[ in nico's estimation, there are two types of moms. those who care about everyone, like sally jackson or his mother, and those who care only about themselves. he isn't sure where letha fits into that given she left winter with ivar. it makes him wonder how much she actually cares, but he's doing his best not to judge given he doesn't know all the details. but one thing's for sure, he isn't fond of being told what to do. ]

I doubt my opinion would account for much on that front. I don't doubt you care for her, but... why did you leave?

[ he thinks of bianca and how she'd left him to join the hunters of artemis. he'd been hurt by that, and he wonders if ivar feels the same way. ]

I mean- You must've had a good reason.
