You win a lot, but you lose just a little bit more than you gained in the end
To his credit, it wasn't an intentional thievery. It's the kind of thing he'll find in his pocket, back in Torchline, feel like an asshole about, but then never rectify. Nate steps forward to meet Bastien, his hand outstretched in the offer of a shake, seemingly unaffected by the little the other man was wearing. Really, the other ascended could be naked and Nate didn't think he'd bat an eye. Then he remembers, oh wait, he has seen Bastien naked, at least most of the way.
The other man takes the basket from him, the grin on his face only fuelling the bright one on Nate's. "C'mon, I'm a man of my word. And I figured I might as well, before Longnight." And he'd been in the Grounds anyway, might as well make the social call while he could, since he didn't plan on being back for a while. The basket is handed back to him while Bastien bustles around, a table set in something that feels surprisingly cozy. Nate sets the basket down again, unwrapping ti while he does, revealing a mound of fried dough balls, somehow still slightly warm, not that it would matter.
"I overspiced them a little, so they actually almost taste like something." He jokes, unwilling to admit how much effort he'd actually put into the dish. He'd settled on something that he could taste though, even if it had almost made Sunjata choke, so it would have to be enough.
