you’ve been the only thing right in all I’ve done
Walking through Haulani and having people simply move for him feels like power. Feels like it should settle the tension in his jaw. Nothing seems to do that for Nate anymore, not even the weight of a cobra draped around him.
Even when he pretends, stepping into a mask as he steps into the jail, it's thin, flimsy, that thrum of anger leaking through his pores. "Locke. 'Relia." Something that's supposed to be a smile clings to his lips as he greets them, offering a nod to both. "Maeve." She doesn't get a nod, though burning eyes lock on her for a moment, before Nate is turning, leaning to help Sunjata down and focusing on Aurelia.
Nate follows after Sunjata like a well-trained dog, reaching out to take the blueprints from Aurelia before they step outside. As soon as the sun hits his face the dark scowl returns, Nate taking the ladder from the attuned, pressing a kiss to Sunjata's cheek as he does. He shimmies up to the roof with ease, then looks at the blueprints, squinting between them and the existing building. We'll need to reinforce a few places for the ventilation. Shouldn't be too hard. Hole first though.
So saying, Nate starts to get to work, pulling out anything too ruined to be usable and hammering in the new, directing Sunjata as needed.
Nate goes along with the roof and starts repairs
