This scene is a lot better in a public bar, though.

How's this- Klaus and Mat's symptoms are infrequent enough that they're willing to risk it. Aaron, they stuff in a large winter coat and a scarf, and since it's snowing outside, and it's a dark bar, they don't think anyone will realize.

Now, if the discussion gets heated and Mat ends up setting something on fire, that would be a great plot device... 

EDIT: and, come on. they've been cooped up in that lab for months. they're dying to get out, especially after the day they've had. I'd say it's not out of character for them to take the chance.

Yeah, I like that. And I LOVE the idea of Mat being hauled off by police for setting something on fire. It's too early to have him killed, but a night in jail would be enough to make Aaron panic. I also see everyone else in the lab being confused, because they don't know how much Mathis and Aaron have to fear.
