[Nico chews his lip as he thinks about it. While he wants to go back and check on the state of his home, the specter of his step-mother still frightens him. Besides, he can't reclaim his title. He renounced it the night he left. If Nico's being honest with himself, then he'll have to admit that he doesn't really want to go back. He's happier here without the memories of his family lingering at every corner.

Staying, though, will require him to keep using the donkey skin. He owes it to these people for taking him in to be a quiet, unobtrusive servant, and the skin allows him to be that. Yet...perhaps there's a way to be noticed and remain here, even if that means only being noticeable to Jehan. The enchantment really only works on his physical body, and the nondescript clothes of servants bolster the illusion.

The gears are definitely turning in his head.]

If you could give me a token of your esteem, such as a ring or bracelet of some kind, then...maybe you'll be able to see me sooner than either of us think. I can't really tell you for sure.
