Well. [He shrugs, though it's weird to do when you're holding on to someone.] It can't be helped, right? I guess even if he has a gazillion already, I'm still his kid... he's still my dad. He was just worried. I don't think he thinks it's all your fault, but he doesn't know what to be mad at.

[A pause. And he tightens his hold a little.] It's... over now, though. Kind of. Right?

[pheromonecoffee]

[Matt doesn't want to answer that. Over?

It's just starting.]

[orangehoodie]

[He just shakes his head.] No more Vegas. No more adventures. At least not for a while.

[pheromonecoffee]

I... kind of brought an adventure home. I'll try. You just stay put.

[orangehoodie]

... You what?

[pheromonecoffee]

[He shrugs.] A new Numbered is always an adventure.

[orangehoodie]

... Oh yeah. You brought him back to your hotel room for a night. [context]

He's from Vegas?

[pheromonecoffee]

Yeah. Weird, right? Shit luck.

[MATT DON'T COMPLAIN ABOUT HIM CURSING IF YOU ARE GOING TO CURSE TOO.]

[orangehoodie]

[He huffs.]

What sorta guy is he? You don't usually pick up people older than you, Matt...

[pheromonecoffee]

Mmmm he worries a lot, I think. He's too invested in strangers.

[Matt that also describes you don't say it like it's a bad thing.]

[orangehoodie]

...

... [He laughs quietly now. He hasn't lifted his head off Matt's shoulder.]

He sounds like you.

[pheromonecoffee]

I'm too invested in friends. There is a difference.

[orangehoodie]

I was just a kid you were tutoring.

[pheromonecoffee]

I'd already had an echo about you.

[orangehoodie]

Still practically a stranger. He's just like you, just admit it.

[pheromonecoffee]

[He pats the back of Ken's head.]

Never. You might replace me.

[orangehoodie]

I'm apparently attracted to blue hair. [In both men and women.]

[pheromonecoffee]

I am too old for you.

[orangehoodie]

Then he's way too old. He's almost ten years older than me. It's more of a crime than with you.

[pheromonecoffee]

[He laughs and pulls away a little.] So why blue hair?

[orangehoodie]

Nadia's hair is blue in places, too.

[pheromonecoffee]

[He makes a thinking noise and smiles at Ken.]

Am I going to have to give you the talk? You seem really interested in her.

[orangehoodie]

I-it's nothing like that. She's a friend. That means a lot because I don't have a lot of them.

[pheromonecoffee]

You stammered. [eyebrow raise]

[orangehoodie]

I don't like her like that.
