― Rick Riordan, The Blood of Olympus

“Nico, I've seen a lot of brave things. But what you just did? That was maybe the bravest.”

“He carried so much sadness and loneliness, so much heartache. Yet he put his mission first. He persevered. Reyna respected that. She understood that. She'd never been a touchy-feely person, but she had the strangest desire to drape her cloak over Nico's shoulders and tuck him in. She mentally chided herself. He was a comrade, not her little brother. He wouldn't appreciate the gesture.”
― Rick Riordan, The Blood of Olympus
