NATE
"I was kind of hoping to avoid people, actually." As dry as it comes out of him, Nate makes no effort to change the situation. In fact, he comes closer, standing at the edge of the water and looking down into the pool. "I'll have to take your word for that one." He says of the water, stepping along the edge of it.
"I could ask you the same question, couldn't I?" Nate snorts and looks out towards the horizon, now that it's been pointed out again. "I'm just... getting away for a while. Like a...vacation." He cringes as he says it, working his jaw and sighing heavily. His posture says that this couldn't be further from a vacation, and that he absolutely does not want to talk about that particular weight.
"So," All at once the heavy weight of his one-eyed gaze focuses on the other man, "what are you doing out here?"
