Eugene somehow saw the moment right before the bombardment of questions in a sort of slow motion. It was like how he felt before an especially powerful spike in volleyball. The second he heard a pause in Sasha's mother's question, he softly answered them. Unlike normally answering questions about himself, he kept them short and to the point. "17. The party. Nope, hopefully never will be. I don't know, I saved him from dying under a sink and he didn't have a ride home." It was like he was answering a survey instead of a parent's questions.
Eugene took a breath before looking at Sasha's mother again. "Sorry if that was curt or anything. I normally somehow end up telling my life story if I go too in-depth. Also, hello, It's nice to meet you two." He finished off with a smile.

Sasha's father went to ask his own questions but Sasha's mother slapped his arm before he could speak. "It's nice to meet you as well, dear," she then turned her newly stony gaze to Sasha. "What happened to Kyle, hm? I always knew that boy was no good as a friend."
Sasha pulled back from the birdcage, Naga perched on his fingers. "He was nowhere to be seen. Presumably getting some STDs. I wish you could've seen the others there playing Spin the Bottle, mom. It was like watching a circle of whores-pardon my language-go at it. Their tongues were practically down to each other's windpipes no matter who someone landed on," Sasha said, crinkling his nose in the last part. He moved towards Eugene until he was close enough that Naga was starting to become vocal. It was then that he stopped moving towards Eugene in order to reassure the bird that nothing weird was going on.
Eugene gagged ever so quietly. "Oh my god it was disgusting. I always ask myself why I even bother going to parties, it's not like I do anything there. I participate just about as much as a broken chair does." He said before turning his attention to Sasha and Naga. The bird was adorable, well worth the craziness that came before. "Can I…?" He asked, referring to the bird while glancing at Sasha.
"Uh, yeah," Sasha said, "Don't hold him close to your face, though. You're a stranger so I can't promise that he'll be docile."
Sasha pulled Eugene's hand up and moved two of his fingers out so he could properly hold Naga. As he handed the bird over, he made on more note. "If I were you, I'd hold him mid-chest at the highest."
Subconsciously, Eugene held his breath. Taking all of Sasha's words into consideration, he kept his hand just above stomach level. A bright smile was on his lips as he got a better look at Naga. "Oh man, thank you for inviting me inside to see Naga… he's amazing…" He said quietly, enthralled by the bird.
"He's stupid," Sasha remarked, Naga quickly turning his head to face Sasha before letting out a squawk of 'bitch'. Sasha looked stunned for a second, then remembered where Naga had learned that from. "Ignore him, he just learned that from Kristen calling me stupid and me always having a highly intellectual response."
Sasha proceeded to make kisses noises as Naga, which the bird eagerly returned.
"Ah yes, highly intellectual." Eugene giggled and watched the bird copy Sasha. It would definitely be cool to have a bird, although, with his upbringing, he'd probably be completely inadequate to have a pet with much more maintenance than a fish.
"You two do realize how late it is, right?" Kristen asked, waltzing into the living room with a plate of cookies, "Your friend should go home, Sasha. Mom and dad are waiting to grill you about the party, and I don't think he wants to hear them asking you about… personal party happenings."
She turned to face Eugene. "Y'know, they once asked him if he and Kyle were-"
Sasha quickly cut Kristen off, not yet trusting Eugene enough to hear the next bit. "FRIENDS! GOOD FRIENDS. VERY GOOD FRIENDS. BEST FRIENDS. THAT'S ENOUGH, KRISTEN. I BANISH THEE BACK TO THY KITCHEN," he yelled, quickly lowering his voice, "But not in a sexist way or anything."
"Anyways," Sasha said, this time his attention on Eugene, "You probably should leave. After giving me my bird back, of course. I'd hunt you down if you left with Naga."
For reasons unknown to Eugene, his heart dropped at the talk of him leaving. But, it was probably for the better, at least that's what he told himself. It had been a while since he had made a friend, especially this quickly. He hadn't been fully aware of Sasha's sister and the coversationshe had started. But he just smiled.
With one last fond look at Naga, he outstretched his arm to give the bird back to Sasha. "You'd never find me, no matter how much you looked. But I save you the pain of trying to find me." Eugene joked with a smile.
"Mmm, good to know," Sasha said, taking Naga back into his own hand and moving to return the bird to his cage. "Nice knowin' ya, I guess. See you at school? Assuming you aren't a frequent skipper, that is."
Sasha latched Naga's cage after easing the bird back into it, then turned to face Eugene. "Shall I escort thy to the door?" he asked, giving a dramatic bow.
Eugene's smiled brightened. "Yeah, I'll be at school. Can't skip much unless I wanted to be kicked off the volleyball team." He then bowed his head in response. "Thank you, sir. That would be much appreciated." But only a second later he was giggling again, standing upright again.
(Bloop~ Don't feel pressured to respond though, I totally understand if you're busy :)
