NATE
"Korofi." Nate repeats, his pronunciation still lacking. He won't stumble over it again, at least. An absent hand reaches out to trace a circle on Sunjata's shoulder while his gaze lifts up, Nate managing to bite his tongue while the other man worked through whatever it was he needed to in order to speak. Considering he'd barely said anything about his own home, Nate really isn't expecting much, but he nods, a grin spreading over his face at the similarity, the confirmation that they'd both been shit stirrers.
The rest of it though, has Nate's brows rising, mostly in surprise. It's not the kind of origin he would have thought for the other man, considering where it is they're sitting now, and there's a clear struggle on his face as he tries to piece what he sees and what he's being told together. His mouth opens in the pause, stupid quips and comments on his tongue, nothing quite making it out before Sunjata's talking again, and Nate's nodding again, just to show he's paying attention.
Rebellion made Nate laugh, the confusion on his face clearing up all at once. "There it is. I was wondering how the fuck you got from..." He makes a face and waves a hand, gesturing blithely to everything Sunjata had said up until this point, "that, to this." Another laugh, then Nate's hand is pushing at the other man's shoulder, pushing for him to continue. And... maybe he can part with a little more of his own history, after. Make it more even.
