and, shit, if gwen's speech doesn't kick him right in the feels. pay no attention to the tears forming, he's just got something in his eye, okay. but he raises a glass at the end, takes a nice long drink, and prepares himself for cake. ]
First cronuts, now cake. I'm beginning to think our whole friendship might be based around food. [ he goes for a more light-hearted conversation starter, because otherwise he would be prone to rambling about how much her speech resonated with him. and it's gwen's birthday, so now is definitely not the time to unpack everything, he'll just do that never later, in the confines of his own room. probably.
