[He'd used the name both because Lazarus had used it earlier in the conversation, and because it is more concise. But seeing that reaction, Nathan makes a mental note to not do it again.]

He was piloting one of the mobile suits during the invasion. The last reports we got before fleeing indicated they were all still on the field. After that, we did not have the resources to track things as well as we had at Willow Ridge . . . [A soft sigh, remembering that. It had been a terrifying time. And he finds himself rather uncomfortable at the thought of someone with his appearance and even his Echoes being dead. Just a half a moment of equation, of putting himself in that place.]

As to his behaviour . . . while he showed no disapproval toward yours, and wound up causing confusion at the beginning, nothing indicated any inclination toward deliberate sabotage. [Didn't care if anyone got hurt, but also never set out to hurt anyone, essentially.

[He resists the urge to wind his fingers back into his hair, hearing that. Some of it he'd known already -- the bit about being locked in the closet by Tony's double -- but the rest is new to him, and very unsettling.] I did speak to him briefly when he first reappeared, but I ended that quickly. I have no desire to know what unpleasant things he has to say to me. So long as I do not have to engage him, I will not.

[The problem comes if Nathan ever has business outside of Shepherd's Haven and encounters him in person.]
