Bastian felt a little out of his depth what with it being the first party of the year and in fact the first party he had even attended in this country. He cursed himself under his breath for once again, dressing entirely too warmly and settled for flopping onto the ground on top of his coat and opening a beer. It was a mystery where all these students got alcohol from, Bas had had enough trouble trying to procur some himself.

Sipping quietly he contented himself with people watching, smiling at whoever caught his eye and laughing at some of the more outgoing kid's antics.
