Northstar Vale i'm not about to sit up here

edit: if you don't super need this for your trade, could we possibly cut this short/fade out? <3 I want to get Nathaniel's Tindómë threads wrapped up

If he came off as arrogant, Nathaniel wasn't paying enough attention to notice— in fact, he found himself oddly sluggish. Age?— lack of adrenaline, for some strange reason?— it didn't matter when Queenie slammed into him and he huffed, forced down by her weight but keeping his paws under him. The strange crouched position irritated him slightly, but not more than his own early failure. He was rusty— and that wouldn't do at all. The Rochester rose and simultaneously moved to slam his shoulder against Queenie, hoping to stun her. It was becoming clear he wasn't as fast as he used to be.
