Late night conversations.

Later on in the night, when most of the guests had safely left, the birthday boy was tucked in bed and robot butlers were cleaning the castle, a few people gathered in the kitchen in Scarlet's wing for conversation, drinks and food. 

The group which gathered included the older Su siblings, Esong's friends and the couple itself which was cuddling together in one chair with a warm blanket around their bodies. 

There was plenty of food, a variety of it, snacks and fruit drinks, alcoholic ones and sodas on the table. Everyone could eat as they pleased. 

Scarlet fed Esong a banana chip and then a spoon of lemon ice cream. 

On the television whose volume was lowered, was a late night talk show which they were watching inattentively as they listened to the guests describe the hardships involved in filming on an unnamed planet outside the Sun star. 

"Hey Esong, don't we know that place?" Ian asked loudly.
