Yeah, Iā¦ definitely wouldnāt be much help in the kitchen.
( To say the least.
A tilt of his head, his arm slips away from her back and, instead, loosely drapes around her shoulder, nails gently biting into his thumb some as he takes a look at one of the shelves there in front of them. )
( The kiss gets a smile to softly touch his lips and he looks to her with genuine curiosity then at her offer made. Blue eyes blinking, he touches at his chin in thought with his other hand. )
What would you recommend?
( Snacks and such a variety of them like this wereā¦ never a thing where he came from and given his situation back on Earth now and his moving around so much, he really just eats whatever. )
(Cute. Well, considering Nate looked surprised at literally everything she ordered back at the bar, maybe something sweet this time around. So, she spins them to the other side, towards the bakery.
It's not the best one she has ever seen, naturally, but it's better than no bakery.)
Mmmm. Cinnarolls sounds pretty good right about now. Wanna try one?
( Cinnarollsā¦ no, he has no idea what those are, but. Might as well give them a go? Also, he trusts her not to lead him astray when it comes to food choices and fllavors here, so. Eyeing what sheās eyeing, he leans in a little, arm slipping away from her shoulder, to take a better look. Nope. Never seen those before. )
Sure. Sounds like itās a sweet treat from the name?
(Nate, darling, there's just so much you don't know and you're about to experience a whole new world. Her side slots onto his as she orders two of the treats, handing him one with a satisfied smile.
No idea if he will like it, though. Here goes nothing.)
( Taking one of the cinnarolls in hand, he eyes the frosting there slathered on top of it and then proceeds to gently tap his roll against hers. Well, she did say cheers after all and that's what one does when... cheering... so.
Blue eyes bright with curiosity for how this will taste, he takes a bite for himself from his own as he stands there and... gets a mouthful of frosting right off the bat. It takes him a second ā gets a bit of that frosting all over his lips before he's giving a soft chuckle and looks down to the roll there with the fresh bitemark in it. )
(She probably should have warned him to go easy on the frosting part and go for the dough, but it kind of slipped her mind as she takes her own bite, the frosting not attacking her as an expert sweets-eater, but she can see his current struggle.
With a napkin handed and a chuckle, she gestures to the treat with curiosity.)
( Napkin handed, he wipes at his mouth with it and chuckles softly under his breath. Things like this are what heād been afterā¦ moments like thisā¦ people like this. Normal things a person does in their day to day life that so many take for granted. Not that life if ever really normal for a mutant to begin with, but. This right here is. Things Sinister doesnāt seem to understand or care about for him. )
Definitely a little sweet.
( He smiles some as he looks back down to it and picks at the dough a bit more than the frosting. )
Donāt know if theyāll have these on Solmara.
( Which he needs to leave for soon. )
Iāll keep a line open back here. You know. In case something happens.
(Good thing he's got Sophie Cuckoo on his corner. She'll drag him up and down to all things she can, bakeries, restaurants, parties. A little glimpse of her life, even from here, because she is unable to live otherwise.
At least, he seems down with all her crap, so she'll take full advantage of it. With a smile, one side of her mouth turns up as she delivers this horrible piece of news.)
They will probably not have it in Solmara, so if I were you? I'd take one of each of these pastries and shove it in my face.
(Ah, right. In case something happens. She doesn't love the sound of that.)
Yeah. Quentin'll let me know if something does, so I'll go by the 'no news is good news'.
(Literally the first time she said his name to Nate, look at that.)
( As far as Nate knows, it must be a telepath thing.
He looks down to the cinnaroll again - takes a moment to shove some of the doughy part into his mouth this time around and falls quiet then as he chews, wondering how this whole Solmara thing will go. Especially with some alternate and young version of his father going with him. He wants to help but heā¦ doesnāt do teamwork very often or all that well. Itās justā¦ easier to do it himself. Sending Scott along, regardless of the balancing each other out excuse almost feels like a way to make sure he doesnāt do anything too altruistic if he were by himself. Heās onto you, Julian.
