Re: 8:30pm

It had been Gaeta's fault as much as the younger kid's. Suddenly in the middle of a party he didn't belong at, unable to find a familiar face and far too sober to enjoy himself, he found it was hard to keep track of who was coming and going -- and where he ought to place himself in the midst of it all. He could always hang out by the bar (always a pleasant place to spend a night) but, grimacing, Felix worried it would make him seem even more anti-social than normal.

Then there was the dance floor -- but trying to dance without a partner was a sure way to look like an even bigger fool.

Seeing the lack of options, he went with his first instinct and turned toward the bar to maybe loosen his sense of self-worth. Not noticing (of course) the kid, until they'd near nearly knocked each other over. Stumbling back, Felix blinked, stunned out of his daydreaming. "Uh. Frak, no, I'm sorry...wasn't paying attention to where I was going." He may have been taller and older, but he didn't think either of those things should warrant disrespectful behavior. Nudging his way around him, he started to head toward the bar, only to find that the kid was heading in the same direction.

Sid gave a sheepish sort of smile at the other man's apology, glossing over the strange stand-in for what Sid could only assume was 'fuck.' "Me either, mate," he laughed, looking appropriately apologetic once more. "In any case, sorry," he said again. And then Sid was making his way toward the bar again. It seemed like the other man was on his way there as well.

Looking over at the other man as he took a cup from the stack and worked the keg like a pro, Sid raised his eyebrows. "Want a beer?" he asked, reaching toward the stack of cups to grab another, in case the other man did want one. He might as well just get both of them their drinks while he was at it, he supposed. The least he could do for knocking into the bloke.

Felix really didn't mind -- he'd had worse things happen to him than just a run-in. Honestly, from his perspective, it could have gone a lot worse had Sid been bigger and...angry. (Though Felix wasn't a fighter, he'd use words to get himself into more trouble than he could reasonably get out of.)

Lifting his eyebrows and running a hand back through his hair, he shrugged, seeing that the kid already had a cup in hand. "Um. Sure? Thanks," taking the beer when offered.

It was fizzy, but weak. Still, he wasn't about to complain. He glanced at Sid. "Some party."

Sid gave a shrug and a tight-lipped, awkward smile in response to being thanked for getting the bloke a beer. It wasn't like it was difficult to fill a cup from a keg, after all. Sid just didn't want the other man angry at him for being clumsy and stupid, was all. Better to cover the bases the way he had with the Master, he thought, when he'd gone to fetch the Master food. Though, the wad of cash had been a good help in his decision, to be fair, but that was beside the point.

After filling the cup, Sid handed it over to the man and then filled his own, taking a drink as he turned away from the keg and looked out at everyone else the the room. Again, he shrugged. "I s'pose," he agreed half-heartedly. He didn't see anyone he knew, but then again, Sid didn't know a lot of people. "'m just here because I was on my way up to my room after work and I heard all the bloody noise and thought I'd see what it was," he admitted. Then, he looked over at the man and decided he ought to introduce himself. "'m Sid," he offered, holding out his free hand to shake.

"Felix." He took the hand and shook it, firm but brief -- a master of the meet-and-greet. "My friend was hosting this so..." He shrugged, nonchalant as there was another moment of passing, gentlemanly silence. Felix took another drink. "I figured it was as good excuse as any to get out."

Though, despite being here solely to support his friend, Kimberly was nowhere in sight. At least not from where Felix could see in the wash of unfamiliar faces. He and Sid had that much in common -- they didn't really know a lot of people.
