Casey's exhalation somewhat helped Gael relax a bit more, too. The jumpiness had made him worried, and now it seemed like that was over. At least the confusion was gone, anyway.

He gave Casey a reassuring smile. "I think we're all a bit jumpy lately. And really, it's no big deal. Even our family has a hard time telling us apart sometimes."

Slowly, he nodded. "That's true. I mean, not that I blame anyone for being jumpy with all the stuff that's been going on lately."

Casey managed a smile, even though he still felt a little bad for getting them confused and getting all paranoid. Of course he had to make himself look like an ass. "And I hope you mean like, extended family. Because you and Leon already seem very different. You're a hell of a lot more friendly than he is. Either that or I just bumped into Leon on a really bad day."

He shook his head. "No, I don't either. I think even the faculty's on edge."

Gael's smile widened. "We've been known to fool our parents once or twice, when we try at it." He sighed and rubbed at his neck. "Probably a little of both. He doesn't really- It's nothing personal with him." He wished he could offer some other kind of explanation, cause this one certainly painted his brother in a bad light. "Some people are happy drunks, he's just a slightly confrontational one." Of course, he's that way without the alcohol, too...

"Or one that gets really irritated really easily." Casey added before he could really stop it from coming out of his mouth. That was the case, from the little bit that he remembered along with the pictures he saw.

"I should probably let you get back to... whatever it was you were going to do." He lifted a hand to scratch the back of his head a bit. Not the he had anything important to tend to, he just didn't feel like holding up Gael from whatever it was he might have been off to do.

"Bit of that too, I guess." It never really took too much to get Leon going. One more huge difference between the two of them...

"Oh, I was just heading back to my dorm. But if you're busy go ahead." He smiled and gave Casey a shrug-wave. He thought he'd seen a phone in Casey's hand earlier and figured he'd been texting to meet up with someone.

"Not entirely busy, no. I still have homework to do," which was the truth. Never mind the fact that he'd probably end up playing some sort of video game instead.

He took a couple steps in the direction he was headed, but still turning so that he could look at Gael. "I'll see you around, yea? Just... well, if I don't happen to say hi, smile and I'll know it's you. Or something."

Gael grinned at that. "Hopefully it's pretty easy. I always hate having last minute homework."

He started to turn after Casey started walking away, but glanced back at him and smiled. "Sure. Maybe I'll convince Leon we need to start wearing name tags. See you around, and good luck on that homework." He gave a little wave.