Sigh on his lips, he looks over to her there with him. Quiet. Contemplative. In a way that isnāt sharing what heās thinking or feeling. )
Heās kind of a lot, huh?
( He huffs a bit then. )
Quentin. I offered to severe the connection if things get bad, but he wouldnāt hear of it. Thought I was being considerate but I guess not.
(Oh, Nate thinks he's a lot? Quentin hasn't even started being "a lot", trust her. She has seen him being a lot more... Lot, and dealt with it too. She's gonna have to find someplace to sit, so she'll gesture with her head so they'll go to the tables within Kwik Trip. Sounds like they're talking, and if that's the subject, well.)
You haven't seen him being a lot yet.
(Leaving it at that. The second half is much more important.)
I'm... Ugh, with him on this. Something happens to you, we gotta know, and besides. We've all had really, really shitty things happen to us. We can deal with it.
( He follows along ā takes a seat beside her ā cinnaroll still in hand or, what's left of it anyways. Looking over to her there, he considers her words as he did Quentin's and just... sighs a little, blue eyes flicking their gaze up to the sky that he'll probably have to take to soon. )
I just meant more if it gets really bad. I didn't want him to have to feel anything I might feel.
Yep. Pain would be the least of my concerns and thoughts if you kick it. We've all been through that several times, Nate. It's a choice to be there if you have to go through it too.
(He chose to befriend the girl who died a buncha times, and the guy who died a buncha times. If it were her who were connected to Nate and he kicked it, she'd be there until the last moment trying to fight it.
Better than to just say goodbye and call it a day.)
( Letting his gaze drop for a moment, he sets his hand with the cinnaroll there on his leg and, leaning in some, he presses his brow to hers, blue eyes falling shut then. )
( The smile he wears is faint, brow resting there against hers, lips brushing over hers for that sweet kiss. It's why he came to see her like this before he sets off, right? )
I mean... not like I can compare to any of your sisters, but. I'll do what I can to help if you need it.
I know you mean it to be comforting, but actually, that's a very good thing.
(She won't explain further right now, especially when his lips are still close enough for her to take in a series of smaller kisses before she smiles against them.)
Think we've all got a bit of complicated in our lives.
( He knows he sure does, especially regarding his existence.
Eyeing her there, he presses another kiss to her lips, then trails them along her jaw and down her neck, leaving kiss after kiss after kiss on her while he still can. It's not forever ā he'll see her again. He just feels like showering her in affection before he needs to take off. Even if he's here at Kwik Trip. )
(He has no idea. The only reason why she isn't thinking about it or talking to him about it is because she doesn't think it's appropriate to get his mind off a mission, but when he's back? Welcome to the mess, Sophie Express.
Neither here or now, because he's just pressing kisses to the right places, her head tilting to give him better access along with a hand to his cheek that encourages him.)
Awfully distracting. Maybe I just don't let you go.
( Words he murmurs against the softness of her skin, trailing his lips back up to meet hers for another kiss that he lets go for as long as it does. Cinnaroll forgotten, he indulges in a different sort of sweetness and wraps an arm around her, pulling her in a little close as he lets that kiss deepen between them. It's just them here anyways. Maybe a bot or two, but. Just them. Which won't really be much of a thing for the couple weeks he's gone to Solmara. )
See. Think of all that you could be doing instead. Mostly, me.
(She wasn't exactly sure whether they were going to be something out in the open, but this kind of clears any questions she might have had. She doesn't care if they are, and clearly, Nate doesn't either, with the way is taking her lips and the fact she's not only allowing it, but she's letting a little soft noise into it as she wraps arms around him.)
( Nate's mind wraps around them like a warm blanket, shielding them from prying eyes of all types and unexpected visitors, making them invisible. More instinct than a genuine effort made ā that innate need to protect himself. When her arms wrap around him he chuckles light and soft against her lips there, nosing at her as his own hands hold to her waist. )
