[ is standing near the entrance of the starbucks where he had first met nathan, looking strangely compliant & calm as he listens & reacts (as quietly & discreetly as he's capable) to the bustling crowd of the afternoon. it's not so busy as to give him a headache, but busy enough to keep him entertained as he waits for his teammate/friend. ]

If Nathan is okay, then is okay.

[prideofmusic.livejournal.com]

Exactly! [ shifts so he's standing as tall as his body will allow, arms crossing once more. ] S-so let's find you a house! Or whatever!

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

Ja! House for party!

[prideofmusic.livejournal.com]

Not for party. For living in.

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

Live too, ja. But party with team is important.

[prideofmusic.livejournal.com]

[ waves the comment off with a hand. ]

We can have a party anywhere. Find something that you'll like living in, first.

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

Any house is okay. Quiet is good, but live is easy?

[prideofmusic.livejournal.com]

... you really don't care where you live, do you.

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

Nein. I have more important thing to care.

[prideofmusic.livejournal.com]

Oh? Like what?

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

. . .

Very important is team. Protect team is first important thing.

[ eventually lifts a hand again, instead patting caleb's shoulder this time. ]

Well, doesn't hurt to think about yourself once in a while too, okay? We're not in life-threatening situations all the time.

Ja, but Nathan is nice. See Nathan with team, and talk to Nathan alone. Nathan listen and help when need help. Nathan is good person.

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

Many good... erm thing to trust.

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

[ reaches out to hold one of nathan's hands in both of his, once again in a way to emphasize his words. ]

And for mission, trust Nathan to live. So need trust.

[ looks elsewhere in thought, trying to find the right words to say. ]

[prideofmusic.livejournal.com]

[ finally his fingers sort of curl in caleb's hold, eyes directing themselves down to the pavement as he tries to think of a proper reply. ]

I... think I could start trusting you too. Maybe. But it'll take a while.

[echolocating.livejournal.com]

. . . ! Ja! I wait and I work hard!

[prideofmusic.livejournal.com]

[ shakes his head. ]

You don't need to work hard, just... be yourself.
