best to hide how weak he really felt putting on his usual haughty expression.
“My parents have enough to worry about.” He dismissed of her suggestion to inform them. Indeed, his parents seemed to play a cosmic game of whack-a-mole. As soon as one problem was solved, yet another always cropped up. Nic didn't want to tell his parents for other reasons. Namely, he did not want to gey into a discussion with his mother about his use of magic, his arrogance, his carelessness. He could hear her now. And his father's chorus of “mhmm” to his mother's lecture.
No, he didn't really want to tell them at all.
Nic had picked up on her bit of offense but chose to ignore it. He wasn't ordering her around. She could very well refuse if she didn't want to take him.
“You can stay at my place then. It's late. No point in driving back across town. I have a guest suite. I make pretty good french toast.” He crossed the room, carefully stepping over the ashes, to retrieve his bag. He wasn't sure why he was going to lengths to convince her that staying with him wouldn't be so bad. He didn't know if they could get along for any period of time without ending up dueling or something.
He rejoined Charity, coming to a stop next to her. He gestured with his hand for her to lead. “Let’s get out of here.” He agreed. The place was creepy. It grated on his already shot nerves. He was already doing his best to keep it together after a near death experience
