Nick hadn't expected himself to offer a bargain either, to be honest. Back at home, it usually had been others to do the talking when it came to meeting new people (Nick, being one to not always make good first impressions, usually opts to take the backseat to such things). His vote on those matters typically align with just ignoring strangers entirely, because trust is a difficult thing to come by. He still doesn't even trust Zed with most things, but at least knowing that the supposed "Emperor of Darkness" has a soft spot for someone else indicates that there's something more to this glitter bomb.

Or so he hopes, just so he wouldn't be found eating his own words in the form of blood loss in the next arena.

"S'all I ask. Thanks."

With that said, he holds up his wine for a toast, with the intention of chugging it down to at least forget the fact that this meeting was meant to be a date.
