[ They're both far too similar to make it past a stand off. Matt could raise his voice, but it's a pointless argument. He backs off, finding a chair instead. It's fairly easy-- cramped spaces are actually easier for him to navigate than open rooms. ]

Thanks. I've uh, I've actually never been inside a trailer home, so I wouldn't know.

Well. You're not missing out on anything.

[at least her voice is lighter for the comment. sometimes its hard for her to remember that matt really hasn't ever left new york, or that not being able to watch tv limits his experience with things. it makes up for his stubbornness in a way, a balance to it.]

And now you have an idea.

It sounds very... [ Matt gestures around him. Of course he can't feel the room around him or anything. ] ...cozy.

[ That's one way to put it. ]

At least the coffee smells good.

[she huffs out a humorless laugh]

You don't have to say that.

[on either count, really. but it's not her kitchen, there's no need to pay it, or the shitty coffee that's coming from it, any compliments.]

What should we eat?

We're stuck here. Might as well.

[ Matt shrugs. Visual descriptions vex him. ]

What do people normally eat on road trips?

[ Talking to Mr. "Never Left NYC Before." ]

Road trips?

[she's confused for a second, trying to figure out where that logical leap came from.]

No, no, the trailer homes that stay in trailer home parks. [beat] Unless you feel like this whole Wonderland thing is like a road trip, in which case you have really low standards, buddy.

I mean, don't people usually... take a trailer when they...

[ Look, he's very lost, he's so bad at this. ]

It is the farthest I've ever been from New York, so I guess we can go with that.

Different kind of trailer.

[matt may know about ninjas but he's pretty bad at Real World Stuff. It's okay though that's why he has trusty less-than-willing sidekicks.

tbh it's mildly endearing, in the way children are mildly endearing while you can still give them back to their parents at the end of a conversation.

anyways, after a moment:]

You're seriously considering top ramen, aren't you?

[ He laughs. At least he has a cute laugh going for him. ]

It'd be a taste from home.

[ After a beat: ]

Think they can make Thai food like the one down the street from the office?

[she opens up a cabinet and its full of top ramen, thanks for nothing.]

Well, it would definitely taste like something.

[she shuts the cabinet and goes for the fridge, which, hey, has something that smells like day old thai food.]

If there's no name on leftovers, do you think they're free for anyone?

Like sodium, mostly.

[ Look okay, some people like crappy food maybe it's a martyr thing or a growing-up-orphaned thing, we'll never know. ]

I've never let names on leftovers stop me.

[ Get it, since he's blind. He totally shrugs. ]

That doesn't count you can't see names on leftovers.

[i mean come on thats the only reason she and foggy dont complain about things going missing in the fridge although she has the lurking suspicion that foggy is the true thief]

[ Matt will never tell, but it's probably him. And if anything even goes within an inch of going bad, you can bet Matt's the one that tosses it in the trash. ]

In that case, you can blame me.

[ Matt, no. ]

I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to work like that.

[but there's truly no label on these, wonderland made them appear just for matt so she pulls them out and goes to dish it out to a couple plates and microwave them. wow much kitchening]

I guess you're in luck, anyway.

Foggy's never objected.

[ Gotta get the perks while you can, y'know? But then Matt's starting to feel bad for having Karen do all the work so he stands-- ]

Karen, uh-- is there anything I can do to help?

Please don't try. Did I mention this space is really tiny?

[is there a polite way to say youre just gonna get in the way, because that's pretty much what shes aiming for here.]

I mean, I'm sure I can be careful.

[ Times like these make you wish she knew you were Daredevil, huh, Matt?? ~~And not a million other times when she really should have been told by now.~~ ]

[incredible right]

I'm sure you can be careful, too. But all I'm doing is using a microwave.

[ Matt grumbles, slouching in his seat a bit. She's right. ]

Okay. But I'll make it up to you.

Sure, Matt.

[sure????

dude this is why women want you to touch their face. being all gentlemanly in the kitchen stop that jesus]

[ It's a gift!!! ]

You should get something else, if you want. You-- you don't have to eat cheap takeout with me, you know.

[cease and desist]

It's fine, I've got it out anyway.

[look matt, this is just fake food in a weird parallel reality some people are trying to figure out how to escape]

[ Matt will figure out how to escape later, when he can don his black duds and free himself of the constraints of his lame daytime persona. ]

Thanks, Karen.

[you know the other way to free yourself from the constraints of pretending to be lame by day?

not pretending

its a concept

i know]

For what? Offering to eat a cheap knock off version of New York Thai food with you?

[ Then people would think he could actually see, imagine how much time he would have to spend explaining the "world on fire" concept to people. ]

Well yeah, that. And... all of this, helping me out and not being willing to sit by while we're stuck here. You've got the right idea.
