[Aww, and here Clay was just about to get some juicy details! Maybe! Still, he hands it over without a fuss, waggling his eyebrows playfully at the hilarity of it all. Ino's turn it is!
And totally gonna ignore that face she made, yep yep]
Well, I can't exactly blame her. Looking at Stefan is like looking at the sun sometimes.
[In other words: YEAH... YEAH, HE'S HOT.]
I just didn't think she'd go to you about it. [Allen is kind of... the least helpful at these things and all.]
[You know you spend a lot of time with Clay when the space analogies start making sense without thinking about it]
...Ah, sure if you're ready to burn if you get too close. He's really nice, but when I talk to him I just end up feeling like a terrible Christian compared to him- and he's Muslim.
[Even with the potential vampire thing!!]
I know. I have no idea why she would think I'd be a good... [...unless it was because of the host club which is how she knew him in Paradisa...]
[See, that's why comparing Stefan to the sun is a perfect analogy! That next part though, that makes him sit on a table nearby and lean in, eager to hear more.]
Well? You can't just say something like that and not give us the deets!
[THIS IS NOT A CONVERSATION HE WANTED TO HAVE WITH CLAY. But at the rate Alex is going, it's probably...better to just hear it from him instead. Right? Right.]
Awhile back in Paradisa, I...fell into a lot of debt, and needed money. [Thanks a LOT for that Cross] And there was a very well paying job with a...[I want to fall into a black hole right now] ...with a host club. So I took it and worked with them a...couple years.
And Alex was one of our clients, so...that's...that's how I met her.
[At first, Clay just stares wide-eyed. Then a smile starts to spread across his face, and he immediately looks like he's trying to hold back the laughter that's threatening to burst out. And he's doing pretty good at it!
But then he looks at Ino, who is pretty much doing the same thing.
And, in the end, that's what makes him first let out a snicker, then just give in and laugh. This guy, who's been blushing furiously over this whole thing and wanted to pass the conversation off to the two of them, WORKED AT A HOST CLUB?
[Clay isn't exactly paying attention to his surroundings, so the pillow hits the side of his head and falls to the table beside him. Which is a damn good thing right about now, because Apollo working as a stripper - that just sends straight from jovial laughter to hysterics. He grabs the pillow and presses it to his face to roar into that, at least quieting down thanks to it, and falls to his back while curling into almost a fetal position.
Oh god. He can't breathe, he's laughing too much. There are tears comes out of his eyes from it, this is too much.]
[DAMMIT. THAT'LL TEACH HIM TO EVER LISTEN TO RUMORS. And that one seemed so legitimate too. But well that's embarrassing....though man, now he'll notice Clay who is now on the floor laughing]
[Sure, he's still got a big smile on his face and probably can't help the stray chuckle, but he'll go up behind Allen and wrap both arms loosely around his neck, leaning over to look at the communicator, then back at Ino to grin at her as well. See? He's totally fine.]
Cass, huh? I think I know her. [There are a couple of Cassandras on the fleet, after all.] Good luck to the both of them!
[... Good luck on the bootycall, IT'S STILL HILARIOUS]
[He rolls his eyes as Clay wraps his arms around him, leaning back a little against him and giving him a better view of the screen.] Arse.
[It's not said with any malice or anger though. Whatever Clay, at least you had a good laugh at all this misery and honestly Allen's just relieved this is almost done with.]
Yeah, Cass is a good person. I'm not sure at all what Alex's type is- but I hope they get along!
[He gives Allen a light, playful kiss on the cheek at that name. Yeah yeah, he's an arse. And he knows it.
And when Ino takes her leave, Clay leans back a bit to wave goodbye to her, totally not picking up that tone of voice of hers. Look, he's. Really, really bad at picking up those kinds of things, okay?]
[UNLIKE CLAY, Allen is totally good at picking up when his bestie is being gross. And it makes him blush again because hey, Ino is not far off the mark]
[...... Ah. Okay. Clay's not that bad at picking up some cues, and that just makes him blush too, though he ends up laughing as well. At least it's not the louder kind he'd been giving off before!]
[Clay's laughter helps him ease up a little at the indignation. He sighs, relaxes his shoulders and lets out a bit of a weak laugh himself. Yeah. This entire night has been insane.]
[He leans down to give Allen a hug around the shoulders, just to get some of the mirth out.
And when he does, he looks down at the communicator to see if he's at a stopping point... then goes ahead and takes it out of his hands to set it aside - slowly, in case he still wants to talk to Alex or not do what he'll suggest or anything.]
[And you know, he'll let him do that without any resistance. He is so done with the communicator for tonight. He'll turn a little in order to get a good look at Clay, his expression half amused]
Truly? Are you suggesting we listen to her and actually make out in my best friend's room?
[Oddly, this tone doesn't sound like he's entirely against the idea like you think it would be.]

[Clay's laughter is enough to get him flustered that he grabs one of the purple throw pillows in the room and THROWS it at Clay's head]
Oh come on! Knock it off! Apollo worked as a stripper didn't he?! [THAT WAS THE RUMOR ANYWAY] That's way worse!!

Thank you, Ino. I owe you for this.

Mm-hmm, no problem.
[ She waves a hand, moving for the door. It's her room, but she doesn't seem to have a problem with leaving them in there to use it ... ]
Well, feel free to get back to ... Whatever you were doing. I'm gonna go check on the plants.
[ "whatever you were doing" ......... The way she says it implies she probably made a good guess about what they were actually doing ]
