Since we're on the topic of people being wary of Nico, I'll add my two cents.

The people of the world of PJO are not like us readers, we've followed Nico since he was a mythomagic nerd and we know he's a good guy and we know his inner thoughts.

The people of the world of PJO don't know that. He's a stranger to them- a stranger who is the son of the king of the Dead (hiss personality doesn't really help his lovable factor either).

Same like any shady stranger we meet on the streets, we don't trust them at first.
