NATE
”Yup, the more things change, the more they stay the same, huh?” Obviously Nate has no idea what kind of place Anden came from, but people seemed to generally lean towards being terrible in groups, no matter how good they might be one on one. A sly grin drags the corners of Nate’s mouth up as he straightens, leans in like he’s imparting great wisdom on Anden, instead of tourism pitches. ”Torchlines got everything you could want from a place. Beaches, bars, a pretty face and a thriving underbelly.” What else could you possibly need from a place?
”Just to visit, if you want.” Really though, Nate can’t imagine anyone just visiting Torchline. He certainly hadn’t been able to. ”You know you feel the heat about as much as you feel the cold. It’s just the sun you gotta worry about, and with Deepfrost coming...” Arms spread wide, Nate letting his words speak for themselves at this point.
Unblinking eyes lock on his fellow ascended, Nate barely bothering to hide his grin. ”What’re you doing here in the Grounds?” Nate retorts automatically, a brow lifting as he stared Anden down. He doesn’t know it’s a thought they’re trying to avoid, but he seems to recognize he may be touching a nerve, hands lifting in placation before Anden can get a word in. ”I’m not gonna force you. I’m just saying. Think about it. It’s not like you don’t know anyone.”
