Nathaniel wrings out his hair, eyeing Asher. It's weird to hear Asher talk of prom and movies because, so far, their own dates have consisted of going out to dinner and sex. He wonders if Asher's ever even been to a movie theatre.

"Anita thinks I'm damaged because I didn't have those things. It also amuses me that both of you assume I would have taken a girl to prom or the movies." He shrugs, grabbing the soap and washing the dried blood from his body, ignoring the stinging. "My family didn't have money, so affording prom would have been impossible. As for the movies..." Nathaniel bends over, scrubbing down his legs. "What I did have made me who I am." He stands up, looking defiantly at Asher. "If I hadn't been on the road I was, I wouldn't have been made a wereleopard, I wouldn't have found Anita, and I never would have made my way into your bed. I rather like where I am, even if it means I lost out on things normal people had as children."
