- NATE -
The universe is expanding
But I don't feel a damn thing
But I don't feel a damn thing
Selfishly, Nate let’s mismatched eyes close and leans into the comforting touches, as much as he can lean into something intangible. ”Thank you.” Sincerity drips heavily off the words, Nate’s eyes opening again to look at the thrumming core of the tree. ”Just tell me what needs to be done, and I’ll do it.” Thats one thing resolved, and easily, but it isn’t the one Nate’s worried about.
Pemota drifts away from him, though whether it’s in disappointment, or a preemptive fear for what will happen to him isn’t clear. ”I fucked up. I don’t know how, but I... I wanted to get something for,” his voice drops into a whisper, ”Sunjata. He’s not... one of yours though, and I didn’t want him to... get in trouble with,” Safrin’s name is replaced with a hand wave, and Nate clearing his throat, ”so I... went to her. And... didn’t do what she asked me to.”
Nate looks anywhere but at the tree, shifting uncomfortably. He’s left a lot out, things that he’s sure the Voice will know. ”She... did something to me.”
