But the more I took, the more it took away
"Yeah, maybe hit me up in thirty years and I'll give you a sympathy suck if you're still this desperate." Adam teased Amun, rather amused the guy was still trying for it even though he knew what they were here for.
It seemed that most of his guests knew each other to some extent, even if he didn't know two of them. Jigano went off into a corner to write (Adam shooting him nervous glances, just waiting to see the bard laugh, the quality of his writing about the only thing he was truly conscious of) and Amalia began to lay out food, as Amun and Ingrid went about decorating.
Though...Adam noticed
Ingrid seemed hesitant to interact with Coffee. Terrified, even. He guessed they didn't have dragons in her world - he whistled for his companion to come to his arms and walked closer to her.
"Hey. He won't hurt you. He's a good boy, mostly, just nips a little on your fingers when he's too eager for snacks. He'll only blow a tiny flame for the candles, like -- cmon." He bounced Coffee a little and the dragon obediently breathed out a tiny flame, at it's biggest only a couple of centimetres.
"See?"
He put Coffee down a little distance away from her and went to speak to
Jigano. Adam took the edited words and looked at them, mouth moving as he sounded out each word in turn and made sure he could understand the whole thing. Finding he could, he smiled and nodded at the bard, putting the paper in his pocket.
"Great. Thanks. ...Hey...I dunno if you've got any experience in this kinda thing. But...do you think it'd be better to read it out or to give it to him like this? And...at the beginning or the end of the evening?"
Amalia really had over prepared, but Adam admired the effort and loved her all the more for it. She always put all of herself in for her friends.
"Pet likes cake, so I think the carrot cake sounds good. Uh.." Adam rolled up his sleeves, sure that would be a part of it.
"How do we start?"
Amun criticised his lack of living flowers, something Adam had not even considered.
"Well fine then. What would you want to decorate with? And don't say cum. I can feel you'll wanna say cum."
--

As always, you do not have to do these!
And I could never get enough
