NATE
The snort lighten things a little bit, a matching grin spreading over Nate's lips. It only lasts a moment, and the levity is enough to make the dip even more jarring, the conversation on a spiralling path down without control. Maybe he should have just sucked it up and been a bit of a baby, been a little more comfortable. Maybe he could have avoided pulling Sunjata down, at least for now. It wasn't that Nate regretted it, or didn't want to hear more about the other man's past, it was just so much, he didn't know what to do, how to respond.
Nate is very still again, not breathing, not blinking, his electric eyes focused intently on the attuned. He cocks his head at the rhetorical question, even that action mechanical, precise, and he listens. Words are something that normally come easily, but in the face of this, he has nothing. No words, and cheap comfort. He has to say something. Get something out. "That's ffffffucked." Get something else out. "It's... a testament to who you are, that you made it through, right?"

But it takes someone to come around to show you how
