NATE
Nate can only blink as Sunjata explains the policy of his homeland, his brows pulling together in quiet confusion. "How do you even enforce something like that?" Honestly, he might not feel much love towards his family, but he can't imagine growing up any other way either. There's no way he'd be the same person without it.
The subject change seems to have backfired on both of them, discomfort suddenly invading the surprisingly cozy tangle they've settled into. Nate tries to bring some of the comfort back, fingers rubbing soft circles against the attuned's skin, blue eyes not leaving the other man, though stormy steel had turned away from him. "That's all you can do, right? Hope she's okay." It's clear the lightness in Nate's voice is forced here, a little strained despite his best efforts. "It's... hard, having someone you love in a place you can't help. Especially when it's easy to fix so much other shit by just fighting a little harder."
