[To even bother responding or not? You're obviously... well.
Allen has to resist the urge to rub his temples a bit, Matt. The last time he saw you you were giggling like an idiot, and now...
Sigh. He kind of blames you for what... er... happened that night, too. Mostly Alan, but also you.
Pretending the drunkeness isn't there because sure, it's a question he's wondered, too, and eventually the other will be sober again. And actually, he... is even less sure how old he is now...]
[Ohhh, it's this guy. Allen, right! Matt's talked to him once since the party, but it was brief and all business. Now that little twist of sarcasm makes him realize he never apologized.]
Thanks? [he returns, in the same tone.]
Dude, hey, listen, 'm sorry about, um. That. Like, we wouldn't usually have... [Alcohol-induced honesty compels him to change his tune halfway through.] Okay, we might've, but we woulda gone home, or been quiet, or something. That punch was spiked!
[Um. A flustered apology at mention of oh god that punch from Mukuro, he's so sorry, he really did keep throwing that stuff out is halted. Something's wrong with that statement. He meant more the things you gave him that have ruined brownies for him for all time.
Such a blank, but slowly suspicious expression for a second. His instincts... they're screaming silently at him.]
Quiet...? What are you talking about?
[There were a lot of people being loud and obnoxiously, namely some of the people he lived with, but he doesn't recall those two doing anything egregious... but then he had been a little distracted. Constantly.]
[Matt assumed everyone knew. Loren (gah, Loren) said as much. But if by some miracle, Allen didn't get the memo, Matt is not gonna spell it out for him. He leaps for the other topic like it might save him.]
Anyway, time! Your way totally makes sense, 'cause it was January in my world, an' summer when I got here, and that's stupid.
So, hey! Maybe I didn' get to m'birthday, like, a week after I got here the way I thought.

[Oh hey there - Elfangor leans into the frame over Matt's shoulder, waving at Allen. Clearly he's been drinking by this point as well.]
Allen! Hello! I... [He makes an "I am thinking about my words really hard" face.] apologize for any loudness that may have detracted from the party. [It doesn't even occur to him to apologize for having sex in someone else's house. Or for the brownies, because really, they were magic brownies and therefore an excellent idea.]
I don't suppose Lavi has seen my chapstick anywhere? [Distractedly,] Maybe it rolled under his bed... hmm.

[Oh, this is too much.]
Elfangor.
What is exactly going on between you and Matt?
[Because if Jake is here, he will just die. He and Cassie worked so hard to make their duty first, their relationship second. Just seeing this with Elfangor of all people is causing a serious case of whiplash, and he's been spending his time indoors thanks to the winter cold.]
I mean, it was an emergency! There was hyperspace. [He manages to look marginally more serious.]
And! [He concentrates for a minute. There was a serious topic they were discussing, wasn't there?] Right. It should only be, like, March. But almost a whole year's gone by in a few months.
[Elfangor is still draped all over Matt when he mumbles idly into his drink,] Chapstick seemed to be a perfectly acceptable substitute for lube at the time.
[Sorry Allen, but you ought to know by now that Elfangor and tact get on like water and oil.]
[And now he's finally taking an interest in this other topic.] Time in this place is strangely dilated, I've noticed. While seasons shift much more rapidly than they ought to for the number of days passed, the days themselves, the hours... do not pass as they should.

Happy birthday. [It's a little sarcastic.]
Reply
[The longer they're here, the more that feels... odd. They're all assuming different times then, aren't they?]
Seasons might be a better way. It's not perfect, but it makes sense.

He's my boyfriend.
[He's grinning goofily, because he's still not used to saying it.]
The best boyfriend. [He touches his restored goggles for a second as he says this.]
That was what I meant, man, when I wanted t'know if y'were pissed.

Matt, don't you have a girlfriend?
[And Marco raises his voice so Elfangor doesn't have the excuse of being too sloshed to hear him.]
And weren't you married, Elfangor?
Reply
's all you, man.
Reply
[Well, no shit he was married. That's an especially odd question, coming from a friend of his child who was a product of that relationship.]
I fail to see how that is relevant.
Reply
[Do you two always move in a pair? Well.. you just... apologized at least. But for absolutely the wrong reason. But it's something.
But hold on a moment there.]
What? ...
[This is his attempting to be patient face.]
Alan, why would something of yours have rolled under Lavi's bed?
[He's only just resisting rubbing his temples. Please, can we move on.]
But... yes. Ah, Matt, that is. It was similar when I arrived, actually. December and only spring here.
[A shrug, a little sheepish of a smile then.] It makes more sense to celebrate things in winter when it feels like winter, I guess.

[Matt's beaming.]
