Astoria, Blaise, and Open
Blaise too had taken a gander at Greg's birthday list. He was slightly shocked when he saw a set of gobstones but decided to take advantage of his connections to get a fairly decent set. Purchasing a tournament grade set he sent the box off to the winning team from the most recent tournament and had them autograph the inside lid of the storage box. After adding his gift to the table Blaise made the necessary rounds before grabbing a glass of alcohol and making his way outside where he could have some space and silent reflection before heading back to join the party.
"It is now," he said looking up to see who was joining him. A quick glance let him relax as he noticed it was someone from his own circle, even if she was a few years younger. "No one interesting enough inside to keep you occupied?" As he said it Blaise recalled the time when he would have done anything to keep a woman entertained enough that she wouldn't want to leave his side. He needed to once again find that individual and coax him to come out and play.
