Re: Brian/Nate
Nate was more at home at this party than he had been during his entire stay here. Politicians he could deal with far better than assault weapons and he knew enough about the military from his father and other family members to behave correctly in their presence. He'd been brought up to converse in polite society and Nate had never disappointed in that respect - It had been as much a part of his life as learning how to tie his shoelaces. It definitely didn't hurt that he got to wear a tux again which, for Nate, made the evening. He liked well-made clothes and he had been in out of of suits and tuxes since he was small.
Still, whilst he was enjoying himself, he still stayed close to the group of people he did know. It was strange to think of this group of people as family but they were in a way. They were all stuck in the same position and they just had to make the best of it.
"Are you enjoying yourself?" Nate asked Brian as he found himself turning away from a conversation and next to the other man. "Is it wrong that this is the most comfortable I've been since getting here?"
