[Ivan strongly considers filtering this from Gregor, but he thinks the man can have input into his own party. If his input is the 'don't throw me a party' kind then Ivan can always ignore it. He's aware that his mother would be appalled at him for starting his planning so late, but Ivan's reasonably certain that he can still gather in one place all the essential ingredients: food, attractive women, alcohol, and Gregor. Still, he suspects that Gregor might want something more and what that something would be Ivan does not know.

So he turns to his journal, bringer of wisdom -- or at least other people's perspectives.]

What makes a party fun for you?

Me, I'm easy to please, I think. But some people are really sold on having tiny iced cakes that look like Earth, as an example.

[And for some people things that look like Earth are out of the question. Gregor might be more interested in that sort of difference than Ivan is. Actually...]

And if there's anything you do where you're from that you don't see done here, you might share that as well.

[The response is a little glum, but as far as Ivan can tell Gregor really doesn't have much fun at all.]

...Yeah.

That doesn't sound promising.

Who is he, anyway?

Greg. Ahh. Bleakman.

[Fitting alias for Gregor to have chosen, except that Ivan hates it.]

[There's a pause, because Amelia recognizes the name. She's run into Greg a few times now--most recently on the hospital mission.]

...Cream cakes. He likes the ones from the bakery.

Thank you!

I'll be sure to get him some.

Sure.

So does that make you Ivan?

Yeah. He's spoken about me?

Sort of. He mentioned you when we ran into each other during the thing with the Kin'Corans.

Ah. I'd hope he had favorable things to mention about me, but I somehow doubt it.

He trusts you.

[Or so it seems to Amelia, even if Greg didn't outright say it.]

Oh. That's...good then.

[Ivan hopes he can justify that, though it won't change anything he'll do.]

I'd think so.

[Especially since Ivan's going to the trouble of planning a birthday celebration for the guy.]

Good luck with your party.

Thanks.

[He just hopes it makes Gregor happy.]

I'll see you there, I trust?

[Huh. Amelia isn't expecting an actual invite, but why not? Greg isn't a bad guy from what she can tell.]

...Sure.

[Although that brings up another question. She puts up a filter.]

Any suggestions for gifts?

[Ivan's inviting pretty much anyone.]

I really don't know that my guess would be any better than yours.

[He knows how to make a girl feel special, huh?]

Great. Guess I'll see you there.

[Well, he will remember her and he will be pleased to see her, Ivan's just not about to be discriminatory in his invitations.]
