its well established that will is naturally introverted, forced to be an extrovert, while nico is naturally an extrovert, forced to be an introvert. how fucking exhausting must that be? how the hell do they keep up with it all the time? hell, im an ambivert, 50/50, and i still get royally pissed when i have too much of one or the other-- how would they deal if they were on the opposite ends of the spectrum?

i love the idea that sometimes they just have little moments, alone in the hades cabin together. nico talks about anything and everything he can think of, free of judgement or fear of how people will see him. will gets to listen, free of the expectation to respond or to respond correctly or deal with all of the bullshit social intricacies hes always broken his back to meet. they both get to take off their masks, take down their walls, and have a moment of rest as their fundamental selves.
