NATE
If I'm running things, everyone else gets to enjoy it darling. Not that that meant he begrudged the position he put himself in, not by a long shot, he was just as capable of stepping away, when he wanted to, and that oil slicked feeling overlaid his silent words. I've learned to... trust in things a little more, lately. This is passed over with great importance, supported by an even greater amusement. As if it's been some great sacrifice to open himself up.
There's less time to speak while they're transporting their kill back home, too much focus spent on keeping balance. At least Nate's question about how far his tirelessness stretches in this form is answered, because he's aware of the wear on his body, even if it doesn't quite touch him, and he's aware of Sunjata's similar exhaustion. He's not quite sure if he can tell that because of the attuned bond, or their own personal bond, but it does have him leaning closer when they finally arrive, then circling around, looking for ways to test his shape closer to home.
His mindfulness is mistimed though, aimed in the wrong direction. There's enough energy left in his partner for games, for a sneak attack that sends Nate sprawling into the dirt, a great rumble leaving him. What is there to do? Nipping teeth snap near Sunjata's ear, great playful paws grabbing him so Nate can rise with his fiance.

Let’s admit, without apology,
what we do to each other
what we do to each other
