Porthos is glad he did this. There are plenty of vets in the area, and even if they're from different branches, Porthos considers them to be brothers and sisters.

Aramis's dessert table looks amazing, of course, and Porthos is working the grill. Whistling while he works and all of that. Turning out piles of burgers (with and without cheese), hot dogs, and steaks. Grilled vegetables too, of course, for those heathens who don't eat meat.

There's music playing, the weather is nice, and it's a decent turnout. Yeah, definitely glad he did this.

Frank isn't really the socializing type, but Porthos is something of an old friend so he figures this is something he may as well do. He has nothing to bring, but he doesn't feel that broken up about it.

He weaves his way through the backyard until he finds Porthos.

"Hey."

"Hey yourself!" Frank gets pulled into a tight hug and Porthos claps him on the back with a laugh.

"Good to see your ugly mug here. Settling in all right?"

Frank grunts a bit, not hugging back but giving Porthos a sight clap on the shoulder.

"Yeah. It's all right."

"Some day I'll get a hug back." He punches him in the shoulder, a little rougher than he might anyone else. Frank can take it.

"Go and get food. There's beer and everything too, of course."

"Over my dead body." There's even some humour in the words. And Frank punches back, for good measure.

"You really went for it, huh? Nice to see domesticity's treating you well."

"Nah, I would have done this anyway. But being married is great, I'm loving it. He's a good man and I'm lucky to have him."

Frank just nods. Porthos just seems like the family type. Frank's not surprised he enjoys it.

"Good way of looking at it."

Dessert table, burgers, steaks, hot dogs and grilled veggies? How could Sharon stay away? She was happy to come over with Viv, happy to be mingling with her daughter's fathers and his friends, celebrating a day of honor and respect for those who have served this country so bolly and bravely.

She stands now, with Viv in a backpack against her chest, drinking a beer and chatting with someone she isn't really close with. That's the way to spend Veteran's day, after all. To meet new people and make friends?

"My two favourite ladies!"

Porthos kisses Sharon on the cheek and immediately goes to scoop Viv up, carefully, from her carrying pack and holds her against his chest instead. He loves his daughter more than anything, and any chance he can take to cuddle her and spoil her, he does.

"Having fun so far?"

"Porthos!" Sharon grins at the kiss, then unstraps Viv from her chest so that Porthos can carry her instead. She can't help but smile at the sight of Viv with her Daddy. So cute.

"So far so good." She stretches her chest a little bit now that the baby's weight is off it, and then sips again from her beer bottle. "You guys sure throw a good party."

"Well I know how to throw food together, anyway." He's talking to Sharon but his eyes are on Viv, tapping her tiny little nose and kissing at her soft cheeks.

Today is Stefan's first Veterans day back in the States after his tours overseas. After seeing the invitation on Valarnet, he decided it was time to start meeting some of the other vets in the area. So, he heads to the house address on the invite, a bit nervously, and then knocks on the door.

Stefan's not much of a cook. He doesn't drink the same way other people do. But he does like to snack on foods that he liked when he was human, so he carries with him a bag of corn chips and a little bucket of fresh salsa. To share, obviously.

Then he knocks on the door.

It takes him a moment to get there, but he does get there, opening the door wide with a grin. "Hello! Hello, come on in. You're here for the barbeque?"

Stefan gets ushered in and guided towards the back yard, chips and salsa and all.

"I'm Porthos, I'm happy you're here. Remind me your name?"

"Porthos, hi." Stefan follows along behind the other man, pretty upbeat, considering. It's a beautiful day, anyway, and he's not too distracted by the smell of so many humans nearby.

"Stefan Salvatore. I returned from overseas in May, this is my first Veteran's Day since I enlisted that I've spent on the main land."

"Stefan, right. Well welcome back home." He claps Stefan on the back, friendly and smiling. "If there's anything I can do, other than inviting you to parties, let me know all right? Always happy to help a brother in arms."

Crowds never sit well with Max. There are too many voices inside his head for him to be able to handle the others outside himself doubling up on him. He accepted Porthos's invitation for a barbeque to celebrate Veteran's Day largely because he was interested in seeing how his friend was settling into fatherhood. Max enjoyed spending time with Splendid and her boy, Valerian, though he was beginning to worry he took up too much of her time. She remembered him now.

What he'd done to her.

Skirting the people mingling in the lawn, Max made his way to where Porthos was working the grill. He stood silently at his friend's side, watching him flip burgers, roll hot dogs, season steaks and vegetable skewers. It was all seemingly effortless. Max remembered cooking over a fire on several occasions in the service. He'd simply been glad to have his meat cooked. Max wasn't the kind who could have done all Porthos was doing without falling behind on one area or another. His mind wouldn't allow him to multi-task the way most could; Max had never been much of a cook. The limits of his abilities were usually microwaving or throwing something in to reheat. The meals he prepared on his rig? They came from fueling station lobbies or coolers. The life Porthos lived seemed strange, almost alien to him in comparison. He was grateful for the invitation even if he was too damaged to be useful.

Porthos knows the effort it must have taken for Max to be out here, and he's proud of the man for that. PTSD is a son of a bitch, and he's so pleased to see Max out and about.

He'll send Max home with plenty of left overs, too. Something other than gas station meals.

He places a gentle hand at Max's back as he hands over a plate filled with food, giving him a warm smile. "It's good to see you here, Max. I want to come visit you more, now that my life has evened out a bit, you know?"
