Nathan, felt Tona's hand on his shoulder. He suprised at himself when he flinched a little, and his only thought was 'This flight suit is dirty she should not be touching it.'
Her words were kind and well meant, he could tell. THe beast grumbled and slumbered once more. His breathing, which had been so fast before now calmed and slowed. She did not seem to require a response as she had begun to talk with Benedict. In fact tell him off was perhaps more accurate. Nathan tried his best no to giggle, the tea had ordered arrived in front of him. Nathan grabbed the cup and drank to cover his laugh. He immediatly regretted it as he began coughing. 'Oh Creator forgive me.' He thought.
Benedict had been there when he had joined the Enclave. In the handful of times he had seen Benedict, Nathan came away with one conclution. Benedict, Nathan thought was like a man who followed you into a revolving door and came out first. A man to be wary and respectful of.
Nathan listened to Tona say,"If it is prudent for you to know, it seems that the Administrator of this Freeport will be accompanying us back to the Temple. I suggest that you make sure that you are ready, that is if you are to join us in returning to Gran Canaria at this time."
Nathan wondered if that meant he should come to. Unlikely Freeport 1 may have been safer than it had been in a while, but it still needed protection. Nathan took another sip of tea.
