Michael had settled next to Reake as he was fussing over Ryan. The angel's all quietly greeted Iris and it would seem they had been warned not to touch her at all as none of them tried to even shakes her hand, let alone give the hugs they are well known for. Abbaddon managed to find a suitable vase and was just setting up the flowers Michael brought for everyone to see when Ashton spoke up. Damnit all to hell did the man have to choose to embarrass him here of all places? His cheeks turn a bit pink but for the most part he just ignores the comment. It seemed the best course of action.<br/><br/>"Get some coffee and sober up a bit Ashton." He scolds lightly. "I am going to make final preparations on dinner, should only be a few minutes." He says as he excuses himself. Mostly he needed to put the food on the table and make sure he'd set it right. This was his first time hosting a dinner party after all. It felt almost surreal to him.<br/><br/>Michael looks over to Ryan, trying to make small talk. "So Ryan, I can feel you take after the other side of the family. You have some steong healing abilities right? You should come visit Reake's set up in heaven, I bet you could learn something."<br/><br/>Reake giggles at the idea. "Oh that sounds marvelous! You really should come by!" He says.
