Welcome to Gaia! ::

Any fear that Gwen might have had about arriving at the wrong party was immediately quelled by the sight of Orah’s arm flailing around, and despite the crowd there, Gwen was able to take advantage of her small size and maneuvered her way towards her friend with relative easy. There were times when being both short and having a small frame helped and now was definitely one of those times, especially when there was a rather tall and beefy blonde man that she had to work around. Had Gwen not already had a significant other, she would have stopped and admired his impressive physique, but she was already running late and she was certain that Orah and Arian wouldn’t approve of her being even MORE late by staring at one of their friends.

With chocolates and bouquet of flowers in hand, Gwen managed to make her way through and set them down on the table of gifts. Or at least she assumed it was a table of gifts- there were others items wrapped up, so perhaps it was safe to assume as much. Neither one were labelled and there were no colors to indicate whose was whose, but it was the last thing on Gwen’s mind as Orah addressed the crowd with the one question she had been dying to hear all day.

“Me! Me! I love cake!”

Arian nodded "Yes it was," he agreed as he reached out to shake Björn's offered hand, very much aware of the difference in hand-size. "And it's okay, the eclipse party was a while back." In fact he probably wouldn't have remembered their previous meeting himself given how brief it had been if not for the fact that the other was so much bigger than him. "It's nice to meet you again." So far Orah's friends had all seemed pretty nice and Arian was feeling pretty silly at his earlier worries about how their non mutual friends would get on.

Although talking about friends, his smile widened slightly as he heard the sound of a familiar voice "Hi Gwen" he called from where he was as he spotted the black and white-haired teen, the smile lingering at her antics as Orah asked who wanted cake and added his own quiet "I'd love some." Since he'd spotted the cake he'd been really, really looking forward to a slice.

He thanked Orah as she pushed a slice of cake in his hands, but much as he wanted to (and his sweet tooth especially wanted to) he didn't immediately dig in, part of him wondering if he should give Orah a hand giving out slices of cake.

And although he personally didn't mind whether Happy Birthday was sung or not, both Lily and Paris were both right - it was kind of tradition so when cake handing out was temporarily suspended, Arian joined in, smiling slightly at Orah as he held onto the plate of cake and sang Happy Birthday to her in a light tenor.
