[ the door slides open quietly under his push, greeting him with the sight of the mansion interior bathed in a golden yellow light -- a welcoming atmosphere. smiles, allowing himself to feel mildly impressed that the decorations were not as atrocious or in excess as the (semi-)disastrous party-meeting in their shared past. the first goal of his evening long-since decided, he gives alyssa a kiss to the forehead, brianna a silent look to communicate his intention & a final murmur of departure to his little brothers before he gently detaches himself from them -- but not for long, he hopes, for they are who he wishes to be around the most tonight -- in search of a certain boy-turned-man (mentally, at least).

is rather glad that there seems to be a distinct lack of them running around, making his search very short & effortless. gives anna a small bow & a polite (but well-meant) smile. ]

Good evening.

Uh-huh, whatever you say.

You doubtin' me? [ shoves at playfully, but with more force. ] Prove me wrong then, tough guy.

[ was reaching for one of the leftover tarts when he's shoved, turning to look at damon again. ]

Huh? What's that? Couldn't hear anything over your whining.

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

[ takes the moment of nathan's distraction to swipe at the tart. ]

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ gasps, looking utterly appalled. ]

YOU ASS!

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

[ & into his mouth & stomach it goes. ]

Fast bird, worm, etc. Got nothing but your slowness to blame, N!

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ looks longingly at the empty plate of tarts. ]

Aw, man...

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

[ already making his way to the cake table. ]

Stop your mourning and come try these.

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ perks up instantly, trotting along behind him quickly so that he can follow side-by-side. ]

I'm surprised you didn't eat everything already.

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

I'm workin' on it.

[ points to some of the cakes near the edge of the table while grabbing one himself. ] Try those.

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ eyes widen a tad at the food, reaching out to snatch and start chewing on one. can't help himself when he belatedly mutters underneath his breath: ]

Fatty.

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

[ shoots nathan a warning glance from the corner of his eyes. ]

Watch it, or you ain't seein' any more of these cakes.

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ grabs a few more and crams one, just in case. ]

Geez, didn't know you were so sensitive.

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

[ swallows before answering, raising an eyebrow. ]

S'a lot of things you don't know.

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ blinks, honestly surprised. ]

Really?

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

[ gives him a half-grin, turning his attention back to the cakes, the speed of his eating suddenly doubling. ]

1/2

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ looks thoughtfully down at his cake, frowning at it a bit as he thinks... ]

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ --and then just shrugs and noms one down, letting his thoughts go for now. ]

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

[ eats for a little longer before he suddenly freezes, followed by a hand lifting itself to point at a table at the other end of the room. ]

COFFEE SPOTTED.

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ is in mid-chew when he turns his head around quickly. ]

COFFEE!?

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

COFFEE. CHARGE!!

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ can only let out a muffled noise of victory, running over in that direction so that he can get there first. ]

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

[ is darting toward it too as well, taking larger steps to help with his haste in reaching the prize. ]

[prideofchange.livejournal.com]

[ gets there first, quickly making himself a cup. is about to chug it down but suddenly remembers that it's really hot-- sputters when the first few drops hits his tongue. ]

DAMNIT.

[prideofunity.livejournal.com]

[ pauses in where he is leisurely sipping at own share of the drink to snicker. ]

Real smart. S'what my little bro is.
