[Well, if he's going to be invited, of course he's going to join Viktor on the other side of the plant. The bit of talking around this plant is plenty funny, but both of them hiding behind it is probably funnier? That and he'd like to actually look at Viktor without leaves in the way, if they're going to keep talking for a while. Palamedes moves promptly to join him on the other side, muttering an 'Excuse me' as he shuffles around - is that for Viktor or the plant? It's anyone's guess.

But hi, hello, he's here. He did not bring any leaf water for himself because he's not into temperatures, so instead he's found a loose leaf to fidget with. If he gives it a strange look, never mind that for now, he'll explain the leafy mystery later.]

Next time. [he WILL see the right hook one day!!] So it's party dangerously, tough shit for the rest of us, is it? It's the hyper-vigilance about celebrating that sets my teeth on edge.

[But! Shrug! Maybe the dashing heroics were very nice, and deserve this huge of a rager. Maybe Palamedes just doesn't get out much. Either way, this party could use more hot intellectual debates.]

I could just be no fun at parties.
