The hand comes back before he actually touches anything, suspicious eyes turning back to the Voice, even as Nate feels a similar swirl of suspicion aimed towards him.

But, he had gotten what he wanted, more than he wanted, answers and a companion both. Instead of complaining, mouthing off, Nate simply nodded, something almost thoughtful on his face. "Thank you. This is... it's reassuring to know I'm not the redheaded stepchild." He would linger a few moments longer, but it seemed their business was concluded, and he had a lot to work out now.
