Nathaniel's reaction to Eva's secret grab was also in secret, thankfully, because of the billowy half robes he still wore. Were his pants tight... it would not have been so covert. He silently bid farewell to Loki, thanked Baldr more warmly, and generally ignored Thor's goading, all while never completely releasing Eva. A newly dubbed Major finally made an impatient move from behind him. "Shhh," Nate attempted to calm the horse which he'd apparently made. "Find the stables out of the palace, you can bother the goats until we find you someplace of your own," he quietly instructed Major, who after making clear eye contact with both him then Eva slowly trotted away. When he reached the window his wings propelled him up and out. "I hope Troy is out there," Nate added with a smirk.
"I'm oddly invigorated," Nate replied to Thor with his eyes focused on Eva. "It was about you," he shared more quietly. "I would have never returned had my feelings for you not been true," he explained then planted his lips on Eva's forehead.
