The party takes a long time to wind down. Even after most of the crowd has left, there’s still a few stragglers - Austin sees Abyss among them and gets the feeling that these are Naberius’s real friends sticking around to chat. Naberius doesn’t seem to want to show him off anymore, not after he ran off in the middle of talking to Kesi and Gen, so Austin slips out of the ballroom and up to his room. He’s not quite tired - there’s still anxious energy buzzing around under his skin - but a bath and a change of clothes would be nice.
