Summary
One must watch their words around the Fey. The magical beings from beyond the barrier speak in riddles and half truths and they can covet every little secret they can pry from you. Giving the Fey any indication of your feelings, thoughts or even your true name, gives them power over you.
Nico knows this. His Grandmother taught him to protect himself from the wily creatures: he lays his wards, keeps himself to himself, and is in complete control. His acquaintance with the charming, amusing, (infuriatingly beautiful) Fey guard Yusuf is just that, an acquaintance. Sure, they have grown close over the years but Nico has always kept his professional distance, the incident at last midwinter notwithstanding.
And he will continue to do so. Even if Yusuf turns up at his house, late one night, in desperate need of Nico's help.
