Scorpius wandered over to the snack table after leaving Lori for a little bit. They both had friends and were both visiting them, and he was perfectly happy, and that felt good. He really couldn't explain how easy it was to be around him. He didn't want to fight, or yell, or scream. He just felt good.
He took a beer and some crisps and looked around the room for Al who hadn't been around much. Actually, he didn't mind talking to anyone period. It was nice to be at a party and actually enjoy it. 2025 was better than 2024 by far.
