Re: Gabe/Nish/Rafe - 8:02 p.m., back by the punch bowl
Gabe's hand went to the small of Rafe's back, but he nodded in agreement with Rafe's advice.
"It certainly sounds like a discussion you two need to have," he said, watching Nish's face for her reaction. "But maybe it's time to take a step back, and just enjoy the party for a little while?" He certainly didn't want to get in the middle of a lover's spat, and not in the middle of the party. If worst came to worst, they could always go back upstairs to get away from everyone; being in public and trying to air out one's emotions never paired well together.
"Also, maybe eat something...?" He suggested, the hand holding his drink (which he mentally winced at, since it did little to aid his point) moving toward the pumpkin-shaped paper plates and the strange food. Alcohol wasn't going to help things, and something in Nish's stomach would offset that.
