[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.

It helps when your friend's a social butterfly. And has already been here for a year by the time you show up.

[Even if he still feels guilty about that.]

It seems like it would just help to have a friend who's a social butterfly.

[Probably Gregor would be happier that way.]

It'd probably make it easier for this party you're trying to throw.

I think if I weren't here he might not even tell anyone it was birthday.

[It wasn't all that long ago that he was like that, far more reclusive and shy than he is today. It makes it easier to understand Gregor's side of things, too.]

Birthdays aren't all that important.

Having fun is, and birthdays are a pretty good excuse.

As good an excuse as any.

Then I look forward to seeing you there.

Just give me a date, time and place. I'll make certain that we're both there.

The 22nd, 6:30, and I'll figure out the last.

Cool. And if you need a musician, let me know.

[He might not have his fiddle yet, but he can improvise if need be.]
