"Good answer," he smirked, playfully nudging her with his elbow. "I think I've talked your ear off about her enough for today, though... What about you? Just got here today, I assume."

"Me? Nah," he answered with a shake of his head. "I do a little bit of work down at the docks while I try to convince this guy with a woodworking shop that he should hire me. In the meantime, I just sorta keep to myself and fix things here that need to be fixed."

"Yeah, I'm the guy you come to," he laughed, his head nodding. "Just don't go breaking things on purpose so you have an excuse to find me, as tempting as it might be."

"Imagine that," he teased, his eyebrows arching playfully. He picked up his flask and took another drink. "You wanna finish it off?"

"Will do." She took it from him with a smile, polishing off the rest of the whiskey, making a face.

Nate couldn't help but laugh a little as he watched her make a face while she finished off the whiskey. "You gonna be okay, miss Trixie?" he asked, amused.

"Oh, I'll be fine, honey, don't you worry. Just 'cause the taste still gets to me don't mean I can't handle my liquor." She grinned at him.

"Alright, alright... just thought I'd ask!" He shrugged and leaned back against the side of the trunk, his eyes focused on the ceiling of the attic. "Hey, so umm, you want me to help you look for that blanket? I didn't mean to distract you from getting your things together."

"No, no, of course not. I just didn't to hold you up if you had some place to be, that's all," he explained with a grin. "Gotta be polite, sometimes, you know!"

He simply smirked and playfully nudged back against her arm. "What can I say?" he asked, a slight hint of bashfulness in his voice. "If April taught me anything, it was how to treat a lady."
