"Mhmm" He agreed mildly, nodding a bit. There wasn't much more to add to the conversation without the girl around, so he didn't pursue it any further.. Perhaps somewhere her ears were burning though.
It was obvious that Matthew was having to put more effort into the game now, his attention more direct, his face more serious and glued to the screen. Corey too seemed pretty interested, glancing back and forth from the rolling score to the little 8 bit monsters.
"Come on!" He urged encourgingly as the bad guys swirled in for another very close call.
"Die alien scummmm" He hollered playfully at the screen. No one could say that Corey didn't get into the spirits of the games. Even when he wasn't necessarily playing.

Unfortunately, this was where Matthew's skills weren't enough to keep up. One alien slipped past, and it was game over.
The score screen was, however, surprising. "Holy crap !" He hadn't beat Corey's score, no, but he was second highest on that last - not all that much lower, really.
"Close call, uh ?" He said with a grin, clearly proud of himself as he started inputting in his name. Well, four letters of his name.
There were so many Matthews in Destiny City that any of them could try to claim the fame, but Corey had seen the truth.

His nose scrunched up, the screen and victorious alien receiving a momentary sneer as Matthew's last life was lost and the game came to an end. The score screen however was quick to change his expression. His score hadn't been beaten, but he had gotten pretty darn close. It he had beaten him.. it wasn't a huge thing, Corey was rarely THAT competitive, unless it came to laser tag. He was a good sport at least.
"That was pretty awesome!" He grinned, watching the score screen disappear to begin replaying the demo intro.
"It was real close actually. Maybe next time."

"Maybe." Matthew grinned. It wasn't that big of a deal for him, either. This was all just for fun, right ?
He certainly had more to worry about than a videogame, after all.
He gave one quick look at the clock. "I should get going through... It was awesome to unwind for a bit, through." He smiled. "Catch ya later, uh ?"

"Yeah, take care of yourself man!" Corey grinned as Matthew announced his departure, offering a friendly wave. Some people came and spent entire evenings in the shop, others popped in and out more frequently. He didn't mind either way as long as they were coming.
It was time for him to get back to work anyway and the arcade owner made his way back to the prize and concession counter.
As the door jangled with the sound of it opening, he called out one last goodbye. "See you soon Matthew, don't be a stranger. You've got a score to beat."
