Christ almighty...

[It's said mostly to himself, but he's still staring at the boy in front of him like he's looking at a ghost. Except this ghost has apparently lived a completely different life than the one he knows he has.]

This Ingress really is a pain in the ass. [Understatement of the year really.] Guess that means some more proper introductions are in order. [He holds out his hand, much like he did when he first met him.] Victor Sullivan, friends call me Sully. But I guess your uh--older self already told you that, didn't he?

Ingress, time compression, experimental tech. [Everything's a pain in the ass!

[But despite his expression being on the polite side of skepticism, Nate shakes his hand, his grip stronger than it would have been at the other Nate's eighteen (thank you, Garden training).]

He said you were his best friend, yeah.

[Actually, he'd said "our", but this Nate doesn't know him well enough to put that claim on him. He also doesn't feel the need to introduce himself.]
