Matt has been out on the rooftops, trying to burn off some extra energy only to come back to his room and find out that he had been sexiled. Again

Dany was still in a foggy sort of good mood -- yes, days later -- but even that couldn't prevent some insomnia from creeping up on her, as usual. She took the dragons out for a walk through the dorms, Drogon clumsily attempting to fly beside her. When she came upon the boy watching television, she paused.
"What is that man doing?" she asked, tilting her head at the screen.
"Well apparently he's trying to catch catfish with his bare hands," Matt said tilting his head in curiosity at the sounds, scents and shapes of the dragons.
And Dany too. This is Matt after all. "Who's there?"
"Daenerys Targaryen," she said carefully, watching him as she moved into what she thought was his line of sight. She hadn't realized yet, no. "I don't think we've met yet. Hello."
"Matt Murdock," he replied. "And hello to you as well. And yes, I don't think we have met yet. And... are there some birds in here? I thought I heard flapping."
"You're all cute, but I was talking to you specifically," Kenzi said cheerfully, going over to the fridge to find food. Ice cream, thank God. "Matt, right? From Anarchy club?"
Anna was wandering around the dorms, as had become her wont, when she drifted into the third floor's common room. "Hello," she said, "what are you--" and then she realized it was that blind boy. "What's on the TV?" she asked instead.
Matt jumped a little bit at Anna's voice because...
Okay, ghosts just never show up on his radar, okay?
"Oh! Hi," Matt said quickly trying to cover up said jumping. "It's a show about a guy who goes and does jobs no one else wants to do. Right now he's catching catfish with his bare hands."
"That's a job?" Anna asked, confused. "Can't they just catch them with hooks or nets or something?"
She was very sorry to have startled him, but thought it might be rude to point out that she had. If she'd realized it was him she would have tried to make more noise before she spoke.
It was just a momentary jump. Matt was already looking more relaxed.
"Well apparently it involved sticking their arm into deep holes in the mud," Matt said with a frown. "If I'm hearing that correctly. I have no idea why they can't use a fishing pole."
Since Britta had spent a good chunk of the day getting things ready for APC tomorrow (yes, it was totally called APC, deal with it), it was easy for her mind to be on....certain things. And, with her mind on...certain things, she thought of maybe testing her luck and heading to the third floor to see what...certain things might transpire. She was distracted momentarily by some activity in the common room, backtracked a little, and went to have a little looksie.
Speak of the devil.
"Well, hey, there, Matt," said Britta, grinning and plopping down next to him on the couch, very closely. "I was just thinking of coming down and saying hi."
"Ugh, don't remind me," Britta murmured, glad that Matt couldn't see the face she made because it probably wasn't that attractive. "I almost lost that turtle, you know. I really shouldn't have taken it to that bar...."

Food! Alternative! Also, hanging with people... and hello, cute.
"Hello, cutie!"
Yeah, with Kenzi, the subtext was equivalent to text this week.

"Hey," she said, so Matt might at least recognize her voice.

"Stacey," Matt said with a grin. "Hi. Thank you for the flowers! They were very nice."
Until Rebecca threw them out of course.

"You were there?" he asked looking disappointed. "Now I'm sorry I didn't go. Unfortunately I'm not much of a dancer."
And there was a slight pause before asking...
"Did you go with anyone?"

Wait did she say something about a turtle?
"Maybe the turtle was really thirsty?" Matt suggested. "I mean you were at least trying to help, right?"
