He considered giving the same answer he had given Krazz: that he was merely curious and wanted to look, but Nick had already spent part of his break helping him.
Pretending he had no real interest in learning would be a rather poor way to repay that.

Instead, Nick frowned slightly. "Void?"
"Yeah."
"I don't think I've ever met someone with that affinity."
