Pavel and Open
After Galad found him and gave him his belated birthday gift and Pavel gave his thanks. The Fae grabbed himself a glass of the non-birthday vodka. Socializing was one of those things he was supposed to do more of, one of the 'taking a risk' and 'putting himself out there' things he'd sworn he'd do. So soon he found himself sitting with a group of people, some he knew from classes but had never actually socialized with. The conversation was pretty mundane, mainly he listened to the others bitch about school and homework. One of them congratulated Pavel on getting a part in the play.
After a while of conversation one of the girls moved to sit closer to the Fae. He knew of her and from what someone had said early she was human with some gift. She started to chat him up and Pavel was really happy he wore his gloves to the party when she placed her hand on his. "Oh, I." He chuckled and stood up. "I am going to go get refill." Pavel gave a nod to the group and quickly left. Shaking his head slightly as he hurried away he almost collided with someone. Almost, he managed to look up at the last minute and step aside, but it was clear it was a near miss. "Sorry." He apologized for the near miss.
