After some recent unfortunate news, Nicholas has been busy packing up the contents of a bedroom he hasn't slept in with any regularity in 15 years (with absolutely no help from Travis, who would rather ignore the issue in the hopes that it will go away).
He found something in the bottom of the wardrobe that almost hurt to think about, and which he did not want to take home with him. He could think of someone who might like it, though, which is why he brought it to Milliways.
"I, uh, found something that your son might enjoy," he says with an odd amount of hesitation in his voice. "It might be a bit big on him, but he'll grow into it."
He hands Guppy the toy helmet, which bears no signs at all of Nicholas having had the thing since he was five years old.
Nicholas looks around, vaguely disconcerted. It's well into January for him right now, but it doesn't seem like more than a week has passed since he last stood in this place.

"Can I get you a drink?"

"Er, I'm fine," he says. "Thank you, though."
Apologies are awkward.
