It seemed even though Nick had just met Mr. Gatsby, they recognised eachother from the Third-Devision during the war. Also Nick didn't know it was Mr. Gatsby at first, but he gave him a smile that was "much more then understandingly. [He had] one of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it...with irresistible prejudice in your favor."
Just these couple sentances show that Mr. Gatsby is a caring and understanding person. Nick can't help but always notice his very rare smile that is always confident and reassuring. Nick meantions it again later on in these chapters but is more annoyed then relieved by it because it can deviate the issue they may be dealing with.
