Lost in his world own little world Matt failed to notice the van start and only became aware once they were moving down the road. It was in an instance of bad decision making when Matt looked up to notice that they were about to hit another car and that Søren wasn’t paying the slightest attention to the road but rather looking at and talking to Parker. Bracing himself for impact he dropped his phone in cup holder to his left as he grabbed the handle above his head, closed his eyes and braced himself…… but there was never any impact as Søren deftly moved to the other lane just before he would have crashed into a bright yellow taxi. Spending the rest of the ride with a death-grip on the handle above him he only relinquished the handle once the car was safely parked outside The Great Wall. Letting his hand drop back to his lap he turned to Søren ”What the hell was that? There is no way in hell you are driving back!” he punctuated his exclamation by punching Søren in the shoulder.

Safely inside the Chinese restaurant Matt felt his body releasing the tension from the car ride, as they were seated he slid into the booth next to Søren and ordered his drinks. ”I’ll have a coke and a water,” he said, the coke being for the flavor and the water to help his aching throat. After ordering his drinks he stood up almost immediately looking at Søren and Parker he dawned a serious look ”I will be back, but currently there are egg rolls that need my assistance” as he said this he imitated Søren’s voice that he used for his theatrics. Finishing the statement Matt stood up turned on the ball of his foot and marched over to the egg rolls where he proceeded to pile five into a pyramid on his plate, next to that he layed a bed of fried rice which he proceeded to cover with a mixture of General Tso’s Chicken and peanut-butter chicken, topping his dish off with four crab rangoons. He set back down in time to hear Lucy say something about the bathrooms smelling nice. A smile on his face as he set there with his friends he replied with a tint of mirth ”One can only hope the men’s restroom smells as nice,”
