[Livio has to admit to himself that he doesn't know Nick as well as he would like to believe. They're not kids anymore, and "work" forced them to be people they're not. At least, he hopes that's the case for Nicholas... and after everything he did to save Livio from himself, well... he's fairly confident, actually, that Nick isn't really a coldblooded killer at his core.
In a lot of ways, he is still the same. He cares too much about people who don't deserve him, underneath all that grumpiness. Only, in the time since Hopeland, simple grumpiness has grown into walls colder and higher than Liv thought possible. He could have easily imagined Wolfwood taking the entirety of the Grove under his wing, with a groan, but gently nonetheless.
As it stands, Livio isn't sure whether to believe Nick means what he says, or who it's even concerning.]
