– NATE –
There is something in the way Sunjata and Hotaru talk to each other, careful barbs and guarded answers and almost apologies that Nate doesn't quite understand. He can see it, but it makes no sense to him, try as he might to work it out. Instead he offers comforts where he can, tries to soothe the almost anger with well placed flattery, and smiles. "Can't imagine too many people out there who can compete with you though." His eyes follow hers towards the attuned, another barb he doesn't quite get, but that makes his brows pull together.
The expression doesn't last long though, a bright grin breaking through it to shine at Hotaru as she meet's his energy, answers his question with a frankly boring amount of responsibility. He almost rolls his eyes, though the sigh from Sunjata keeps him more serious, more focused in the moment, and his response comes softer. "There is room here. And I'm willing enough to say I need you here, if that's what it takes to get some beach time." There's a soft laugh, his legs stretching out into her space, since he can't reach out at the moment, won't interrupt Sunjata's touch.
Common sense tells him he should really leave things well enough alone, that he shouldn't poke at them, not when things seem to be moving smoothly, but... no one would ever say he was gifted with self control. He does at least take a moment to think over how he's going to word what he want's to say, sucking on his teeth before he actually speaks up. "I know I'm uh... kind of late into this." He laughs softly, keeping his tone careful. "Did something happen? Between you two, obviously. I... feel like I'm missing something." He was as honest as he could be, at least, and tried to keep his eyes moving between the both of them, to not imply anything anywhere.
