NATE
"Oh, fuck." It's not eloquent, not by a long shot, but Nate has no idea how else to respond. It's a sudden wall of different between them, Sunjata's world one of authority and terror beyond his imagining. "I... never thought I'd be this glad I lived where I did. Can't imagine I'd last long." The laugh that accompanies the words is gentle, they're meant to be an attempt at empathizing, something Nate knows is not his strong suit. But at the same time there's the realization that the other man is stronger than him, in a way he'd never even imagined. It's... almost awe inspiring, really.
There's a long moment of quiet, Nate still out of his depth, even more now than he was before. Something he's saying, something he's doing is working though, or at least, is accepted. Words though, are a little harder, and he still doesn't know what to say to the first few when Sunjata continues, his gaze lifting to the ceiling. Nate just knows he should say something "You... did what you had to. As much as you had to. And... you got through it. That has to be enough."

But it takes someone to come around to show you how
