I. May Your Cup Overfloweth

Dressed in high-waisted pants and a billowing white shirt with a loud patterned scarf draped around his neck, Balthier hovers in the living room to greet guests and make sure there is a drink in their hand. Jewelry glimmers on fingers, wrists, and up his ears, lest he seem too casual. He'll make introduction if asked, or happily give tours of the house, but mostly tries to draw people into conversation.

"I will say I miss fresh meat but I don't miss fighting monsters for it."

II. Dinner!

He'll be up and down filling glasses -- but not serving plates thank you very much Loki -- and trying to get David to enjoy the meal he spent so long on. But he'll be easy enough to rope into conversation.

At some point once everyone's started he calls a toast. "To David's excellent cooking, which none of us are worthy of, and to friends new and old. Thank you for joining us."

III. Slipping Away

Need to talk to him privately? Feel free to catch him outside on the porch or upstairs in the study, or maybe drag him downstairs near the laundry machine. He might even show you his hoverbike.

Or, if you slip away alone, don't be surprised if he comes to check on you.

[ OOC: will patch prose or brackets I have no preference and clearly flip back and forth willy nilly ]
