Matthew hummed thoughtfully as he listened to Bran talk about his brother. Insensitive, caustic, and blunt? No wonder the man likes his time alone. He won't be the least bit surprised if he stays alone forever; but, knowing Yuu, the boy would probably keep at it until he got Edgar to accept him - his way, anyway, instead of the Ten Commandments Bran was suggesting they should follow. 'When there's a will, there's a way!' has been his half-brother's motto. It's what's keeping him awake and alive in his work at the hospital.

But, he worried about his health. Yuu can be a little forgetful about himself, sometimes.

"The Ten Commandments of Edgar, is it?" he asked, chuckling a little at the other puffing his chest out. It made him look silly, but nonetheless, he could see their server, Lily, swooning at the sight of him. He saw what it was they see in Bran, but he didn't understand why this had such an effect on women... or men. A killer charm, he'd like to put it.

And, yet again, Matthew found himself laughing at Bran letting out an inelegant snort to make his point. "Well," he started in between laughs. When he'd calmed down, he could be seen smiling rather widely. "Not everyone understands that not everyone has the same tastes. Going against the norm makes them think that these people just aren't normal." Matthew leaned forward and clasped his hands together on the table. "But, I think this is perfectly normal."

"As for being subtle... I think everyone misses a lot if they are."

Looking down at Chaos who seemed content, still, just sitting there, he couldn't help but find himself itching to try and touch the dog. He was afraid, though, he'd bite; he never did have luck with animals as compared to Yuu. "It'll come, Bran. It'll come." Just as he'd said that, their frieds, indeed, came a couple of minutes later. The one who served them wasn't the same girl, and Matthew just had to look over the waiter's shoulder to see if he could spot her. She seemed to be nowhere in sight. Strange.

Then again, he must've embarrassed her if she'd overheard him speak about her affections for his companion. Matthew returned his attention back to the black-haired man with him."I take it, too, that you're not the type to settle down?"


Yuuichi watched, silently, and still in awe at Edgar seamlessly going through the places. He couldn't even remember if he's already had his character go back in the same place or in a new one. "What's the goal of this game?" he asked, leaning against the other's bed as he tilted his head. Yuuichi glanced at Edgar - at the back of the other's head anyway, before he'd looked down at the cat on his lap. That seems to be like a really comfortable place to be in right now.

When his eyes darted about, they settled on a particular bookcase. "... and is that a complete set of comic books I see?" Yuuichi was thrilled. He's only read one, two, or samplers of comic books, but never went around to collecting or buying them because, well, he didn't like keeping so much things with him. This was a habit he built up ever since he'd taken medicine in University.
