Tony's attitude isn't helping Nathan, to be honest; it just makes everything even more insane. He's not so easily fooled as to believe that Tony is taking the situation lightly, but the cavalierness is unsettling.
He doesn't flinch at the hand on his shoulder, even though it dredges up unpleasant memories -- shoved up against walls, pressed into them, thrown onto the floor. Don't react, don't react and it will stop.
He glances over his shoulder when the grip relaxes, watches the double expressionlessly as he orders him to speak. There isn't any point in not complying with it. With or without him, it's about to start.
"We're here." Hollow, empty just like his expression. His voice is quiet, but it carries well in this environment. "... Mind the water."
For whatever reason, holy water must be able to harm Tony; otherwise, why would Cesar's double have rigged things this way? He is not going to worry about reprisal for giving a warning. It's painfully obvious to Nathan that he's being positioned as a shield; the double isn't going to compromise that by punishing him for such a thing.
