(Not totally wasted, just a little drunk/tipsy so he can relax and loosen up. Sound good?)
Maurice was a charmer, that was for sure. And his words were working their magic on Nate. By referring to the government officials as “brutal idiots” and opening up to Nate about his personal life, Maurice was slowly breaking down Nate’s walls. For the first time within the brief period of knowing each other, Nate was able to relate to Maurice.
“He was forced into this just like me” Nate thought to himself as Maurice continued to open up. Nate smiled and sipped his champagne as Maurice spoke about his mother and how he lives with her during the weekends and holidays. “He clearly loves her. That’s sweet” Nate thought. This side of Maurice was never shown in the tabloids.
Maurice stopped talking and Nate took it as his cue to tell Maurice a little about himself. By this point, Nate was starting to feel the champagne. With his guard slightly down and the champagne kicking in, Nate began to open up to Maurice.
“I’m from a small town on the coast. My parents own a small tourism business. I have two older brothers. One of my brothers is married, the other is not.” Maurice was smiling down at Nate as he talked. He seemed legitimately interested in hearing about Nate’s background. Nate took another swig of his champagne. “My 20th Birthday was a few days ago. I have never lived outside of my hometown. And, until the other day, I had only been to the capital city twice. So, to be honest, I’m a little nervous about living so far from home and in a strange place.”
Nate took another sip of his champagne. It was going down quickly. It must be his nerves that were causing him to drink so fast. “Also, I want you to know that I know who you are and that I’m sorry for being so quiet earlier. I was just caught off guard seeing you, Maurice Durham, in person right in front of me. And of course all of the other stuff that’s happened over the past few days.” Nate took another nervous sip of his champagne. “I said too much” He thought to himself as he nervously awaited Maurice’s response.
