So. Matt's girlfriend, his... whatever Elfangor is, and Ax right outside, and Matt's best friend, whom he loves, probably, in some way he's not all that interested in examining too closely, all mostly under one roof.
This can only end well, right?
Matt has a cigarette hanging on his lower lip, of course, by the time he pokes his head out to confirm it's Mello who's arrived. They still have shit to sort out, but not in front of J. That'd be a recipe for Mello clamming up. So all Matt says is:] Hey, M.

Hey.
[At least they've done alright for themselves, he thinks. It could've been so much worse, what with the shit this place throws at people. He closes the door behind him, gives Matt a once-over, and this is all that's required of him, right? Mello's always been shit at appearing grateful. Must have something to do with feeling like something is owed to him, always.]
I won't be here long. [This is his version of "Thanks for having me."] A month, at the most, though I'm aiming for less.

[She gestures toward a crumbled paper, a newsletter of the Yomisato variety. Jessica reads it all the time now, and there's is constant mention of the "great substance from Other Worlds". It brings a smile to her face usually, but something she caught in the other Celestial newsletter on the Hitomi disturbed her, but she's not sure what.]

The room's just sitting empty, [he says, which has the advantage of being true.] You might as well use it.
[He gives Mello a look that he hopes conveys the fact that they need to talk. There are things. Things Matt wants to tell him before he hears them from anyone else, and things Mello needs to fucking spill, already. Matt's used to interpreting his best friend's actions, but he's also out of practice, and he's not sure if Mello coming here is the act of someone with nowhere else to go, or simply him taking advantage of the best opportunity he's been given.]
