As Cer explained her confusion over the 'large animal petting zoo', Nate gently nodded his head up and down. He could understand her confusion. This city was all kinds of crazy. It's residents even more so. If you weren't from around here, he supposed, he whole damn city could be considered a circus. Before he had a chance to reply to her explanation though, there was a rather unexpected appearance.

Nate knew who Light was. [i]Everyone [/i]knew who Light was. It was hard, if not impossible to live in LA and not have at least some knowledge of the toon. He sighed slightly upon seeing the hero, his arm still wrapped loosely around grey girls shoulder. He understood the need for people like Light in this world. Someone to stand out like a beacon of hope that maybe the world wasn't as dark and evil as it seemed at times. People liked to look up to heroes like Light.

But Nate had been trained to act the exact opposite way. He was all about stealth. Operating out in the open like Light did would compromise operations. His way of working was so ingrained into his being at this point that being around characters like Light aggravated him slightly. He knew that if he spent too much time around her, the spotlight would eventually shine on him. A prospect he was entirely uncomfortable with. Of course she wouldn't have approached without a reason and he figured the best way to get rid of her would be to find out what she wanted.

As his new buddy admitted that Light was one of her icons, Nate crossed one of his legs over the other and almost leaned on Cer in a manner that implied they were far closer than they actually were. "How can we help you today?" he asked with a well practiced smile.
