seattle ; monday afternoon

Sam's birthday was in a few days. He'd honestly forgotten about it just due to the other things that had taken up residence in his head lately. It'd taken Ramon bringing it up to remind him. And when Ramon had realized that Sam had forgotten, he'd decided to throw a small, impromptu party at the house. Sam had tried to get out of it but Ramon had insisted and Sam hadn't been able to get him to relent.

Ramon had promised small and Sam was glad he was keeping to his word. There were a small group of people in the backyard, hanging out and chatting away. Ramon had even gotten his mom and Haley to show up which amused Sam, at least. Some had brought presents but most hadn't been prepared and Sam didn't really care anyway.

After getting over his initial dislike of the idea, Sam was a little more relaxed now. He had a drink in one hand and was quietly talking with Brid while the party went on around them.

He'd been nineteen in a few days and Sam was kind of amazed he was still alive. So, he could relax and enjoy himself.

[NFB but open for calls/texts/visits. Sam wouldn't have told a lot of people about his birthday but if you think you know and that Ramon might have called you, feel free to show up or call or whatever!]

Toby didn't have classes, which meant there was no reason for him not to be here so... here he was. He recognized Ramon and Frank from their visits to Fandom, of course, but the rest of the guests (minus Sam and Natalie, obviously) were new faces, so he was just taking a minute to try and figure out who they were.

[ooc: may be subject to bouts of SP as I'm moving today, but as I'm moving DOWNSTAIRS, at least I have internets while I do so. ]

"Well, judging by the voicemail I got, I can say with near certainty your slacker self wasn't the responsible for arranging this little shindig," Toby said with a snicker. "Mostly I'm just trying to figure out who's who."

Toby followed Sam's gaze and nodded. He'd thought the guy looked familiar, but while he'd actually talked to Frank during that Parent's Weekend visit, he'd only seen Ramon in passing.

"You don't like food and being the centre of attention?" Well. Probably more that second thing.

"No kidding. But at least I know who I'm gonna hide behind if like, a dragon swoops in..." he eyed Sam. "You don't have dragons here, do you?"

"Let's hope we never find out," Toby decided.

"Maybe I should thank him," Toby mused. "Even though he had absolutely no idea he was doing me a favour that way."

"And where do I go for the embarassing stories?" he asked with a grin.
