George never knew what to give adults for their birthdays. Didn't adults usually already have everything they needed? Still, it was a party, so he'd managed a bottle of amusing looking liqour and an interesting art book he'd found while wandering in town, all tucked into a bag full of sweets from the shop.
He set the bag among a flurry of other gifts and poured himself a drink before finding an out-of-the-way spot to perch. Not that he planned to be a wallflower, but everyone seemed to be chatting and drink first, party second was his general rule.
