( Scott's anger gets his gaze to lift — gets those bright blue eyes of his to gently stare to the other mutant and he's... quiet. Shielding himself, even. Not wanting all the things Scott is feeling right now to splatter all over him. Being empathic like he is, it sucks sometimes, just as much as it does being a telepath.
Licking over his lips, he shakes his head, dropping his gaze again. )
Just because that's why I was made, doesn't mean it has to be that way for me.
( It's what he's been telling himself — what he's told Sinister himself and what he wants out of the time he has left to him in this life he never asked for. To find some semblance of normalcy within the chaos that is his life and live it, the best that he can, without being used as a weapon in anyone's war. )
I'm figuring it out. Or trying to but... something always happens when I do. Or that's how it was back on Earth anyways.
[He offers, almost bluntly. Scott's glad that Nate doesn't think of himself as a weapon, because obviously he's more than that, and so he can spare him that particular lecture. That anger dissipates again, always something that rises quickly before dying down, at least for right now. There's that lingering question if it's just Sophie's timeline, the main timeline it feels like, that's so fucked up with people getting mutant DNA or something that just happens.
...Is it happening in his world and he just doesn't know about it?
But he quickly shifts his attention back to Nate, who is still quiet and solemn and... maybe just a little moody. Hm, why does that feel familiar--]
Something fucked up always happens, right? And now you're here, with asshole mutants that are from your future and your asshole dad.
( Something always happens, yeah. Seems to be a running theme with being a mutant. Granted, it's a little more... personal drama?? than mutant-related here. Back on the Earth he's found himself on now, it's more about who he is and what he can do than anything else, but. He's still had a couple moments in his personal life that have been very... difficult, for lack of a better word.
He looks to Scott when he says what he does and he shakes his head before he looks back down. )
You're just Scott.
( It's said as a means to alleviate the pressure of feeling as though he needs to be that for or to him because... it's weird. For the both of them. For different and similar reasons. )
It doesn't have to be or mean anything else between us.
