Nathan looked at me silently for quite a while after I told him there was nothing that needed to be completed in the near future.

He appeared to be stunned like he didn't think that was even a possibility.

I shrugged my shoulders as an awkward smile formed on my face.

"Well, we could take a break. Although it's something you hardly ever follow, that was the advice you gave to me. And this is more or less the perfect opportunity."

Nathan blinked a few times before staring off like he was looking into the void. He seemed to have mixed feelings about it.

"I..."

I let out a small sigh since I kinda saw this coming. He tended to push himself harder and harder whenever the pressure started to settle in. So even when everything was fine, his mind was still in full adrenaline rush mode.
