[ Nick waves off his apology, not really finding it necessary in the first place. He's just teasing the poor guy. Hell, he means well with his curiosity, a stranger drifting through his community is bound to raise an eyebrow or two.
Reading the text, he really does try not to look disappointed in himself. He didn't want the poor guy feeling sorry for him. Nick just.. did what he had to do in order to get by. Sure, he could have gotten a cheap motel, but that would have cut into the money he'd been saving so fastidiously. He doesn't really want to sleep in a barn, but it's a roof over his head and a dry place to sleep. Nick's done far more with less in the past.
He takes his time to consider his words, tapping the pen against his chin, brow furrowed as he looks down at the paper for inspiration.
I don't want to impose, and I don't want you to feel obligated to extend hospitality when you don't know me. I'll be fine, promise.
You're nice, and you're cute. It makes up for being nosy. ]
