Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sebastian had mostly morning classes, because while he enjoyed sleeping, he enjoyed having his afternoons and evenings free. Of course, most of that was spent doing school related things, but nothing was perfect. He usually came home after eating lunch on campus, since cooking was still not very high on his list of interesting things to do.

Matthew's schedule was a bit more varied, so when Sebastian came back to the apartment, he was surprised to hear the TV on and a rather dismal sounding round of Halo as well. "Matthew?" he asked, opening the door and looking at his roommate. "What happened to you?" was the next question that came out on the heels of the other, since Matthew certainly did not look like he was doing well.

Being greeted by curses wasn't really the sort of thing that happened often to him, and Sebastian looked slightly taken aback. "Wait, hold up," he said, raising a hand to ward off the rambling explanation. "You broke a rib? What were you doing where that would have been a possibility?"

He shook his head, hair falling slightly in front of his eyes. "I don't plan on it. And I won't tell your parents either." Not that he spoke to them much. "Am I going to have to ask Ash what happened, or can you try giving coherency another try?" There was a weak, forced laugh after that comment. Falling down the stairs and breaking an arm, like Penny, was one thing. How did you break a rib while coming home?

He waved off the apology, not really having taken offense in the first place. He'd been more startled than anything. There were more important matters to deal with, at any rate.

"Says you," he replied absently, more in the way of an automatic reflex than an actual response. He perched himself on the arm of the sofa to better listen to his friend's story. Once Matthew had finished, Sebastian let out a sigh. "It's a wonder anyone stays on this crazy town," he commented. These monster attacks were getting wildly out of hand. There were all too many of his friends and classmates getting attacked, though the brunette had lucked out and never actually seen one. But it did lend the story a definite air of truth, and Sebastian looked inclined to take the story at face value.

"Who's Gently?" he asked, arching an eyebrow and utterly failing to leer suggestively at the invalid in front of him.

While he had plans to, obviously, leave the area after college, Sebastian usually didn't think about it. He'd grown up here, all of his friends were here, and so were most of his family members. He ran a hand through his hair and sighed once more. It was rapidly becoming clear to him that Destiny City wasn't the same place it had been when he was younger.

Growing up sucked.

"Just a friend?" he asked archly, more than ready to give Matthew a hard time about this.

He quirked an eyebrow at the rather noncommittal response before shrugging. "Fair enough," he replied. He knew Matthew well enough to know when not to poke for more information.

Another quick glance took in Matthew's apparent exhaustion. "You," he said, pointing a finger at his friend, "Should really go back to sleep, or something." He turned and got off the end of the sofa. "Anything I can get you?" Broken ribs probably took a while to heal, right? Sebastian was fuzzy on medical things, really.
