[DiMA, funnily enough, would not be wrong in his assumption. There are few people for whom the greeting would be very different at all, but for now he's just damn glad to have come across anyone at all, let alone somebody that he recognises.
He makes a soft, uneasy sound in response to the synth's question and rubs the back of his neck, glancing around them as if doing so might miraculously conjure up another few people. There's a certain irony in what DiMA says, when Nate considers his own reaction to finding entire towns and cities completely deserted on his escape from the Vault, but this... this feels different. The abandonment of the nuclear-decimated buildings around Sanctuary Hills had felt old, like a thick layer of dust. This feels too new.
It reminds him of the war.]
Normally, I'd agree with you. [Nate replies, letting his hand drop back to his side.] But this place has more tricks up its sleeve than a street performer. I'd bet this isn't what it looks like.
