Oh...? Er, yeah that made... enough sense. So it was more the Yami sort of mind share thing? Who was a huge nerd? You were a huge nerd. Nik did have to wonder what longterm effects that would have on Luke's mind but... yeah.
That last question caught Nik more off guard than it probably should have. "Er..." Huh. Did he? Did he even know? "Not... like specifically, but.. If Nilly wants someone else to talk to? Like... I'm fine either way but if it--? they?" Nik knew Song preferred 'it' and who knew if an alien even grasped pronouns but heh. "If Nilly wants more friends I wouldn't... mind talking or anything." If it was gonna be living in this world it may as well get to socialize if it wanted to.

Nik's hesitation was a weird relief for Luke, and the offer that came after that felt much more reasonable than… just being too straightforward or whatever Nik could have said. W-well- Nill? he reached back into that very shared mind space.
The Nihilego had been rather quiet for a bit there, but on being acknowledged, it was quick to respond again. 'Yes?'
You heard Nik… did you want to talk to him?
The Nihilego didn't… actually know what it would say to Nik if it were to talk to him. It … knew and understood the basics of who he was and what he was from Luke's memories and its own personal experience but…but… but…. Jazz spurned its presence. He hated whenever it even tried to pipe up in the subtlest of ways. It… didn't even grasp why, exactly, but had come to guess this was just… a Human Thing, so…. 'He would hate me'
Lasdlkasdjlaksdjalskdaskdaoid- Luke was sputtering and probably looked very comical in response to absolutely nothing in his surroundings. Nilly that's not- He didn't even fully know what to think or say, and his own rationale and numerous reasons why Nik might did not help him or the Nihilego. "It- you…." Luke took in a weird breath. "It's… scared I think…" he finally mumbled. The way his hair swayed certainly added to this.

Nik waited patiently for a response, vaguely trying to imagine what kinds of discussions might be going on in their headspace. Probably not an encouraging friendship speech, but then, given the circumstances just may be, huh? Heh. Luke's probably not actually spontaneous reaction only piqued Niks' curiosity further, but once he explained...?
"I...?" A slightly nervous, unsteady, questioning laugh followed, and Nik fiddled with one of his earrings. "I guess... we're all aliens to it, huh?" He took a stab in the dark. It made sense enough for Nilly to be nervous when looking at it that way, right?
"That's okay," Nik reaffirmed. It had been an offer, not a request after all... but now that it was turned down with that reasoning, Nik did kind of want to see if he couldn't reassure it at least a little...?
"...Does Nilly understand handshakes?" Nik held out a hand, not quite lined up for Luke, but where a tendril of hair might be able to reach it.

That was…. that was one way to put it, yeah, Luke realized. It may not have been the exact reason, but humans, Pokemon, this world was still new to Nilly. They had none of the reassuring experiences that one born into the world might have, and even sharing Luke's memories was only second-hand experience. That.. coupled with Jazz's clear resentment made it worse…
At the assurance both Luke and Nilly seemed to stop for a moment. Nilly did, in fact, understand handshakes. It understood that sharing physical closeness was a form of intimacy, and that such things were common for humans. The hair at the side of Luke's raised and hesitated. Should I? It asked. Luke didn't know what to answer. If it had been 'can I', it would have been a yes. But Luke didn't want to believe it should be required to do anything… even if he believed it'd be good….
These things Nilly understood of Luke intrinsically through their shared mind space. It had an answer even when Luke didn't give one out right. Slowly that hair reached forward setting into Nik's hand and giving a small motion back. Yes… it could do this much….
A relieved feeling washed over Luke, one that he wasn't entirely sure was his own.

Nik did his best to remain steady-- in terms of keeping his hand still, his breathing calm, his nerves as relaxed as they reasonably could be managed-- and waited until Nilly touched his hand. A brief jolt shot through him at the unexpected texture-- wow that was?? hair but also not-hair what even-- but he managed to keep even that minimal.
"It's... nice to meet you, Nilly?" Was that okay? "Or.. we've 'met' but. Officially? Is this..." His grin was more awkward a moment. "It's nice," he repeated, hoping that was acceptable to cover. He wondered... a lot about Nilly really, for a lot of reasons, but. Heh, this was a start.

A small smile, not entirely Luke’s but not entirely Nilly’s, pulled across their face. ‘Can I…’ The phrase repeated again this time with a little more confidence. Luke hesitated before finally answering back. Yeah, it was … it would be fine in this case.
A slow breath drew in and out of both before Luke’s posture shifted a little. The air around him seemed to do the same. “Nice to meet you as well, Nikolai.” The voice that escaped into the air was very clearly Luke’s, but it was almost distinctly flat, monotone. Some might even say it was mechanical in nature— but not quite.
There was a pause as they took in a mutual breath. “Thank you for accepting me.” A weird tingling sadness chilled into Luke, and a sinking feeling reverberated in his stomach. Nilly allowed that tentacle to drop away again and shift to push through a few strands of Luke’s hair in an uncharacteristically human way. “This world is strange to me still… but I hope to learn some of it before I go home.” It was… honestly just summarizing what had been posed to it and Luke before, but coming from itself felt different somehow.
