- NATE -
but who am I to say?
let's all just run away
let's all just run away
Nate's hands keep moving, even as he seems to stray along every wrong topic, even as Sunjata pauses. Gentle circles, at the base of the attuned's head. "Well there go all my plans." A soft chuckle, the words obviously rumbled as a joke, to break up the seriousness, the heaviness of past mistakes and regrets. They really have strayed a far way in just a few moments. "I... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to drive a wedge in anything." Though he's not entirely sure how he could have been involved, unless the bite at Maea's check up had affected her more than he thought. Or... maybe she'd heard about what happened in the smugglers caves.
Fuck, maybe it made more sense than he'd first thought.
It helps the gnawing feeling in Nate's chest to be distracted, by the conversation shifting, by Sunjata's fingers moving again. "You don't have to look at it right now, you know. I just... don't want to push past a line you want to stay behind, y'know?" Just because Nate had said he wouldn't be pushed away didn't meant the other man had made the same decision, and moving too fast, too far, was one of the easiest, most common ways he lost the people he wanted to keep around the most.
