Birkin himself hadn't been out much since then. Having decided to hold himself up in his apartment, with good reason of course. He wouldn't admit to anyone that he was having a hard time controlling himself around people, so this was also a test for him. Being around others who were not infected took a great toll out of him, and it made him want to do things that was not normally part of his character. He felt if he needed to he could always say he was just anti-social, because this was true. But all of this, in a place that he wasn't used to, had caused him to feel more than a little depressed. It didn't help that Christmas was also around the corner, not that he really celebrated the holiday at home, not having time with work and all

Yamato scowled a little at Birkin's sickly appearance, though he scowls were never little more than agitated pouts. The man needed to take better care of himself. Honestly, she apparently couldn't leave him to himself.
"You're not all that late," the girl responded flippantly with a shrug. "I've been pretty good though." It was true, all things considered. She was slightly bothered by Kouya, who had just disappeared and then come back even more distant than before. However, if that was meant for any part of their conversation, it certainly wasn't meant for the opening pleasantries.
"How about you?" She decided to not bring attention to his appearance. He would tell her, she was sure. Even if he didn't, she would eventually drag it out of him.
"I have been alright." He was lying, he hadn't been fine. But, he wasn't doing it to hurt her. Last they had seen of eachother, Yamato had been going through a hard time, and William wasn't really much of an attention seeker. He preferred not talking about himself actually. He figured it was a good way to not make enemies in a place like this.
"I am glad you have been good. I was a little worried to be honest. Did your friend ever turn back up?" He wasn't tactful it seems, jumping right into something she may not have wanted to talk about quite yet.
He was lying, it was obvious, but that was fine. She'd get it out of him soon enough.
At his query, Yamato looked a bit pensive, but quickly covered it with a shrug. "She did, but she's acting all stubborn now. It's really annoying." Annoying, indeed. She'd always hated when Kouya got in these moods in the past, and now it was even more annoying all things considered. She wouldn't even let Yamato help.
