Around the island, Sunday afternoon

[hasaknightjob]

Steven and Llewellyn were men on a mission. Specifically a mission involving putting up fliers all around town. Specifically fliers which read:



Hanukkah Party
With Food & Friends
All Are Welcome
19 December, 8pm
Flat #15, MHA
(There's no dress code or anything. Don't have to bring anything either if you don't want. Just a bit of fun during the holidays. Though there will be alcohol so adults only, please.)
Questions? Contact Steven Grant or Det. Watts

If one came away from reading said fliers with the impression that a much beleaguered print shop clerk had given up and simply typed in everything Steven said as he said it... well there was good reason for that.

"I think they'll both understand," Stark said. "I don't know Steph as well and Annie and I haven't talked in...a long time. But they should both understand."

"Have a hard time imagining Steph not being understanding," Steven said. "And Annie's been kind every time I've seen her. She's good friends with Wanda so clearly a lovely person, same as her."

Steven was behind on some of the off island news.

"I don't know Wanda. We've met, I think, but we've never really spoken." There were some people here Stark just never managed to run into for whatever reasons.

"You're right though. I can't see Steph being upset with you. Curious seems more likely, doesn't it?"

[hasaknightjob]

"I think so, yeah," Steven said. "She always seems like the type who'd want to understand a thing before she made an opinion. Wouldn't leap to assume the worst. Even if she's from a world where people may have notions about what people like me and Marc were like."

"I hope it goes well," Stark said. "When you tell them. If I can help at all..."

He'd be happy to try, at least.

"Thank you," Steven said. He gave a wry smile. "Maybe even to fall on you after when I've done it but the nerves catch up with me again. Can't always be asking poor Llewellyn to bear it."

Llewellyn probably didn't mind though. Still. It was good to have friends.

[stykera]

"I'll do my best to catch you," Stark promised. "If you should need it."

[hasaknightjob]

That was really the sort of thing that would've gotten Stark a hug. But Steven assumed Stark's opinion on the matter hadn't changed in the past few moments, so he instead went with a smile and a, "Thank you."

[stykera]

Stark didn't mind hugs. He didn't get enough of them, really, and so didn't always recognize when they might be available.

"You're welcome. I mean it. I'm happy to help if I can."
