( At the question, he shrugs, still fiddling with the bracelet that he keeps looking to. )

I don’t know. Just because, I guess.

( Telepaths can be hypocrites. They find it insulting for others to try and lie to them, then go and do the same thing to others. Granted, this isn’t Nate lying. He’s just… not really talking about it. Something else telepaths are bad at, what with always being able to feel everything. This is one of those times when he doesn’t really want to feel much at all, but. That involves shutting certain parts off, which he’s not looking to do. Not yet anyways.

Instead, he latches onto the gentle surprise still there with him at being gifted a bracelet and, finally, looks up from it to Wade there, holding that bracelet up some with a smile so soft it nearly masks the gloominess in his blue eyes. )

Thanks for this, though. You’re kind of weird but it’s not a bad thing. You almost feel the most normal to me sometimes.
