Since the beginning, Natsuno has been intimidated by Thatch, which is probably what he was going for at the time, but it was incredibly effective, being that Natsuno was very much some kid from the middle of nowhere.
While he drifted, he actively avoided Thatch. It hasn't been that long since he's come around to his senses, but he's thrown himself into it headfirst and is mildly surprised to find Thatch waiting for him. His help and instruction was greatly appreciated, and Natsuno was a little surprised Thatch could read him so well.
Most of his uneasiness is lingering and mostly unfounded at this point. It won't take long for it to dissipate, although getting the tattoo is a big help towards eradicating it. He has always held a strong level of respect for Thatch, even if he was personally intimidated, but he doesn't know that much about him.
Natsuno is looking forward to learn more from Thatch because he's looking to carve a life out of this place for himself, a second chance because going home is a death sentence. To do this he needs to acquire more skills, and Thatch can help him there.
That isn't to say that he would ask for more time with him, it's just something that if it happens, he'll appreciate it all the more.
Natsuno hasn't forgotten about him. Without Sora, he wouldn't be on this crew, and that's pretty important. They haven't talked in awhile and they should, not just because they are friends, but he is also Riku's best friend and Natsuno cares a great deal about Riku.
He feels a little bad about being caught in Sora's room and they're definitely not going to repeat that mistake, although he might like to come visit Riku for something a lot more innocent in the future.
There's an awkward conversation in their future, but hopefully they can salvage their friendship. It's harder to talk to Sora when he's on the Moon. It just takes more effort, effort he is willing to put in.
