[Gren takes the tie, flicking it over his shoulder so he can fix R's collar first. That's the problem when you have one less arm, everything takes twice as long.]
Last one I went to ended pretty badly, so I don't go to them no more. What with all the eating Nords and shit. Can't fuckin' stand parties.
[He puts the tie around R's neck, slowly working on fix it up.]
I'm probably gonna go stay in the lake til it's over.
[It's funny, how it never even occurred to him that Gren might not be able to do this with one hand. He manages everything else well enough, so why not tying a tie? He ducks his head slightly with a small, timid smile as his collar is fixed up, standing patiently. He's good at being patient.]
No, I'm not a people person. But that ain't why I avoid it.
[He finishes the tie, setting the collar right again. There you go, R, you look great.]
I got really fuckin' good hearing. Parties are like having a sack of fuckin' bricks being slammed the hell into my skull repeatedly. Hence why my whole story with the...uh Nord murdering and all that shit. I just try and get as far the hell away from the noise as I can these days.
Oh... [R's a quiet person by nature, but he subconsciously lowers the volume of his voice still further with that knowledge. It's not something that he minds. Raising his voice has always been something he's found difficult, unless he's angry.]
That... that makes sense. Is it quiet at the bottom of the lake?
[Gren catches the lowered volume, and his lips curve in a quick, grateful smile.]
Yeah, sound don't carry so well underwater. Plus it's far enough from the mansion it'll be quieter anyway. I'll probably still hear some fuckin' noise, but it won't be as bad as being in the mansion for it all.

[He heads inside.]
You looking forward to it? The party?

I've never really been to a party before. It's... a lot.
