I think the lack of reaction from Joel and Jack (who seem the closest to Nick) made it clear that they understood fine.

I would say rather than kindness as such it showed a certain maturity. Basically social or emotional intelligence. I was confused initially too but after a moment I could easily see the reasoning and thought it was refreshing given the usual cliquey way these things tend to pan out. It's not really that surprising though that it is lost on some. It is the way of things unfortunately.
