Before Nathan could even think of a response, he let out a yelp as he was shoved forwards a few inches. Looking back, he saw Cassandra awkwardly giving a greeting with the hand which held that wine bottle. Oh, geez, she must be drunk, huh...uh...should I steady her? No, wait, she might consider that rude or something...but what if she ends up crashing into something again? Uh, uh, uh, crap, uh...

"Uh, y-yeah, that's right...t-this is Chess," he stuttered, trying to get his bearings straight again. Man, why do I panic so goddamn easily...? "And, uh, yeah...y-you can come with us, Chess. Even though...you'd think we'd have found it by now, heh..."

Looking around, he tried to remember which way they had been going before meeting Chess. Wait, but that was the way from which she came, and she couldn't find it either...maybe it'd be that way, then? "Hm...maybe we should try this way?" Nathan suggested, pointing in the direction Chess had originally been walking towards. "I don't think we passed that one earlier, after all..."

He started to walk in the indicated direction, but paused briefly to consider something. Finally, he let out a sigh, mentally steeled himself for any possible tongue-lashing he'd receive, and took Cassandra's hand in his own. Then he started pulling her along, trying not to be too forceful. With the artist being somewhat drunk, it was probably a good idea to guide her.

"Okay then...come on, Chess," Nathan called, actually turning back to make sure she was coming along this time. As he kept walking, he wondered if he should try talking with either girl some more...but couldn't even think of a single thing to talk about.
