"Huh." That was all Alec seemed to be able to say. The whole thing was kind of strange to him, but he wasn't overly surprised anymore. Mark had lived a different life then them for a pretty long time. He just hadn't been expecting a raccoon named Rico to walk into the room like that.
"Oh, no- I wasn't..." He frowned and settled on shifting farther into the bed. "It is fine." His house, rather the Institute, was going to become overrun with animals. He just knew that fact without a doubt now that both Ty and Mark were in the house. A slight sigh escaped as he forced his attention back to the movie.
And then he was choking on his mouthful of rum. Note to self, don't drink around Mark ever. He winced at how the rum burned when he finally managed to swallow. "Okay." Alec carefully rested the glass of rum on his chest as he tried to watch the movie. "Can we just..." He ran a finger around the rim of the glass as he realized he was starting to feel slightly more relaxed.
