A party. A lifetime ago, Nate would have leapt at the chance for it, would have gotten himself put together in something tight and flattering and draped himself round his husband and pretended. Pretending just came with a few more steps nowadays.
On the surface, Nate seemed cool, at ease in his element, an arm thrown around Sunjata’s shoulders. But his jaw is clenched tightly behind his grin, and his hand shifts restlessly on his husbands shoulders. A newly complete again pair of blue eyes flick over the guests, the amenities provided, and Nate hardens, shifting to plant his feet a little more firmly.
Nate goes impossibly stiller as Sunjata points out the Talieslin clan, gestures towards Seren. He does reach down with his free hand to ruffle her hair though, his smile growing brighter for a moment while he distracted himself.. “[say]Seems like a fun little shindig so far.[/say]” He answers Sunjata easily. Though they had only just arrived. Plenty of time for things to go wrong still.
