Nate
There's a shadow just behind me
Shrouding every step I take
Making every promise empty
Pointing every finger at me
Shrouding every step I take
Making every promise empty
Pointing every finger at me
"Yea, someone like you. With the hair and the freckles and all that. Cute." Nate chuckled gently at the tail end of his words, his hand coming up to tap at his own cheeks, like his explanation wasn't enough. Flirting came near second nature to him, especially since he was so far from home. No chance of being found out when he didn't know anyone.
The easy smile still clung to his lips as Sam explained his dismal aura. He still wasn't completely sure about what was happening, or everything the other man was talking about, but did he really need to? Comfort was easy. "Oh, that big black thing? Seemed like everything around it would take a lot of work." Nate pushed off the shelf as he spoke, closing the distance between him and Sam and crouching before him. "It's all done with now though, so you can move onto the next thing." Nate reached out, and took the forgotten book from Sam's lap, leafing through it for a moment before looking back up into Sam's face and snapping it closed.
After his admittedly weak attempt at comfort, Nate looked around, staring up and down the aisles as if to confirm their solitude. "I was going to be around here for a few hours anyway. Would be nice with some company, if you wanted to join me." Nate offered his hand out for Sam to take, planning on pulling him to his feet and a less dismal corner of the Aetheneum.
