Nico di Angelo passed out.

There's really no better way to explain it.

He came back from the forest and just passed out in front of us.

It was probably embarrassing for the poor guy, but I don't think anyone cared about that.

Most of us cared more about his health.

I think.

We dragged him to the infirmary and placed him in one of the beds.

After about 15 minutes or so, Nico's eyes fluttered open. "ACK!"

"Shush," I said, bustling around to find some ambrosia. "There are sleeping patients here."

"Solace," he said, acknowledging my presence. "What am I doing here?"

"Over exertion," I said simply, finding a couple of pieces of ambrosia in a ziploc baggie. "You shadow-travel too much. It's not good for your health. Take some ambrosia." I gave him a piece and our fingers bumped against each other. I had never felt a more cold touch then that.

Nico took the ambrosia and took a small bite out of it. 

"Did you find him?" I asked, sealing the ziploc baggie.

"Who?"

"Leo, of course!" I sighed. "That's who you were looking for."

"No," said Nico, scratching his nose absentmindedly. "He was nowhere. I even went to Camp Jupiter. No sign of him."

I sat down on a chair close to Nico's bed. "So I'm assuming we're not gonna go looking for him again?"

"Nope."

"That idiot," I sighed. "He sends us a message telling us that he's alive but doesn't tell us where he's alive? When he's coming back?"

I muttered a couple of obscene things about Leo Valdez under my breath.

"I heard that," Nico said loudly. 

"Duh," I said. "I said it out loud. Why wouldn't you hear it?"

Nico glared at me.

I checked my watch. "Alright, well, it's dinnertime. You aren't coming, though. Doctor's orders. Stay here. I'll grab you some dinner."

"Not hungry."

"Death Boy, you aren't dying on my watch," I sighed. "You have to eat. You're as weak as a stick right now."

"I said-"

"You're clearly over-exerted," I fussed. "And I don't trust you enough to let you stay here alone. I'll ask Kayla to grab me something for dinner. I'm staying here."

Nico didn't look very happy, but he didn't protest.

...

Ok, so maybe he did protest, but he just...

Um...

Did it in Italian.

"Odio la mia vita, cazzo," he grumbled quietly, perhaps thinking I wouldn't understand.

Unfortunately, I had taken enough foreign language classes in middle school to know exactly what that meant.

"Nico!" I scolded. "There are children here!"

"Children who don't speak Italian."

"I speak Italian."

"Are you a child?"

"Seeing as I'm under 18, yes," I agreed. "I'm legally a child. You are too, Death Boy."

"Stop calling me that!"

"Stop being such a Debbie Downer!"

"Stop being so optimistic! It's annoying!"

"STOP BICKERING!" shrieked a voice from the other end of the infirmary. "WE'RE TRYING TO SLEEP!"

"Sorry, Malcolm," I said loudly. "There you go, you've woken up the whole infirmary."

"You were arguing too!" retorted Nico.

"I'm done with this," I grumbled and walked off to check on the other patients.

Zeus: SEE HERA?

Zeus: EVEN ATHENA THINKS SO-
