Okay, good. Now they were four. Drewett, Missa, Kaiser, and Kodee . Sure, Kaiser wasn't too preoccupied with Drewett things at the moment, but he didn't think that feeling would necessarily translate if, for some bizarre reason, Alessandro had taken that seat. Or Gunnar.
Or - Merlin - Evan. One was fine. But both? Not... not quite as fine.
"That might be something to be concerned about," Kaiser said to Kodee in a low voice, with the aim that he caught nobody's attention but those at their table. At any right, he wasn't too bothered about Kodee's food-related eyesight issue. The guy could put away a lot of food, it was true, but he was also prone to hyperbole. Just one of his endearing qualities.
All too soon, the lesson was underway, and the theme was... predictable, given what was written on the board. And it was clear that Eris was... fairly enthusiastic about this particular celebration. Kaiser, meanwhile, couldn't... quite... relate...
... which was why, when Eris posed his first question, he simply could not answer.
Kaiser had never celebrated Hallowe'en 'properly'. Never dressed up for it, or, indeed, for anything. As a child, there had been... other priorities, and from the age of thirteen onwards, when he had had more of an opportunity to take part, there was just no appeal in it for him. It had been fun to see others enjoy it, sure, but Kaiser couldn't get into it himself. Maybe when he was very young it had been a different story, but that was beyond memory, a different life.
So Kaiser sat quietly and said nothing. He noticed that he was not, at least, alone in doing so. That was something of a relief.
