[If he's surprised by Nico pulling the nectar out and downing it, he doesn't show it. Actually he just kicks his shin lightly again with a small smile on his face, not entirely sure what was just said. He learned enough Ancient Greek to get by writing the book. He hasn't quite started tackling Italian yet. (Though…perhaps he should.)
Either way, he's about to ask Nico what the hell that even meant and tease him about being less of a zombie when he feels the presence more than sees it. Likewise, he hadn't expected to come across Jason here of all places and he suddenly sits up a little taller in his chair, all signs of amusement wiped from his face.
Truth be told, he's a little scared of the confrontation. Usually he's not afraid of something like this, but it's Jason. This is…this the guy he'd been trying to track on and off for months. This is the one he'd told Nico about, the one he'd gone to Redgate to talk to Loki about…the one who kept trying to protect his stupid ass and the one that he's still sort of frustrated with, too. It's a mixbag of emotions and not all of them are good. There's a deep breath and he's locking his own jaw as he tilts his head up.
Act defiant, and perhaps this will go smoother.]
Look at that. Still alive after three whole months. Are you surprised, Jason? The goddamn stupid kid managed to do it. [He's hardly concerned about himself. He falsely believes he can handle Jason. It's Nico he's concerned with. Nico who's a Seelie. Nico who Jason already doesn't like on principle. Nico…who's still sitting right there.
Shit.]
If you hadn't broken your knife, you'd know exactly where we've been and what Morla would think about all of this.
[Totally bluffing, but he has to. He was anticipating this fight in a way and despite what he felt and the messages he'd left Jason? The fact that the anger's there is enough to heighten his own anger.]
