[If Nate sounds tired and cranky, it's because he is. Still injured from the mission, having the psychic feedback of everyone grumpy about the whole exploding spaceship thing bouncing around his head - yeah. Not a happy camper here. Which is probably also why he sounds a bit defensive.]

Look, at least nobody died, alright?

[Filtered to Raiden and Nikolas Kamarov | Video]

[...Yeah, he looks about as tired as he sounds. Sorry, new roomies.]

Hi. I'm Nathan. Don't touch my stuff. That goes double for the coffee - and if you do, I'll know.

Don't I know it.

[solitaire]

Though, since we're talkin' about it, bourbon'd be better than wine.

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

Noted, and agreed. Though I'd settle for a decent beer around here.

[solitaire]

Few a' the taverns ain't so bad, for that.

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

Good enough to take the edge off the world, maybe. I haven't found a place that serves something worth appreciating on it's own merit.

[Charles Xavier taught him about beer. He has Opinions.]

[solitaire]

This is why everyone should be like me. I nick some a' the decent stuff when they send us back an' forth.

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

That's my plan for the next mission. Coffee came first.

[Coffee always comes first]

[solitaire]

...nice priorities.

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

Sleep gets harder the older you get, I've found. [Okay, and all the years of vigilance and nightmares have worn their way into him by now]

[solitaire]

Really? 'Cause I didn't think it was easy, ta begin with.

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

Not going to argue with you, there. Product of the lives we've lived, I guess.

[solitaire]

Insomnia's the first symptom a' insanity. Should we be worried?

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

Depending on who you ask, I probably passed that point a long time ago.

[He is well-aware of the opinions some of the other X-Men - even the ones he's friends with - have of him. 'Driven' is usually the adjective they choose when being polite]

[solitaire]

More than prob'ly.

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

And what would you tag as my fatal flaw? [He sounds both amused and curious]

[solitaire]

Other than bein' bull-headed, y'mean?

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

Other than that - that one I fully admit to.

[solitaire]

If I know, maybe I won't tell. That'd be playin' a hand too early.

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

I could just drag it out of your head, you know.

[solitaire]

An' I could just blow off your head. Doesn't mean I will.

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

Let's just call that entire thing a route neither of us would like to go down.

[solitaire]

I'll hold you, ta that.

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

And vice versa - I rather like my head how it is right now.

[solitaire]

If you ever change your mind, y'can let me know.

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

Pretty sure if you're that eager to blow some brains up, you can find someone who actually deserves it.
