This part was kind of a bummer, despite it's potential. Which really is disappointing, because Nate loves a good party, would love to see Sunjata get shit faced and let loose, instead of shit faced and fallen into his own head, but it seems like near everyone else is trying to keep that from happening. Except Melita, who Nate has decided, between this and the last time he met her, is pretty cool.
The cherry is when Amun stalks up, the tense cut of his shoulders clear, though the underlying reason not. This is another situation where Nate feels better keeping his mouth closed, not overstepping into Sunjata's business, as a present is pushed into the attuned's hands, it's bearer turning and leaving immediately. Nate bites his tongue a moment longer, then calls out, words on the heels of the birthday boys. "At least have a few drinks before you stalk off again. It's supposed to be a celebration, right Amun?"
