Ayontay wouldn’t call himself anti-social, but he supposed if someone called him introverted, they wouldn’t really be wrong. He was quiet and often preferred to sit on the sidelines watching what everyone else was up to rather than getting too involved in whatever craziness his fellow ‘brats had come up with that day. Some things he didn’t even bother attending if he decided the risk was too great and Nerreh’s birthday celebration was close to being counted as one of those things. However, his well-intentioned older siblings had practically bullied him into going. T’ryn told him he should get out more and now that so many people his age were in one place again, it was the best time, while Mylorah said she heard Madiquel was going to stop by as well. That was enough to get him to agree to show up for a little while. He didn’t mind Nerreh and he was sure other people he knew and even liked would be there.
He didn’t know what to expect but a lot of drunken teens was not on the list. From what he could tell, sitting in his quiet corner of the main room with Madiquel beside him as they both drank boring water, most of the ones that had gone overboard on the drinking were recent Searches that found they were being so daring and rebellious by the partying. It probably explained the one couple with extremely wandering hands across the room as well.
It hadn’t taken him long after showing up, gift in hand that was quickly passed over to Nerreh, to find out he was in over his head and didn’t belong. But Ayontay was determined to have some fun and he didn’t want to leave Madiquel alone to defend herself against such wild times. What would her father think! Ayontay could just imagine Jajojin finding out he had been there but left instead of guarding his precious daughter. The crazy switch would definitely flip to on in that moment and Ayontay couldn’t suppress the shudder that brought on.
“I don’t think I’ll stay much longer. This is a bit much for me,” he confessed to Madiquel, one of the only people he’d say such a thing to. He knew she wouldn’t think less of him for not enjoying himself like everyone else. Even with the idea that Jajojin would kill him looming over his head, Ayontay didn’t think he’d stay until the party was shut down and hoped Madiquel wouldn’t either. If she was having fun, though, he’d try to stay and be a supportive friend to her interests.
