“[say]Actually I go both ways.[/say]” Nate retorts on instinct as he brushes himself down, rolling his shoulders and cracking his neck when he finishes. “[say]I’ve had nothing but bad experiences in these woods you know, you couldn’t expect me to react well.[/say]” Now that he’s relaxed a little bit, he can stretch that familiar grin across his face and take a step closer to Nikolai, his head tipped back just enough that Nate can look down his nose at the younger ascended.
