[ Of course the last party was wilder than this. Fabian seems like the type. It's easy to picture a whole parade of various fantastical girls and cool guys traipsing into some hellish party pad prepared to take the roof - possibly literally - off the place.
It's also easy to believe Fabian is having a good time here, anyway. He's built for having a good time. It's a skill Krouse has never cultivated jealousy over, because he might as well be jealous of a chameleon's ability to change colours. It's so far out of his reach it'd be pointless.
Personally, he finds it easy to be miserable when he's not alone. That he's avoiding it here so far is the surprising part, nearly as much so as Fabian's loose inclusion of him in the category of pal. ]

I got you something. It's not much, but - can't show up at a birthday party empty-handed, right?
[ The 'something' in question is a black baseball cap, emblazoned with white all caps letters reading GO SPORTS. It struck Krouse as funny in the Roxx, and he's hopeful on being able to defend it here, now that the possibility it won't go over quite as well as he anticipated is occurring to him. ]
