Nico eats his own cookie slowly, breaking it into neat pieces. He listens intently to Fives' words. He always listens intently to what people say - how they say it, everything he sees in their movement and tone and comparisons to past conversations - but this is (mostly) not with a part dedicated to trying to watch out for any dangers.
"It's a... good vow. It can be good to have things said like that. Officially. Even if you have those... plans already. Being the real people who can say them, in the world you're remaking."
He's not sure they're words he could ever say, but there's an importance to them that he takes in carefully.
"They'll know they have that choice. Someday, they won't even have to think about it, because they'll never have known a world where it would've been a problem." He says that with a solemn certainty, a rarity with his usual attitude of twitchy uncertainty about everything.
"Yeah." His smile is wondering and a little awed at the idea of it. "The youngest will never have known anything different. They'll have been free their entire lives, with all the possibilities that come with it." It might not have happened yet, but he's confident that it will.
