He was trudging back from the parking lot with every intention of getting in the car, going back to the apartment and having a stiff drink, but the tree and the steadily growing crowd of people around it was a distraction he couldn't really ignore.
Not really in the mood to deal with people but not wanting to miss out on the festivities, he hung back a little bit, watching the holiday goings-on with mild interest. He'd talk if he was approached.

TSUNTSUN.

Before he had joined the crowd in the staring and decorating of the tree, he wrapped an arm around Falcon, grinning. "I've never seen a try this large in my life! It's amazing!"

Feeny was not on the list of people allowed to touch him.
And Falcon was not in the mood for brotherly love. Scowling, he raised a hand to petulantly remove the other man's arm from around his shoulder.
"It's a big one." He sighed, straining to be polite.

And hey! There was Falcon! Looking...ehh...
"You don't look well." he stated in a matter-of-fact voice.

He smiled a little and nodded in his friend's direction. "Hey." Ordinarily he'd be thrown off by comments about his health. But this was coming from Otacon, so...it was okay.
"I uh...just got out of a mediation session with Poo. You know. Jeff's friend."
He paused and sighed. "It was...interesting."
Reply
"Wow, it was...that bad? I'd been thinking about trying it out myself but...maybe I should just stick to listening to New Age music and calling it a day."

Falcon didn't think Otacon needed to hear about the leg-breaking arm-ripping eye-gouging bits. He...didn't need to hear it.
"That sounds like a good plan." There was another pause. "So what's up?"
Reply
He paused, realizing that no one else was around them right now, this was the perfect time to...
"Actually now that I think about it, we'd could stand to talk sometime. Umm...maybe later?" He meant without Samus and Snake, obviously.
Reply
He folded his arms and shifted his weight from one foot to the other. Otacon had never asked him to speak privately before.
"Uh...Sure. What about?"
Reply
"I'd rather if I'd explain later, if you don't mind. Just tell me when you have a few hours to spare...it would be appreciated."
Reply
"Yeah, of course. I don't really have a whole lot going on right now...spars aside. So I'm free whenever you are, basically."
Reply
"What's the matter, Falcon? Feeling alright today?"
Reply
Falcon guessed...well...hoped they could put that all behind them. Now that he had actually conversed with the man (relatively) in person, he was fairly certain that, miraculously, neither held a grudge and they could behave civilly.
"Eh." He answered. "Feeling a bit under the weather, really. And yourself?"
Reply
But that was behind them now.
"Tsk! Under the weather, that's no good. As for myself, I'm doing just fine. Any particular reason you're not feeling so hot? Don't like the cold or something?" Shut up, Wolf. Stop asking questions.

"I like winter as much as the next guy, I guess." Which was true. The advantage to winter was that one could always put more clothes on.
"Probably caught something from one of the kids, I guess." He lied. "There're a few colds going around."
