There was so much going on in front of Nate that it was almost too much to keep track of. Ruined volleyball game, naked Kuro, Eli Craigh out for blood and penises, Cer and...another Cer...Wait. What the...?

He watched the goings on before him, half confused, half annoyed and half aroused. "Girl fight!" a voice in his head screamed as the Cer's wrestled. After creating several hundred copies of himself over the years, Nate had become skilled at determining the differences between two seemingly identical things and after a moment he picked out the Cer that he knew. Of course the conversation between the two helped...a little. He watched without interfering until Cer was blasted against a tree. With a sigh he split off a duplicate as the imposter Cer (impostcer?) handed down her judgement of Kuro. Another duplicate was spawned.

The first duplicate wandered off towards Cer stuck to a nearby tree and smiled at her as he said "Cer, you didn't tell me you had a twin. We could have gone on a double date." Much quieter he added "But it seems like everyone has a twin these days" He prodded at whatever the hell was holding Cer to the tree and regained his volume as he rambled on "Of course I get along much better with my brothers than you seem to do with whatserface over there...Most of the time anyway. Sometimes they get weird, y'know? Kinda obnoxious and loud. It grates on you after a while. All that talking. Sometimes you just need to shut up and..." Nate continued to prattle on in a seemingly neverending train of thought style while he examined Cer's prison, looking for a way to get her free.

Meanwhile, the second duplicate had wandered over past Insomnium, waving a hand at him as he passed and saying "I'm not even going to ask". He made his way to Kuro and hauled him to his feet, locking the brat in what he thought was a light headlock but he actually applied quite a bit of pressure to Kuro's head and neck. "Hold your horses, crazy pants!" he barked at the impostcer "I know the kids annoying, creepy, is a horrible pervert, has terrible table manners and smells awful but I can't just let you skin him alive" He narrowed his eyes at her and asked "Seriously, who does that anyway? Crazy people. That's who". He then turned his attention momentarily to Eli and said with a friendly smile "Hey Opie, you're looking good."

While the duplicates dealt with the various shenanigans, Nate made his way back to Aya and, with a surprisingly quiet tone, informed her "I need to find the other two. Can you show me where you saw them?" He was still concerned about ensuring Mu wasn't on a killing spree but more than that he simply wanted to make sure Jackson was okay. He couldn't quite explain why he was so concerned about the kid or why he wanted to keep him safe. Or even why he was defending Kuro. He couldn't remember the reasons behind his own actions and that bothered him.
