No bird soars too high if he soars with his own wings
Even though it had seemed inevitable that his father was about to find out - to some extent at least - that his only son was hopelessly incompetent in the one field of magic that mattered, his father's words hit him like a devastating blow nonetheless. It was exactly like nightmares he'd had only this was real and he had no idea which nightmare scenario would match the reality.
The tears were now falling fast and freely and his head was now at such an angle that they were splashing directly onto the floorboards below. It was all he could do to shake his head slightly from side to side in response. He felt like he was already being crushed with the weight of his father's disappointment; his father might not have any reason to suspect his son hadn't been attempting a highly advanced spell but Nico was far too shaken up to try salvaging the situation. It was too late, it was all over for him now, his father would have the whole truth out of him in minutes and there was nothing to be done.
