"Excuse me?" The person asked, reeling Nathan back in from his wandering thoughts. He looked up at the owner of the smooth, open voice, only to face two bolts of green fire.

"Hi, my name's Sam. Sorry to interrupt but there's not many seats left, and..." There was one next to him.

"My name's Nathan, by the way. Nice to, um, to meet you." Sometimes Nathan forgets to smile when he speaks. Sometimes he can't be bothered. It was early, so he offered a nod, instead.

With a crooked grin that seemed to say 'Yeah, I get it', Sam repeated the word. "Nathan..." He looked out the window a few rows down, off into the distance and tapped the end of a pen against his bottom lip.

"I like it." Sam apparently decided.

Nathan blinked.

Then he scoffed lightly. "Glad that it meets your standards," he mumbled, shaking his head in amusement.

Sam only flashed his teeth in a smile that crinkled his eyes.
