[ Nico shrugs but it's unclear if the action is because he's shaking off the touch now that the other's hand falls away or if it's in answer to Sasuke's words about his safety.
Truthfully, there always seems to be something happening back home. Already he's survived two wars at the age of fifteen (granted they were very localized wars and didn't last very long) and not to mention the huge world war early in life - though he hadn't fought in that one. ]
Here or home - don't see much of a difference in the level of safety. I know the limits of using that ability and I know the consequences - both something I've experienced before.
[ His eyes close and the expression on his face is something like acceptance. ] People die, sacrifices are made and that's just how things have to be. That's just life.
[ Not a pleasant part of life and one he isn't always willing to accept but as a child of Hades, something he has to from time to time. It's true that Nico has a whole set of unusual skills, most of which tend to scare people away because who wants a kid around who can sense death or raise undead armies?
Once upon a time, he'd been angry and had a goal that he wanted to achieve against all odds. A goal Nico thought he'd stop at nothing to accomplish when all he was doing was hurting himself and the few he cared about.
With the answer he nods in satisfaction, mostly because the backlash of getting Nico's feelings - the pain he's suffered isn't something anyone else should have to carry. ]
Probably better if you don't, someone who specializes in inflicting pain and misery once said there was nothing more she could do to me - that I was perfect already.
