As Sam made her remark about her drunken state, Liam choked momentarily on his beer. As he did his best to clear his throat and sinuses of the bitter liquid, he did his best to seem calm (though his obvious blush continued to give him away) as he sat back in his chair. Matt on the other hand, seemed to pay no attention to the actions or words of those around him. Instead, his mind drifted onwards and outwards, trying to calculate and comprehend everything that had happened over the last couple of days. In truth, despite his calm exterior, Matt was still overwhelmed by all this.
"
Yeah? That's not a bad idea." Liam chimed in, sitting up straight as his eyes focused on Clarice. A moment later, his eyes drifted to Sam, though he'd do his best to keep it subtle enough to remain undetected. He began reminiscing on his past, and what he had divulged to Sam shortly before her... 'Eruption'. Despite his best intentions, he couldn't help but feel he had deceived her with that half truth. If nothing else, he could make it up to her, but how... "
I'm sure Matt has some spares floating around. Don't you Matt?" A moment of silence passed, "
Matt?"
"
Hmm?" In an instant, the dark haired male's vision returned, glancing about the room. Despite his trance, he was able to grasp at least part of the conversation, "
... Sure. Help yourself." Matt's gaze fell upon Sam as he spoke, quickly returning to Liam, "
We should patrol tonight."
"
Man, you really are in your own world?" Liam remarked, wearing a teasing grin, though a subtle hint of concern emerged, "
Clarice asked if we'd like to accompany her to the park. Coming?"
Matt paused a moment, shaking his head as he settled back in his chair, "
No, I'm fine. I should stay in case any others show. But do as you wish, after today, it'd be good for you to unwind."
'Yeah, you too...' Liam thought, his gaze focused on Matt's now distant eyes for a moment before the blonde male sighed heavily. "
Yeah, yeah. Give me a shout if something comes up." With that, he'd place his bottle on the floor and stand from his chair. In a short time, he stood by the door, turning to face the interior with his usual smile, "
Well, better be going. Stay safe, Matt."
"
Yeah. You too."
As Garret's door flew open, he'd be greeted with the sight of timid young girl. Clothed in an off white hoodie and leggings, she shrieked softly as he made his appearance, clutching one hand in another as she fell back into his clone. With an equally frightened gasp, she attempted to stand her ground, pushing herself from the clone and resorting to fidgeting with the collar of her heavy attire. Shortly after, her gaze would return to the man, seeming to be shaking in fear.
"G-Garret? I have the right apartment? Or-" She said, glancing behind her to the clone, "Y-Yeah. I think so." Shortly she'd turn to him, extending on hand out that seemed to be clasping something. As she turned the hand over and released her fingers, a cellphone could be seen sitting in her palm, "Our boss wanted you to have this. Said to do away with your old one." At the mention of her boss, he quivering voice faded, carrying now an even tone as her eyes remained locked to Garrett's in a fashion that betrayed her earlier character.
