Wow. Wow. No subtlety after all, just a straight dive to the heart of the matter, eh? You exchange a look with the old woman, shrugging and raising your hands as if to say hey, not my fault. You set the floor for Nate to dance on; if he's not graceful it ain't on you.
The auntie, for her part, looks skeptical and somewhat put-out. Propping fists upon her hips she fixes Nate with a look. Boy, I've been married five times! she replies with a merry laugh. Lemme tell ya- a happy home starts with happy dishes. Now, if yer lookin' fer some bowls, some'a 'em got a rather pretty pattern. Here, look look. From under the counter the woman brings up a stack of bowls wrapped in brown paper, gesturing for Nate to come closer that she might unwrap them and reveal her work.
You hold your place leaning on the wall as all of this unfurls, looking away briefly to greet one of the dockhands and shake your head at his skeptical look and the thumb pointed to Nate.

I was born here and I'll die here against my will
I know it looks like I'm movin' but I'm standin' still
