i don't know where home is, but i suppose it's anywhere i go that's any good at all
It's nice, in a way, to open up properly, to have the parts of himself he still wrestled with not only out in the open, but accepted. Maybe next time, he'll be able to do this when Sunjata is completely lucid, though truth be told he's handling his first high pretty well. Nate hums, and leans into the kiss on his cheek, a bright smile on his lips, crinkling bright eyes. And he rolls his eyes as he takes his drag, unable to banish the look on his face as he's teased.
Considering what he knew of Korofi, Nate should have expected the answer he got, shouldn't have let it be a shock, and yet. The look spread over his features is more sober now, a hand moving to stroke across the attuned's features, the gentle reminder that Nate is right here, that they're somewhere where this can just be a fun, hypothetical conversation, not an actual condemnation. "Well..." He begins slowly, seriously, "I guess that would really mess up my status as a well known good boy. Good thing I've got someone on the inside here." Nate laughs brightly, leaning in to kiss at Sunjata's forehead, trying to smooth away the lines of the grimace with his lips.
"Did I ever tell you about the first time I ran away?' He asks, because he knows he hasn't, hopes it'll be enough of a hook to draw them back into gentler waters.
