He washed the night off of him and rinsed absorbing 2/3 of the water into his body.  It was refreshing to him.  He would get this crap over with then go swimming.  He found he was looking forward to the party…a little bit.  Another part of him wondered would he even go.  He had been here long enough to know a few people seems others found their way to find someone to be with.  He wondered if Apollo would finally find someone today.  The sun godling was amusing.  He had the power to charm the birds from the trees but he couldn’t find a date to save his life.  It made Nick chuckle, for all of his game that he spat no one fell for his lines.  And here Nick couldn’t talk cause he hadn’t had a date in…he didn’t want to think back that far.  Which meant it had been too long!<br/><br/>But he could barely talk above a whisper without hurting someone so he really was the strong silent type.  Which didn’t seem to go over too well, with this group of women.  He shrugged and got dressed.  He wasn’t going out in his Sunday best because he didn’t have anyone to impress.  He was clean and pressed in his crisp ironed jeans, his boots where shining, he put his clothes on and headed out.  He only waved to those gathered there.  But didn’t say anything.<br/><br/>He looked over at Apollo doing his best not to laugh as it seems Apollo’s charms didn’t work on the new woman either that seemed a bit more smitten with Phoenix than with him.  He wanted to laugh and it was that funny to Nick, but not funny enough to hurt anyone with how tickled he was.  But a smile played over his face as he waved to Mack after hearing that she was going to be conducting the cleansing ceremony…he would be willing to help but he wasn’t in a hurry to go.  It would be a bit but everyone would get a chance to go give their gifts and make their visit.  It was then that he tapped his shirt pocket, as he was truly ready for his gift today.<br/><br/>
