molly gives caleb one more once over, a sly smirk playing at his features while he drags his shy wizard from his bedroom and out to the party. it's, thankfully, well under way, with beau and yasha flirting over a deck of cards, calianna and jester excitedly discussing something together on the couch, and fjord looking dejected as caduceus reassures him. essek has arrived, as well, but he stands alone with a glass of wine held close to his chest. veth and yeza have just arrived, so molly turns back to caleb and leans in to kiss his cheek.

"go say hello to your friends, if you like. i'll make us drinks, okay?"

molly smiles, squeezes his hand, then slips away, choosing something boozy to inebriate the both of them.
