"It's their nature, and nurture, isn't it? They're natural helpers, and they're raised to be so. I'm sure there's an angry rogue elf around somewhere that'd rather you waited on them."
Heh. That would, actually, be quite amusing. Maybe Charlie would find said creature: there was always an anomaly in a bunch, wasn't there? Chance. "Yeah, mattress surfing." Nod nod, well done for listening. "What're s'mores?" The question was out before Charlie even knew she was asking it, but never mind - the kid could think whatever he wanted about her, for she'd be gone in a year.
"I don't mind. I expect you want to get back to your party." If he wanted to stay, he could. She was actually enjoying the company of just one person.
Phoenix rarely noticed awkward situations. He didn't get himself into them very often, what with him being totally
cluelessadaptable to any situation.
"Yep, nectar of the gods." He tapped the bottle of lemonade, a big smile on his face.
"I want to meet this rogue elf." Phe's brain whirred a little as he imagined a little house elf with a mohawk and a bunch of piercings and a pillow case with a punk band on it... That'd be so cool.
"S'mores? They're like... biscuit, melted chocolate, melted marshmallow, biscuit." He motioned the layer-age with his hands.
"Kinda like diabetes in a sandwich. They're delicious." And awesome. And he was going to eat at least another three before he went to bed later tonight.
Back to the party... or cheer up someone who was looking lonely... or maybe she wanted to be left alone? But she said she didn't mind. Phe wasn't really sure...
"I guess I should get back... I told them I'd only be a minute, but I got lost on the way down here." He still had to get back upstairs without losing himself again... at least he had lovely lemonade this time.
