[ ...well. that sucks, actually, and his expression seems to say that. ]
Even the mortals we spend the most time with have their own ways of helping. Sounds kind of--[ he does not say lonely, but he kind of pauses. ]--frustrating, in its own way.
Mmm. Well, they have ghost hunting equipment, and they do cover for me when I have to go take care of things, which...does help a lot. I wouldn't be able to do it without them.
But at the end of the day, they can't fly or go intangible. I have to do the big stuff. And ghost weapons don't work on them, just me.
Which is both a good and a bad thing. [ yeah. that's understandable. but there is some confusion in that as he's filing all of this away as "stuff to know about danny fenton." like. is it appropriate to ask him about his friends or his sister? they obviously know he's a ghost, so that's a good thing, but this is nico's daily struggle of "how the hell to you talk to people sometimes."
so he sticks with something easier. ] Kind of the first time I've ever heard of ghost weapons though.
It's actually helpful, most of the time. If I didn't have access to all their gear, it would be a lot harder to catch ghosts, and my friends wouldn't be able to help much at all.
Plus, they're only like, good at it about half the time. So it's not exactly that hard to avoid getting ripped apart molecule by molecule by them.
[ he does not sound bothered by this in any way whatsoever ]
...huh. [ don't just sound fascinated about it, nico. ] Nobody's perfect, I guess, but that does prove to be pretty convenient for sneaking around under their noses to actually fight the things they're trying to hunt themselves.
[ ...then again to be fair he's done enough sneaking around while hades wasn't watching so why wouldn't that make sense. ]
Convenient ghost-hunting and fighting weapons for you. Convenient demigod powers for me. And absolutely no detective tools or anything for either of us.

Vengeance is a powerful tool, usually. [ but he frowns briefly. ] There's seriously nobody else helping you?

Oh man, seriously? You're lucky, if you're like...ghost-adjacent and don't have to deal with them.
Ghost hunting and building weapons for it is like, my parents' life goal.
