[ Jesse's eyes widen a little at boyfriend. He's from 2010 in a flyover state, and maybe Nate asking if he was hitting on him when he'd told him about the zadza should have been a clue, but it's something else to just hear it confirmed. For Nate to just...say it like that.

At least he manages not to say anything stupid. He's not disgusted or anything, just a little rocked by Nate's candidness. And maybe a little more curious than he would have been before his own less than heterosexual encounter in the woods a few weeks ago. He nods, giving him a sympathetic glance. ]

Yeah, I know, man.

I don't think it counts as cheating if you gotta do it to keep from...from hurtin' someone, though. You know?
