'cause the bad's been slowly getting worse
and this fast lane living, it's a curse
Nate offers a weak nod to her clarification, but only crumples more at the answer, mostly not good enough to justify this, not by a long shot. Not with what else has apparently happened, news of yet another death coming as a surprise, a numb horror crossing his face. It was too much. And it added too much weight to the idea that he'd been attacked on purpose, that it had been more than random, which he honestly isn't sure how to parse at the moment. "Do... you know who?"
At least the surprise, the little surge of good news, acts as something of a buoy, Nate's head lifting to meet the Demi-god's gaze, a hand rising to push his hair out of his face. "The three of us, yea. Just," he he rolls his shoulders in a shrug, gaze falling to the ground again, "something simple. Something good." He knows it's a complex situation, but he's trying to keep his description simple, and he doesn't know the history Wessex has with Hotaru, the way the news might be taken.
Almost as if he's forgotten about it, Nate lifts a hand as the question of his injury comes up, fingers curled over the blind eye protectively. "It was an attack. Back near... fuck, the beginning of Deepfrost." He swallows, and bites down the words that are coming next, the connection he knows she'll make. Do you think it's related?
