Confine me let me be the lesser of a beautiful man without the blood on his hands
There are a lot of things about Finn that set Nate a little more at ease, that have the suspicious beast in him cooking, giving way to something a great deal warmer, more friendly. Not that that meant the other man wasn’t dangerous, and if Nate knew what he represented... but he doesn’t. ”Obvious when you know what to look for.” Comes the enigmatic answer.
His hand is accepted, shaken while introductions are made. ”Nathaniel. Nate, if you want.” He doesn’t offer a last name, and not only because it will soon be changing. Nate’s not that trusting. ”Don’t mention it. Everyone needs a hand now and then, right?”
Before he takes a step in the direction of Haulani though, Nate whistles, a single, sharp note ringing out over the rainbow rocks, before he turns his back to them and offers a grin to Finn. Pemota drifts up from the crags she’d been exploring and trails after them, settling at Nate’s shoulder, her immediate suspicion of the man an unwelcome cloud in the back of his mind. ”What brings you out to Torchline?” Hands pat his pocket for a pack of smokes while he speaks, brow raised towards Finn once he finds them, a silent you mind? in the gesture.
