Nocturne laughed as Asher tried to make it seem as if he really was just a pimp looking for someone new. If he hadn't already figured things out, being called 'son' by someone that didn't look that much older would have tipped him off to being in the presence of a much older being.
"Agreed on that point," he opted to keep his reply short and simple and not let on that he knew who Asher was or what he might actually be looking for. Nocturne didn't know how the packs worked but he assumed not every wolf was an accidental turning and that most would be scouted or at least intentionally turned for whatever reason. Asher might be considering him, or would if he had been given more clear cut answers. But Nocturne knew if he confessed to being a null, he would be sought out for other reasons and affiliated with the pack, just not by bond.
He followed Asher's gaze when the woman was mentioned and tried to sort out why he was being given an easy out. Either Asher had decided he wasn't what was desired or he hoped to get Nocturne interested enough to stay and be more forthcoming or to seek him out later on. As attractive as the man was, Nocturne didn't think he would intentionally seek Asher out again.
"Agreed on that as well. I was looking for more of a challenge when I arrived but sometimes easy is all that is really needed. It's been something close to a pleasure," Nocturne nodded in parting before weaving back through the crowd to chat up the girls. He'd give them a dance but ny the end of the second song together he would be gone and taking the long and twisting route home again just in case.
