NATE
All of this is going over far easier than Nate expected, Sunjata nodding understanding and acceptance, despite his distaste with how long the whole process with last. ”Getting sick is never ideal.” Nate points out, smiling crookedly. It’s still nowhere near as easy as it had been earlier, but it’s less strained, now that there’s some kind of plan in place, now that the most difficult part is over. Well, most difficult emotionally. For him. Sunjata still had a lot of shit ahead. ”It could be a lot worse. All things considered, you should count yourself lucky.”
Nate very casually doesn’t meet Sunjatas gaze, his eyes dipping down in quiet worry at the ragged intake of breath. He had been a little worried about suggesting it, considering the timing, and well... everything surrounding a bite, but the other man seemed to just take it in stride, like everything else, so Nate followed suit. ”About once a week, depending on how you’re progressing. It just... gives me a more accurate way to check up on you. If we were back in my world, this would be a lot easier, but...” He shrugged, looking up again now that he’d put some clinical distance between himself and the act, ”we’re making do with what we have, right?”
Before a silence could grow, and fester with awkwardness, Nate continued on, stepping back entirely from Sunjata and finally breaking the contact between them fully. (Had he really been touching the other man so long? He’d barely noticed.) ”Do you have any allergies? Any other conditions I should keep in mind?”
