Thankfully, these images went away almost as quickly as they had appeared when none other than Jasper Fray made his way over and began to address them both. [i]”Kavan,”[/i] the other guy said as he came to a stop next to Danielle. [i]”Hows it going man?”[/i] [color=#851309][b]"Jasper, my man,"[/b][/color] Kavan said just as enthusiastically as he gave Jasper's shoulder a quick clasp. [color=#851309][b]"Everything's going pretty well, I guess. No complaints, really. How about you?"[/b][/color] Kavan's voice began to trail off at the end, however, once he noticed Danielle's reaction to Jasper's presence. The young man watched with a raised eyebrow as the two introduced themselves to each other. It was after they'd shaken hands that the two spent an additional few moments locking eyes with one another, which only made Kavan suddenly feel like an awkward third wheel. Soon afterwards, however, Danielle returned her attention to Kavan and asked where his date was, to which he simply responded with a shrug of his shoulders. [color=#851309][b]"I came with Ariel Grey. She went to get something to drink a few minutes ago..."[/b][/color] the young man's voice trailed once again as he took a quick look around the room, searching for his red-headed friend. He spotted her pretty quickly. She was standing by the refreshment table, drinking from a paper cup just as she said she would. What momentarily caught the young man off guard, however, was who'd decided to join her just as she went to refill her cup. [color=#851309][b]"And... now she's over there speaking with her ex boyfriend. Great."[/b][/color] While Kavan didn't necessarily have anything against Kavi Salvador, seeing the young man approach Ariel made him a little wary. To be honest, he wasn't sure how Ariel would handle the situation; as Kavan forced himself to look away and refocus his attention on the group he was now with, he couldn't help but hope that there wouldn't be yet another big scene.[/indent][/indent][/indent][/color]
