Oh, Nathan had so very badly wanted to do something like that. Though his version would have been clamming up entirely and shuffling out as soundlessly as possible.

"Yes, I've just picked them up recently." Said in that usual monotone, no sign at all that this is unusual. As far as Nathan is concerned, it isn't. While he's perfectly aware that he hasn't been behaving this way until recently, he doesn't think to question it. Playing with the toys feels natural and calming. Really, he should have brought the ones from home, but he hadn't been thinking of it at the time.

He picks up the other robot; it's this one's turn to fly.
