[Nico has never heard such...concern and sympathy, and all of it is sincere. It cuts straight through his natural inclination to distrust and be wary of others. His defenses relax somewhat in response, even more so as he listens to Legolas' explanation.
The comment about his mother, though...yeah, he knows that feeling very well.]
...The one ghost I've never been able to talk to, even in the Underworld, has been my mother's. My sister told me it was because I was forbidden, and so was my mother. I don't know your mom, so I can't say for sure, but maybe she didn't want to be found because she didn't want you to hurt more than you already have. She may still be there waiting for you to join her when you're ready.
[Perhaps with a smile and open arms. This has been a thought that has haunted Nico. Wondering if his mother will be proud of him and still love him despite everything.]
