It probably was a lot to do with never having seen magic before but Nate truly did think it was amazing and he was impressed that Lucien was studying to become better at wielding the power he had.
"Maybe we can find some distraction techniques for when you feel the urge to drink" Nate suggested, having a drink or two was nice now and then but from what Lucien had said he didn't stop then.
Nate smiled, he couldn't help feeling that it meant something that Lucien had invited him into his room. He hadn't seen it before and he looked around taking note of everything as he snuggled in the nest which was on the bed. It was interesting to him to note that everything looked like it was in it's proper place. Control was obviously a thing for Lucien.
