[ Look, Fabian is just so cool that he can make this cape thing work, okay. Or at least-- that's what he figures, standing there with it still hanging over his shoulders. At least he's looking.. confident about it? That's got to count for something, right. ]

Yeah!

[ Another confidence thing. Fabian says it so easily, like it's just natural. ]

Or most of them, anyway. Some of them I only met at that coffee date thing that was going on after we got out of the maze. I was thinking about asking Adaine about what friends she made here so I could invite them specifically, but.. I didn't want to ruin the surprise for her, and I figured that if I just invited everyone I got to know over the past month, some of her friends were bound to be among that group too, right?

[ That might actually just be true. Considering it kind of seems like literally half the population of this weird place is here at the party right now.

In fact, the confidence doesn't move into any sort of tone that's more akin to surprised or confused until he asks: ]

What do you mean though, you've only met one guy?

[ Sure, Riz isn't him. But in Fabian's overly social world he figures even Riz must have met at least more than one person here he's on friendly terms with! If he could become friends with Fabian, then he could become friends with anyone, right? ]
