NATE
Ramoth gives up on the bug he'd been chasing to instead come and inspect Varus' hand, sniffing at it curiously before plopping his body in an unceremonious curl, claws grabbing one of the ascended's fingers and holding it in place to be mouthed at, sharp teeth carefully gentle.
Leaning in towards Varus, Nate sighs, and finally takes a step closer, righting himself just a little bit again. He doesn't meet the eyes that turn towards him, looking away the moment he notices the ascended shifting and focusing instead on the targets in the distance. The question sitting on his tongue isn't the one he should ask, he knows that, knows he shouldn't press at Varus' circumstances, so he chews it down into nothingness, stopping just short of spitting it out on the heel of the question that does leave him. "Must suck shit, huh? Waking up and being in the same fucking mess as before."
Blue eyes return to Varus, following the disk's path to the ground before returning to a newly uncovered face. Between them, Ramoth all but purrs, tugging on the finger in his mouth. "It'll be enough, yeah? For... something, at least." Nate furrows his brow and works his jaw, trying to make the vulnerable words feel less strange coming out of him.

But I know that time's gonna take me
I know that day's gonna come
I know that day's gonna come
