Nathan can't act the part of sociable even under normal circumstances; he just doesn't know how. That this isn't a normal circumstance is not helping his general lack of skill in this area.

And easy for you two to pretend everything is normal, maybe. You weren't the ones who had a gun pressed to your head by someone who shared the same face as one of the people in this room.

Calm down. Just calm down. He winds a finger into his hair, hoping it will soothe his nerves a little. It usually does, and garners fewer strange looks than the toys do. He does not need any judgemental staring if he takes one out of the backpack and starts fiddling with it. That would not help him at all.

"There are benefits, but many of them are over-stated. If it was just for the caffeine, your co-worker would have been better served with black as it typically has a higher content."

Look, he's even managing to talk to Cesar. This is progress. Maybe. Even if it's just talking about caffeine levels in beverages. Completely impersonal topics. He can do this.
