NATE
If they launch right into a conversation, if they pick up that thread of motion and distraction immediately, Nate can keep all the cracks covered up, and put down his stress and his weariness for time being
The ascended scoffs at the question, his response sounding all but rehearsed. ”Oh this and that. I’m a busy fuckin’ bee, you know, and the Climb has just been buzzing.” It’s the most specific he’s willing to get, unwilling to just come straight it and say he’d been doing things for the Voice. Sure, he likes Deimos fine, but liking him and trusting him are two entirely different things.
So it’s right down to business then? Nate nods, shoulders rolling back as his chin tips up in something that pretends to be mirth. ”He did. It’s real generous of you. And,” Here Nate glances away, mismatched eyes focusing on anything but the general beside him, an uncomfortable bubble of sincerity rising from his through, ”we appreciate it. I appreciate it.” Theres a pause, a beat, as Nate considers letting that sit, deciding against it faster than he expects. ”I gave it a little bit of throughly, actually.”
