[h2] Griff [/h2] 

Griff had stood up the moment that Ava had rejected his offer to be her onboard taxi. She wanted to freshen up.  Griff felt how an idea began to form in his head, he should go and freshen up too. He couldn't show up to the party in a sweaty pilot outfit. 

He had given Ava a salute and nodded his head to her request as he went to the showers. He did pick the right one this time. Right? 

The blond man returned to his room after showering, clad in a fully black bodysuit, then having put his pilot suit into the washing machine, he went to the wardrobe and pulled out his second pilot outfit which was identical to the first one. 

Griff gave a broad grin. He was a man prepared for anything. He took it on and hooked his pilot helmet to his belt harness. 

If he was a sneaky alien, thwn what better opportunity to attack than when they were eating steak and drinking? Griff nodded to himself. He wanted to be ready for that possibility, that said he was still planning to get drunk. He still wanted to forget about Sparks winning. 

The blond man made his way to the party, he was reqdy to fight, eqt and drink. Perhsps he could drink more than Sparks? Or eat more steaks? Providing Minerva had not eaten up everything. 

He also had to make sure Serah and Elora got to eat at least two steaks each, they needed to grow bigger! More protein! Then his mind fell on Lucius. That guy also was in severe need of getting a steak and needed to be dragged to the gym as far as Griff was concerned. 

[i] 'Don't worry broster, we'll make a man out of you yet! Hoooaaaah!' [/i] He mentally chanted in his own head before stepping into the cafeteria, he wanted to make a good impression and letting the others know that he had arrived. 

[b]"Yo everybody! The Griffman have arrived! Hooo yeah! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but our boss lady Ava will be late! She had to freshen up after all the fun we had together!" [/b] Griff held out his arm, made a thumbs up, smiled broadly with his eyes closed. He felt a surge of confidence, he definitely felt like this was something the red ranger would do. 

Then the confident blond opened his eyes and spotted Ava. 

[b]"Oh."[/b] Griff said in a surprised and awkward manner, he reached up to scratch his head and neck. [b]"You are already here. Whoops. Well! One cannot be too safe! Hey wait a second... what if you are a spy alien in disguise? How would I know it's really you?" [/b] Griff tone changed to a suspicious tone, as if doubt was beginning to take root. 

Could Ava have freshened up and gotten here before he did? The blond man thought, his head starting to hurt slightly. He really needed to find a drink and steak. 

[b]"Oh! Right. Last one to get a steak is a lame mother goose." [/b] He said and raised a finger up as he moved to find the currently two most important things in the world, steak and a drink. Spotting Elora sitting by one of the tables with many of the others. Perfect. He was going to go and sit down next to Elora as soon as he would get the biggest baddest steak
