Pretty unusual? Demigods did not exist in his world. Sure, some powerful people wished they were and pretended, but to actually be one? It just didn't happen. It was unheard of. It was the ease in which this bot spoke of these things which gave Draco some pause. Not to mention Hades, God of the Underworld. Of the Dead. Too close to home. Draco focused on the other things, though. On the things that he could understand. Magic and magical beings. Potions. "No, I don't suppose the son of Death would be good at healing. Did you learn anything? Such as the magical properties of different ingredients, like shavings from a unicorn horn? I cannot simply operate under the assumption that the ingredients from a Unicorn of your world would react the same as from mine. I also doubt you have the stores to allow me the chance at researching said properties."

As Draco began listing off questions, important things he needed to know, Nico realized that this would definitely not be as easy as he'd expected it to be. He'd been foolish to think that magic was universal, but apparently that wouldn't be the case with what Draco knew. He sighed, twisting the silver skull ring on his forefinger and then frowned.

"I was an ambassador to that camp, so I had more of an administrative role and didn't spend time with other people outside doing my job, so... no. I wish I had now, or at least been able to bring some stuff with me so maybe someone could replicate it. But it looks like I'm Styx out of luck."

Draco sighed and pursed his lips. Crossing his legs again he sat back and became lost in thought. "I imagine that there are many similarities between worlds, depending. However, I was taught a healthy dose of respect for the magical arts. My teacher was, well, a perfectionist. One for a very good reason. You do not become the youngest ever Potion Master by being sloppy." Draco said by way of explaining why he was worried about properties. "What about the general characteristics of your Unicorns? How they look, how they act... things of that nature. Any insight may very well help." Draco could just make the potion to the best of his ability, however ever since Severus had died the man was there in spirit every time, whispering in his mind when he went to do any potion at all. He couldn't ignore all the tiny little details that could make or break a potion. Not realizing just how neurotic it made him.

A perfectionist teacher... when it came to something like magic, Nico could understand easily why caution and perfection would be needed. It was so easy for magic to go awry and Nico knew that from firsthand experience. So he didn't blame Draco for wanting as much information as possible because there was no knowing if it was even possible to make what Nico needed and safely, at that.

Not responding right away, Nico chewed his lower lip as he considered his answer. In truth, he hadn't spent a lot of time around the unicorns; they didn't like him much given his tie to death. But his half-sister had been familiar with them, often working with them, which came easily for her given her propensity towards horses. With this in mind, Nico looks up at Draco. "Usually only the pure of heart can get near them. Their horns and hooves are made of precious metals, and, well... They didn't seem to like me much."

"Purity and wariness of Death makes sense," Draco said, motioning to the wilted grass around Nico. But then leaned back and crossed an arm over his chest to use to rest the elbow of the other as he pinched the bridge of his nose. Precious metals in horn and hoof... That was different from the Unicorns of his own world.

"The rest though... is different from what I know. I am guessing there is no one else here from your world. Well, then. Provide me with a sample and I will go to the magical research facility. See if there is something they can help with. Unless you wish to do that yourself. That may be best, actually. I will accompany you, of course, but you should be there, in case there are other questions for you." If only Severus was here... If only Severus was still alive.
