Nico couldn’t handle it anymore. He burst
out laughing, which hurt his cheeks because
he wasn’t used to making such an expression.
Obviously whomever he bought the deck from
had scammed him. Nico then wondered how 
much Jason had paid for the cards. Usually they
went for about a dollar or less, so Nico didn’t 
really expect anything higher. 

           ’  Was it supposed to be that one pack 
                  good for attacks midair? That seems 
                      like the kind of pack you’d buy, Jason.  ’

He was still chuckling after he had said it.
It was a funny mistake to him. Nico was 
sure, however, he would be the object of 
derision. 

           A small blush, caused mostly from the embarrassment, spread across his cheeks. It was one thing for Nico to think of him as an idiot, but to laugh at him…well that was embarrassing. After all how often did Nico actually laugh? Not enough in Jason’s opinion, but right this second he could have lived with the son of Hades keeping to his usual demeanor.

            “Yeah. I figured it would be more ‘typical Jason’, but it’s what I know. I mean water packs are cool and all, but at least with air attacks I can use more of a logical approach and use things that would actually work on a real battle field.” But what the blonde failed to realize was that in games that wasn’t always the case.
