[A VERY FLUSTERED MOMENT OF SILENCE!!!! Before he realizes she's being sarcastic. LISTEN.]
Ha ha. [Thank the gods it's just audio, and he can pretend he was very Cool and Nonchalant that whole time.] If you don't have any ideas you can just say that. [He means please help, honest!]
[Nico's knowledge of technology is super patchy and weird, and mostly videogame related honestly, but he's pretty confident he can guess what an audiobook is based on the very on-the-nose name. But if the library here had those, he hadn't recognized them.
He wrinkles his nose either way.] I mean, but it can't just be a book. She gave me greek fire. [So he can't just show up with something lame, Ms Book Nerd, or they won't be even!! Obviously!!!]
(nico you need to stop being so easy to wind up or you're never going to survive in this household)
Um... (that's a good point. abby's seen them before back home in cassette or cd form so:) Music store? Book store? (they're the best of both worlds, after all.)
Well, you can get her other things– wait.
She gave you Greek fire? (clarisse what the hell!) When!
Uh... Christmas? [Abby seems so uninterested in all of the other Myth stuff he's talked about so he's squinting suspiciously at his Fluid for a second here.] Why?
She's such an asshole. (that's her greek fire................ she should have it......... she just wants to throw it at something and watch it explode real good and clarisse won't let her do it and she's FED UP)
... Right. [If he sounds disgruntled it's because insulting Clarisse his job. Get your own thing, Abby!
Either way he considers trying to unpack any of that and decides he'd rather not venture into the weeds with Abby because they're both too prickly to get anywhere, and pizza just feels like an even worse gift than a book (audiobook, whatever), somehow. Sarcastically:] Well, thanks for the help. [USELESS, ABBY!!!]
also abby cannot believe that nico can't deal with like, a second of off-topic weirdness in a single conversation....... zero patience. he's so different to lev.)
Okay okay, calm down. (some real help for ya:) Just get her a cool weapon, kid. She really liked my flamethrower when she got to try it out, you could get one from the sinkhole.

Okay, okay.
She likes stories, but she doesn't like reading. Could get her an audiobook or two.

Where do you find an audiobook?
