Aaron Cardinal | Male | 24 | Heterosexual | M: Stephon Long, Lily Thorne, Eris Narkissa, Hazel Jones

To his annoyance, Stephon kept on talking and yammering about old man stuff. Half-listening, Aaron just agreed to whatever the old man was saying. His only actual words was when he introduced himself. Then another woman approached and Aaron greeted her with a cheery wave when he saw her.

“Hello!” He smiled at her. “I’m Aaron and it is nice to meet you.” He bowed slightly. “The party has been lovely and I hope you have been enjoying yourself. The only thing missing from this is some wine or a glass of champagne.” He said and took another soft bite out of his cheese. He continued after he finished chewing, “Luckily their finger foods make up for it.” With that he finished his slice of cheese.

Then he heard a woman panic. Apparently she had forgotten to bring a mask, or maybe she was a simpleton and didn’t know what a masquerade was. Whatever she was or her state, he chose not to be bothered with it. Moments later she mentioned the strawberries.

“Shoot! How many are left?” He asked her and pushed through his dinner companions to where the strawberries once were.

The platter was once piled high with them, now he could see the bottom. Carefully, he picked up two and ate them. The sweet flavor of the chocolate on the cool fruit made him want to sing, but if he did then he’d have to stop chewing which could potentially lead to death. He enjoyed the juices on his lips and on his mouth as he munched at another one. Sure, he thought, women were pretty and good company, but I haven’t had a chocolate covered strawberry in years!

Earlier he generously offered up his own plate for Hazel, but that was because he hadn’t figured that they would’ve run out. After all, there were dozens of other desserts on the table. Now that he realized that one of his favorite treats was about to be emptied, he forgot about the girls. The strawberries were better by far.
