Matthew held her hand when she took ahold of his. Listening to her as she spoke. That brought a bit of relief to him. He would hate that they thought he hated them after they were allowing him to stay here in their home. As well as Jin, her dad, not caring they had been in the same bed last night. "Thats good to know. I like Jin. Even when he is in his child side. He is nice. He was just really scary when Tecca got hurt." He said softly. "I'm glad you think that and hope you are right." He said honestly. He followed her after she let go. "Okay. Isn't Jin your dad?" He asked softly. A bit confused why she called him Jin and not dad. He secretly called his dad the monster but that was a different situation altogether. He followed her out out of the room. He chuckled softly and slightly when he saw her lion half sleeping in one of the room and half sleeping in the hallway. It was amusing to him. He watched as they went back to the room with the chessboard. Letting go of her hand again when she let go of his.<br/><br/>Watching her pull on the shelf in curiousity. Blinking as it opened like a door. There was a curtain behind the shelf? How come he hadn't noticed it before? Now he was excited because it was like a secret chamber or something in their game. He followed her into the curtained area and up the staircase. What an odd place for a staircase. They had already been in the attic and he hadn't seen this staircase there at all. So how was there a staircase hidden in the walls? This was so cool! He blinked as they entered a circular room that could double as a bedroom. It was a nice room. Following her into it and stared in awe. "We have found the secret chamber of the Pharoh Akamin Doctor Viola." He said with a grin in character.<br/><br/>Out of character he smiled at her. Following her over to the futon and sat on it with her. "Wow this secret place is so cool Viola." He looked at her. "Is this your secret place Viola?" he asked softly. "Thank you for sharing this place with me." He said after a long moment. He went to hug her then stopped. Lowering his arms to his side. He just... He just couldn't get himself to do it again. He wanted to but he was afraid to. Nervous to. It was hard to give hugs when before Viola he'd never had any since he was just a baby. "Thanks for playing make believe with me even though we're teenagers." He said in a grateful soft voice.
