you're trying not to tell him you love him, and you're trying to choke down the feeling
Whatever drama there is going on around the drinks is ignored, Nate sidling by with an easy grin, quick hands reaching into the boxes to grab three bottles, not a glance spared to what they contain before he's turning. And, unfortunately, catching Samuel's eyes. A rough grin spreads over his lips as he moves past the other man, words on his lips but not quite making it out into the air, not yet. Might as well avoid ruining things, at least so early in the evening.
"Did you really replace me so fast?" He asks with a whine as he returns to Sunjata's side, something that wasn't quite jealousy, but wasn't quite not jealousy rising up as his eyes immediately focused on the hands clasped together. It's a feeling fixed easily enough though, his arm wrapping around the attuned's shoulders as he comes back. "Seems like we've got some catching up to do." He offers by way of greeting towards Ronin, his toothy grin warm. A bottle is offered out to Sunjata and Melita each, the latter with a conspirators wink, hoping it helps her to ignore her worries for the night. Questions can be answered later.

& you're trembling and he reaches over
and touches you, like a prayer for which no words exist
NATE
