light up my moon

- NATE -

Got my own monster
Nobody but me

Sunjata slinks down, leaning in towards the baby turtle, making Nate lean back, just to counter balance the shift, so he doesn't go pitching forward and injure either of them. He's already had one fall tonight, might as well try to avoid another one. The shake of the snakes head is obvious, and it keeps the smile on Nate's face, another first together. It does not last long though, the tiny creature making it's way to the edge of the surf, getting swept along into the waves so suddenly it's almost like it was never there, if not for it's wobbling trail.

Nate keeps his gaze focused on the water for a moment, following the glittering trails of glowing algae, a mini galaxy all it's own, then sighs softly. "Y'know... this is the kind of shit I used to dream about. When I was younger, and still believed in... I dunno, good things?" It's kind of sappy, but... this is a date, or would be in another time, another place. He can afford to be a little sappy, a little romantic, if he so dares. A low laugh passes through his lips, head tilting to press against scales as he turns.

And comes face to face with a beach full of tiny, wriggling shapes, all crawling across the sands, towards the waves. He pauses, not really sure what to do, how to respond, though after a moment Nate steps to the side, out of the way, and settles in to watch. For a bit at least.

I would never call him enemy
He's the bad god I need
