Ooh, yeah, Chuck's going to kill him. Newt can feel the murder eyes glaring at him right now so he makes a concentrated effort not to look back, knowing exactly what he'll find. It's definitely not the first time he's gotten the look, it sure as hell won't be the last, but Newt is confident they can salvage this situation. Geoff might be kind of an idiot, but he's also not the actual dentist so Newt figures they can only go up from here.
Or maybe not, because Geoff turns to follow Chuck's gaze at the photo and nods with a little too much vigor. "Oh, yeah, I guess that's true! That was a great day, our third Grand Reopening!" Geoff's eyes widen a bit and he holds is hands up in front of him like he's ready to placate them. "Oh, don't worry, nothing was really wrong. It's just that one time, we got hit with those ice bees, right? And then there was the other New Year's Eve where all the animals went wild, I'll tell you what, you've never seen wild geese until you've seen what I did in here that night!"
For fuck's sake.
"Mmkay," Newt says, shifting from one foot to the other. He's already got a scar on one side of his stomach, he really does need a matching one from getting shanked by his angry best friend. "Maybe just like, we do our thing with the paperwork, you do your thing with the... whatever it is you do? Sound cool?"
"Totally cool," Geoff answers, and he's nodding again like his life depends on it. Newt wonders if he's ever given himself whiplash. "I'll just be right over there if you need me!"
