[In Hiro's world, "smartass" is actually a compliment sometimes. And he knows that Nico's personality is aligned enough with his to let the words roll off his back, too. There's a huff of laughter from the crook of his arms upon hearing those words though.]
Yet. [Totally implied.] And it wouldn't have, no. Damage was already done. I appreciate it…but he's not exactly wrong either. That's the other reason I'm apologizing.
[That and, of course, Nico's reaction to Jason's other insult. The flinch doesn't go unnoticed but only because he's rarely seen Nico have that sort of a reaction to…well, anything. He's a demigod, first of all. He's tough. Durable. Resilient.
Of course, he can only guess why that'd be a problem.]
And sorry about the other thing, too. Jason's kind of a giant jerk when he really feels like it. Besides, you and I both know you're not even into guys so…[Shrug.] Let him think what he wants. He'll get over it.
