[It takes Nick a little while to figure out what's going on, because it didn't actually change much about him.
But once he does, it's not long before he's out of his room and going next door to Monroe's. If everyone here is human, then it's probably affecting Monroe, and Nick needs to be there.
He knocks on the door, not bothering to say who it is at first, because he's used to Monroe knowing. And then it occurs to him that Monroe might not be able to smell him.]
Open up, Monroe, it's me.

Nick is welcome to interrupt. Monroe would welcome it. Especially if he interrupted with a change in topic. That would be awesome just saying.
Actually that was probably the best thing to say right then. Monroe breaths a sigh of relief.]
Yeah, I know man.
[Monroe tries to hide his surprise when Nick casually mentions them being like family. Nick has no clue about anything.]
Alright. Yeah. And look nothing is going to get out of hand.
no subject
But hey, at least he did something right, there.]
Then we're good.
[Or maybe not, since Nick can pick up on that surprise. What'd he say that warranted that? ...yeah, Nick doesn't really have a clue about much, here.]
Get out of hand?
no subject
Yeah dude we're totally good.
[Shit! He knew he'd say something wrong!]
No, nothings going to get out of hand.
[Yup, he's pretending like he didn't understand. It's nothing to worry about Nick.]
no subject
He gives Monroe's shoulder a squeeze at that, smiling at him.
But it turns into a look of confusion, along with a slightly raised brow, because really, Monroe's going to go the route of not understanding?]
But there'd be something that could get out of hand?
no subject
Shut up. This is awkward dude. But thanks for the shoulder grab thing.]
Well if you got attacked or something. I'd have to get involved. But that probably would happen anyway.
no subject
Yeah, all right, it is a little awkward. If only because Monroe is awkward about it. But he's still not moving his hand.]
Oh.
[Nick considers that, remembering Monroe's level of involvement when protecting Aunt Marie, his anger at Nick and Holly being threatened by the hunters, concern over Nick going to face Adalind alone, reaction to Waltz threatening Nick and Rosalie. He shrugs a bit.]
Not exactly unexpected, man. It's not like I don't get involved when you get attacked, or otherwise put in danger.
no subject
Good. Monroe likes it where it is.
Phew. Nick's shrugs means it's alright.]
Exactly. So we're good?
no subject
He does have to let go at some point. But not yet. Nick smiles at that.]
Always, man.
[Okay, that's enough serious talk for the night.]
Let's see what we're going to do about dinner.
