"Figured as much," he confirmed. "Didn't seem like anyone else was living in that apartment, at least." Though that didn't necessarily discount an older sibling who had moved away, huh? Her words had already discounted that directly, though, so it wasn't really any kind of matter for concern.
He pocketed his hands with a sideways frown, "Eh, nothing new. ******** parents came to mind, is all." Anywhere else, he would have felt inclined to drop it at that, but it felt like an injustice to Ellia to not take the opportunity to slander them in her presence. "They dropped her like a dead weight as soon as it started to look like she wouldn't wake up any time soon. Not visiting or even paying a piece of the expenses. Woulda done them proud if I'd denied all relation to her."

Of course he wouldn't think that, her apartment was far too small even for the three people living in it. Or even if she was there alone, it would be too small, although she didn't bother to voice any of that. However, she obviously wasn't expecting any sort of admission as the one he gave her, and the surprise was evident on her face. "That's... that's awful," she finally said. She couldn't even imagine - what if she were comatose, and her parents ditched her like that..? They wouldn't though, not ever. Still.. Nate's parents had. Ellia was their daughter though, why didn't they even care? "Why would they do that..?" Wait. Not paying for it either -- that brought to mind the one-sided conversation he was having with her before she interrupted (and she pointedly avoided thinking how weird that was, talking to a comatose person), and the mention of different jobs and knights in shining armor taking over, whatever that meant.. Except it was making a little more sense now. If his parents weren't paying for her, that meant.. "So you're paying for everything...?" Wasn't hospital stuff really expensive? Like, that's why people had health insurance and stuff, to help take care of the costs associated with hospital visits.. Surely he couldn't be paying for all of it, that would just be silly. Silly and stupid - he was only 20. Clearly his age alone exempted him from that kind of s**t.

"They're ashamed of her," he said in a low voice, bright eyes dim. "'Cause she let herself go completely off the deep end and got herself into this mess. She'd been jerking my parents around forever, and this was the last straw." Neither of them were anything close to a golden child, but even Nate was often frustrated by Ellia's inability to hold a job and her flippant attitude towards her responsibilities. At her inquiry about the bill, he raised a hand to scratch absently at his head, "Yeah, I am now. Cory, a mutual friend of ours, helped out in the beginning, but it wasn't really his responsibility in the first place, so…"
