"Naw, we could go back to the barter system and be perfectly fine!" Sani said, smiling and grabbing her elbows. He pushed them out so that she fell forward and lost her position of weight on him, allowing him to flip them again... but this time, they flipped on to the floor.
Sani groaned a little, having landed on his side instead of on top of her, and then straightened up and tried to gain dominance again. "Why would I want 'in'? Maybe I have more fun teasing you..."
"The Ecumene is too massive to opperate on such a primitive system. My nation would fall apart within a few months. Then, there would be no future for our people. Once the econmy is in freefall, the government will inevitably be overthrown. Our civilization would factionalize and eventually collapse." She then force him under her again. "Because I want you in...."

Hatter's eyes widened as he heard Filia utter the words 'tea party'. "A tea party?" he repeated quietly, blinking his purple eyes and matching them with Filia's orange. "Of course I can do that!"
With that, he seemed to start bouncing off the walls, random decorations suddenly appearing around the place and making the dorm room seem more, well, put together than usual. Or, actually, more out of place. It seemed better to Hatter, because of his insanity, but in truth it looked like a conglomeration of multiple different themes and styles and had no sense to it at all. Eventually though, it was tied together (Not really) by a table and four chairs, along with crumpets, cookies, sandwiches, and, of course, tea. "Ta daaaa!"
Filia est Umbra
Filia giggled as she watched Hatter set up the tea party like a maniac. In the past, she would have been terrified by such crazy actions. Now however, the young cambion was in love with that aspect of Hatter's character. At least when he's not being violent about it that is.
Nonetheless, Filia's eyes sparkled in awe and child-like curiosity at how Matthew decorated the room. Sure it was like something Frankenstein would put together if he was trying to make his monster out of tea party decore, but the young teen-ager just accepted it as part of Hatter's lovable personality. Filia sat down and smiled at Hatter and Makayla. "T-thank you, M-matthew. This l-looks amazing." she spoke sweetly, before picking up her cup of warm tea and taking a sip, as well as taking a bite out of a sandwich, "M-mmmmm. Very w-warm for s-such a c-cold day. H-how about y-you join u-us, Makayla? T-the tea i-is great a-and the f-food is g-great too."
"I will. This weather is not good for me. If My body temprature drops too low I'll die. The Mirali are native to a tropical world. This weather is alien." With that, she began to both eat and drink. She found the decor disorganized and chaotic. Being a soldier, she was used to order, and seeing this mentally drove her up a wall. Yet, she said nothing.
