You are understanding.

Deciding not to make her more nervous and trying to help an old friend, you speak to her in as casual and reassuring a voice as possible.

"Are you okay, Nico? Don't worry about what that guy says, you can be calm with me," Although you try to sound brave and calm, you see how Nicki was still nervous when she heard your words and she looked at you with a mixture of pity and surprise.

"Thank you very much and I'm fine, don't worry, I'm used to everyone acting like him," she tells you with a trembling voice and looking slightly into her eyes. "Besides, you're more than free to call me Nicki, no one calls me Nico anymore for obvious reasons," she ends now making a sad face again and looking at her plate again.

You become serious at that moment, one thing is that he has changed, another is that he cannot be called freely as he wishes, and even above her you could tell that it was eating him up inside of her.

Making a decision, you stretch out your hand and place it on top of one of hers, she raises her head, very surprised, but you, far from throwing yourself behind her, take a breath and answer her.

"Don't even say this jokingly, okay? You have every right to be called by the name you want, besides that you have changed a bit, what does it matter? For me you will always be the same and you will have my support for what whatever you need," you tell him in a voice that you try to be as serious and comforting as possible. "Besides, it doesn't matter how you dress right now or how you look physically, if you're happy staying out of who cares the most," you finish inadvertently raising your voice and looking towards the rest of the studs and jerks nearby.

Nickie looks at you puzzled and very surprised and you can see that she is trying to articulate words, but she sees how her eyes fill with tears and she takes your hand that you had placed on top of hers. "Thank you very much Martin, you really are a great friend, I wish I could return the favor for your support, since the beginning few have supported me as you have," she tells you with a trembling voice and a shy smile.

You are now happy that she was happy, her face smiles at her, you are happy that she understood what you wanted to say.

"Well, in the end we will have another ladybug here, hahahahahaha," Suddenly you hear, look to your left and see that one of the stallions was the one who had spoken. "What a couple of two, Nicki's bitch and now Martin, or will it be Martina soon? hahahaha, come on if you want that, let Nicki's bitch end up sucking you off and let's see if you're the same as her or not," he says while looking at you with a mocking look.

You're going to answer when you look at how Nicki, upon hearing those comments from her, had her sad look again and had removed her hand from yours.

Determined no longer to continue like this, you grab Nicki's hand again and speak in a determined voice to her.
