– NATE –
"The festival? Oh." Nate rolled his eyes, settling down into his chair a little more comfortably as he did. "I didn't quite catch what it was about, but I couldn't miss it." Knowing that it was some kind of interpersonal drama somehow made it less interesting though. At least neither of them seem to find fault with his reasoning though. Hotaru's comment pulled a smirk, a huff of laughter from him, but the words from Sunjata actually do something to soothe and vindicate his feelings both.
For all that vindication is actually worth, with the way anger now floods Nate, calmed, only barely, by the hand on his shoulder. Blue flick to Sunjata quickly, then to Hotaru, before settling, for a moment, somewhere between them, letting the conversation wash over him until he's put back together enough to spit more than spite and venom. "Even if you are feeling the urge to settle down, you could do better." Much better, in his opinion. "And you can be more hands off with a business, once it's set up properly." After all, Sunjata had how many bars? Surely a spa could be delegated similarly.
Nate sits up, takes the bottle to refill his own glass and let the other two have their moment, what feels like a callback to something he hadn't been a part of. He can't abide not being a part of something for long though, refuses to let himself feel like an outsider, and leans in again, resisting the urge to put his hand out and on top of the attuned's like some kind of strange game, and focuses on Hotaru completely, unblinking gaze perhaps a touch more intense than he means. "Where are you going to be staying through Deepfrost?"
