His head shakes a little as he speaks, challenging the other man, waiting to see how he'd rise to it. Bastien might not be his usual type, but he was definitely the type who'd get a second glance.
Even the raucous cheer from Bastien doesn't quite pull Nate back into a jovial mood, the grin on his lips twisting a little at the apology. It's a little easier to focus on the "Family Business". "It's not a euphemism. He did keep bad things from happening to people. He just... caused the bad things too." Really, it was an oversimplification of what he'd have had to do, dear old dad a grifter with his fingers in a dozen pockets. Trying to explain it all would just be tedious.
