Nathan hesitates for a moment, unsure of how to proceed. He looks down at Zack and sees the fear in his tiny eyes. The two exchange a silent glance before Nathan turns back to the man with an uneasy smile, while covering Zack with his hand.
"Uh yeah sure, we can talk," he says nervously.
The man leans closer, invading Nathan's personal space as he speaks in hushed tones.
"I couldn't help but notice you were hiding something there," he nods towards Nathan's pocket where Zack was hidden under Nathan's hand.
Nathan stiffens up and shifts uncomfortably in his seat. His mind races wondering if this stranger had somehow figured out what they were really doing on this flight or if it was just mere coincidence that he noticed Zack's presence.
"Oh...uhh yeah," is all that comes out of Nathan’s mouth as sweat beads across his forehead.
The stranger persists though "Is everything alright? Do you need any help?"
Dozens of thoughts run through Nathan’s head, who is this guy? Is he just being nice or does have some motive by insisting so much?
"No.. No thanks! I’m good." He tries to sound confident while mustering up every bit of courage possible within himself; which wasn’t much right now.
"Well, I am sorry, looks like I invaded your space and you weren't expecting me." The man said in a sad tone, thinking he made someone uncomfortable with his effort. "Sorry again, I'll leave you alone" The man turns back to his seat. Nathan feels bad and he wanted to say something, "No wait, it's just that...."
