One last party
Who: Arnold (and Benedict) and OPEN!
Where: The Benedict Family House in Locke
When: Now, and til... whenever I guess
What: Arnold's doing an art exhibit, and opening it with a massive party. Because that's what you do when you're idle rich, apparently. Numbered get in free but it *is* open to the public. Once the party is done, the main room of the house will remain open until he gets bored and closes it to have an exhibition elsewhere.
He's wanted to do an exhibit ever since he came to Locke, but what with one thing or another...
But you know, with the Moon being a Snake (and gosh darn it, but he wishes he hadn't slept through his mythology classes)... HEY you only live once right? There'll be flyers posted and ads on the TV, and his friends and pseudo family get invites. Numbered get in free, but Benedict Galleries is holding an open exhibition at the house in Locke.
Anyone and everyone is welcome, catering is provided. There'll be sculpture and art and a live band. Why not come along?
Arnold will be his professional best, grinning and chatting and hobnobbing, or maybe you just want to mingle? Catch up with a few friends, maybe. Benedict's around as well, being quiet and shy and retiring, but if you want to talk art, particularly some of the stranger avant garde type things, he's your man.
Come in, the booze is free.
And for family... well. He wants them to meet, the girl who might be his mother, and the boy who is definitely his father. And he wants them to meet Liam, and Julien, and he wants them to be friends. And if the world really is ending... well. What better place is there to meet that than with family, after all.

"No, definitely wasn't him. I wasn't a Noldor like at all, so my other dad had to be someone else."

"Well, I speak Sindarin. So I guess that makes sense if the words are related..."
He pauses.
"Then again like, everybody speaks it. Dad speaks it."

It was obvious by now that this kid was an Elf, considering the ears and being his...grand...father-ish type person? That was a really strange thought.
"What's your name again?"
no subject
"And I'm Feivel Arandale. Gabriel is my father's cousin."
ahaha i love this little brat
"I'm not too surprised, dude. Everybody seems to be related to everybody... but hey, nice to meet you. I'm Liam."
He's back to his wine after that, unintentionally becoming a bit fidgety and looking uncomfortable.
no subject
...If the wine makes you fidgety like that, you should really stop drinking it. Unless you're an alcoholic and it makes the fidgeting go away, but you look a bit young for that." So much disapproval.
no subject
At the criticism. , he nearly spits his drink before he gives the kid an annoyed and offended look.
"Seriously? Dude, first, I'm an adult, so I can do what I want. Second, this is like, only glass two and it's not what's making me uncomfortable, okay?"
Truthfully he was trying to use the wine to keep himself together, but Feivel didn't need to know that.

"Look, it has to do with some past life stuff with my dad, it's none of your business."
no subject
no subject
"You're not his dad now so you don't need to know about that kind of stuff. It's not it was a video game back then, it was real and when people killed people and people died it really happened."
no subject
"Only someone who is mentally five will not understand that people still kill each other in our time, which is also real, and that anyone who is able to watch and comprehend the news will have heard and seen enough of that. Unless they exposure to this world is entirely through videogames, which isn't true for me." 'But perhaps for you' goes unsaid, but hangs very loudly in the air.
no subject
"It's one thing to see it on the news, but it's another to live it - trust me, you don't want to know."
If he was thinking a little more clearly, perhaps he would have even felt sorry for the kid being rather young and numbered, but at the moment his own lack of maturity was acting up.
no subject
It's not going too well, but he's still managing to emanate an aura of "you are dumb".
no subject
"Oh my God, fine! You want to know what my problem is?" Liam starts gesturing wildly while he speaks.
"Maybe it's all the - I don't know - people being killed and dying? Maybe it's finding out my dad is a kinslayer, because that sounds like a great job description. Maybe I'm just done with this numbered stuff, and all the weird memories and random horses and shit, okay? Happy now?"
no subject
And it hits hard, though that is barely visible - his eyes widen by only a fraction, and his stance doesn't change, but then he abruptly turns around without a word and walks away, towards the exit.
no subject
A small part of him does feel guilty for snapping, but in stubbornness he pushes that thought aside and turns back to the snack table. The kid seemed tough, he probably hadn't traumatized him or anything.
