As much as being told that he fucked things up wasn't the most pleasant thing, this was actually amusing him. Clearly, this boy had never met an alternate before, and by how irritated he seemed, he was not taking it well. Keeping his hands in his pockets, Nate watched this boy huffily snapping at him, finding it more and more difficult to not see him as a kid being too angry because someone was copying them.
That was only made more amusing when the boy actually had the guts to ask him to give him money. This kid didn't really know much about the world, did he? Tilting his head, Nate let out a sigh.
"No, I really exist, and Nate is my name, not something I'm stealing. Considering how much younger you seem, I'd say that you came after me, anyway, so you would be taking my name, but thankfully, these things don't work out like that. We just happen to be similar. I've seen it happening countless times before, and it's really not that big a deal, so calm down, kid." Nate replied in a calm voice, rolling his shoulders. To think that an alternate of his would be actually trying to scavenge for food in Castelia City, and begging a stranger for money... clearly, his survival skill was something that was not natural to his alternates.
It sort of made him feel a little proud. Too bad that he had to deal with this kid right now.
"Now, first things first. Usually, when you're going to ask someone for money, you don't start insulting them first before asking them for charity." Nate replied in a calm tone, placing his hands on his hips as he tried to stop himself from showing how amused he really was. "However, since I'm such a charitable person, I'm willing to pay you a meal. I've had a good night so far, so why not?"
He just hoped that he had the patience to put up with this guy through his dinner. Really, bless his soft heart. In the end, though, it was just a way to spend his time until he recovered enough to be confident that he could get another client and handle it as perfectly as necessary.
