Admittedly, he'd done it a little bit just to watch Coop's reaction, because the guy is about as superstitious as anybody Nate has ever met and he gets something of a kick out of it. He gives Coop a wink, laughing as he shoves his shoulder.
He straightens up his own jacket, not that it's going to matter much when the light hopefully goes off momentarily. First he's got to trust Coop not to fuck that up, but he's reasonably confident they can pull this off.
"I don't even know you now," Nate replies, giving him a little shove to hurry him off. The less people who see them together now the better, just in case Coop is right and something does go wrong.
As soon as Coop is out of view, Nate slips into the midst of the crowd, slowly moving closer to the displays. The box is in the central display case with a gathering crowd around it. His eyes are already scanning the place for a diversion, just in case, but he's hoping he won't need it. Cutting the lights should be distraction enough, get people flustered and in a panic for just long enough to grab the thing and get out of there.
