not sure what that means, but is happy for him anyway.

hasn't seen Matthew for a while and greets him with a big old smile. 'Thanks mate.'

just nods. Well, if he was a kid, the whole world ought to be thankful that he is now normal.

an okay kid... depending on his age, thank you very much. He hoists Bruce up to settle on his hips, 'You doing good?'

simply going to avoid having children, just to be safe. He nods, "a lot of work, though. How are you?"

smiles, 'That's good and uhh... 'Really busy, everyone is worrying about the possibility of a coalition government nowadays.'

blinks. "Between who?"

, 'Labour and Green?'

nods again, "O-Oh. Well, good luck and everything."

smiles, 'Thanks again...'

sure there was no 'thanks' to be had again. "Yes, of course."

already said 'Thanks once.' He hesitates, looking around, 'Want to go get a cuppa?'

...forgets things. He is surprised by this offer, but he accepts.

smiles brightly, it's nice that they're still hanging out. He puts Bruce down with a pat, telling him to go home. 'Starbucks okay mate?'

must be the only one feeling awkward, then. "Oh, yes. Just fine."

feeling awkward, he masks it well. He just thinks the more they hang out the less awkward it will get, 'Good, because the next place is an_

extra 10 minutes away.' He starts walking to said Starbucks

now feeling bad about the whole thing. He walks quietly throughout the...walk and pulls open the door for William when they get there.

blinks when the door is open, thanking Matthew quietly as he steps through. The shop, being Starbucks, is awfully busy. 'Do you want to_

tell me what you want and then find some seats?'

steps in behind him, making sure he does not get shut in the door. "I'd just like a black coffee, please."

get that then. He nods, heading to the counter to wait in line and then order. He buys them both a cookie because... he wants one and it's_

rude to return with just one.

sits himself at a table in the corner, gazing out the window just then as he thinks.

places two plates on the table before wandering off to wait for the coffee to be made. Damn Starbucks makes you work for your coffee.

blinks down at the cookie. Is it bribe to help blow up Japan?

... wonders what Matthew would say if it was... But really, that hadn't crossed his mind. He returns with the coffee, 'There you go Matt,_

Black coffee.'

would more than likely decline. "Thank you," he mumbles after swallowing half of that cookie.

nibbles on his. 'How's Kuma?' he asks, before sipping his coffee.

. "He has been fine, but I did found a thorn in his paw the other day. What about Bruce...?"

says, 'He's enjoying hanging out at the office... because the ladies spoil him rotten. Unfortunately for me it means he's getting fat'

, "Doesn't this mean you ought to be playing with him right now?"

... 'Bruce doesn't really play.' And he probably had a good work out following Chibi!Australia about, not that he knows about that.

sighs. "Neither does Kumadeon."

laughs lightly, sipping on his coffee.

'I still love 'im though.'

turns pink, picking up his coffee to suck down.

tilts his head, not sure what he's turning pink about. He keeps drinking his coffee though and refrains from mentioning it, that would be_

awkward e_e

feeling awkward as it is. He sets down the empty cup. "Thanks for the coffee."

kind of upset that they can't get past the awkwardness. He nods in understanding, 'It's alright, thanks for keeping me company.'

cannot help it. His stomach is churning. "anytime."

smiles standing up with his coffee to go. Thankfully he asked for take-away, 'I'll see you around.'
