NATE
“I do. I do remember that.” Nate stares at her face, at the shifting, awkward twitch of her mouth, and doesn’t blink. He doesn’t move, doesn’t blink even, not until she asks if he’d still be interested in teaching her, and he has to bite his lip suddenly, looking off to the side. “Not sure that’s a great idea.” The words come out in a dark mutter, Nate’s eye flicking upwards before landing on Seren’s face again.
Something sits heavy on his tongue, something that he tries to swallow down more than once. “The uh... if you want, if you’re really interested, there’ll be uh, classes, once I get my guild fixed up.” Another fit of hesitation seizes him, shorter this time. “I can make sure you know when.” He works his lips into a tight lipped smile, the pinched expression lasting only a moment.
Nate expects the next line of questioning about as much as he had expected the first one, which is to say not at all. Admittedly, he reacts far worse to this one, shaking as he fights the urge to rise to his full height, to snap ’No.’ “Not my decision to make.” He just about manages instead, his jaw clenched. “No ones going to Stormbreak anytime soon though. Sorry.”
A hand lifts to push through Nate’s hair, his gaze once again leaving Serens face to look around them, his shoulders shifting against the door. “Hey, listen... did you tell anyone you were comin’ round here?”
