[ This is the thing about Haven and working on its police force. When lately the majority of its 'crimes' are perpetuated by the Troubled, a person starts thinking in can't helps and how to help, at opposite ends. It doesn't affect the way Nathan does his job, but that kind of experience seeps in, affects the whys and hows.
Mostly the whys. Abigail is, at this point, on a certain list of possibles, and maybe that should make Nathan warier than he is. He is not given to think the best of people until they prove otherwise (nor is he particularly given to think the worst, but that's the other thing working in Haven does: the Troubled didn't ask to be what they are, but that doesn't remove the damage those Troubles can inflict); what he misses, in the midst of things that should have his back up, is her perception of him.
As things are he takes the camera out of his field of vision but doesn't put it down, straightens up and turns to face her. ]
Can't tell yet.
[ Faintly apologetic, but also procedural in its slight double meaning. Active investigation, etc etc. ]
