Nathan knows the routine by now. Reginald had thought it would be smart to have Nathan as one of the first to protect the others from Derek whenever the effects of the full moon would kick in, because he knew that Nathan would be able to take it. Not just because of his accelerated healing, but if things got bad enough, he could shock him to try and keep him in place. Not that Nathan ever actually considered doing that, but Reginald often brought it up the next morning, especially if things got rough.
"I don't have to remind you of what you can do, do I?" he'd scold, the anger and disappointment showing in his face at the fact that Nathan wouldn't use his powers on his brother. It always feels like a test, one that Nathan doesn't care to pass, and who knows. Maybe that's one more reason Reginald never considers him for the main group, but that's fine with him.
Just how it's fine with him that he can be here to help Derek. As his face shifts, Nathan is quick to step in as he tries to subtly motion to Allison to get out of dodge. With a low whistle under his breath, he tries to get Derek's attention back.
"What, don't want to play today?" He says it tauntingly, as if to redirect his aggression his way. "C'mon, grumps. Don't leave me waiting."
