NATE
The grin on Nate's face grows with Sunjata's agreement, glad the frown is gone, nearly as quick as it had come. He doesn't want anyone else to agree that his life was bad, doesn't want his memories, his history known, judged. It's not a thought Nate would ever be able to put to words, but revealing too much of him before interferes with what he wants to be, what he tries to put out as himself. Even with someone he's trying to trust. The vaguer he can be, the more comfortable it is.
Talking about his brother though, is different. Nate's smile grows, glad for the attention, the rapt interest in Sunjata's gaze. "His name was Bart. We're twins." Blue eyes might be pointed at the attuned, but its not what Nate is seeing anymore, caught in a memory, in a bubble of unexpected emotion. "He's younger than me, not that you'd ever fucking know it. He was so serious about things, so... realistic. I think I'd probably be twice as fucked up if it wasn't for him, but he'd be a fucking asshole if it wasn't for me." Another laugh, and Nate blinks, shaking his head, more as an excuse to look away than anything else. His eyes are swimming, and he's not going to be weepy eyed in front of anyone, if he can help it.
