you're trying not to tell him you love him, and you're trying to choke down the feeling
Regardless of the who or why, the surrounding factors, jealousy simmers in Nate's gut. It's not really worth making a big deal of it, not at a party, when the offending party is both super drunk and a Demi-god. He knows it's just a side effect of his current protectiveness anyway, when he thinks about it logically.
Still burns in his throat though.
But Ronin drags Melita away to dance, giving him the chance to simmer into nothing, a wan smile crossing his face as the fiery headed girl left her drink in her uncle's care, at the formal bow the Star offered out. "You went to balls?" He asks, brow cocked, an unvoiced joke sitting on his tongue while he watches the drinks get placed down.
Nate doesn't have to wonder what it is Sunjata is doing for long though, not as he's pulled in to a closer embrace, a slow sway. It has him huffing out a laugh, his hands moving to rest on the attuned's hips gently. The closeness has the rest of the party melting away, Nate immediately content to sway in place with Sunjata the rest of the night.

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