"No." A gasp of desperation, before Nate remembers himself, remember's who he's with, and hardens himself again, the momentary slip of the grin only making it seem less real when it returns. "It has to be a diamond." Maybe not necessarily that diamond - she'd said this side of Halo, hadn't she? Halo was just a hop, skip, and portal jump away. It would be so much easier to have it now, to not have to search anywhere else, but it's an option he holds in the back of his mind if it really comes down to it.
His tongue darts between his lips, greasing the way for his words, his smiles. "There's a lot I can offer if you give me the chance." Nate doesn't bother to hold back his wink, the way his head tilts towards her. "Name a price. A job, a trinket. Let me earn it." It doesn't exactly feel like he's coming off as less desperate, but he's managed to inject confidence back into his voice, a swagger that says he can make everything he promises come true.

it's chaos, confusion, and wholly unworthy
of feeding and it's wholly untrue
