❝ pardon me ! ‘scuse me ! sorry ! ‘scuse ! ❞ a crowd . a thick crowd with loud chatter & laughter clashing against music . khalid couldn’t remember the last time he’d been in a good crowd . he couldn’t remember the last time he’d been to a party ! well --- yes he could actually . his tenth birthday party . there wasn’t a crowd like this there , that’s for certain , but it was a party & it was the only one he’d been to in the twenty four years between then & now . there was something certainly electrically exciting about being at one now . he came here just to check on jay but now , well , you’d have to kick him out to get him to leave .
snaking through the dance floor to try & find a good spot had gone mostly well enough . all up until he trips over a foot & crashes into a nearby person until he’s half leaning on them for support . ❝ woah ! sorry about that ! ❞ as he’s looking down to straighten his stumbled feet to take his weight off her , though , there’s something that catches his eye on the edge of his vision . something hanging from her neck . he smiles as he rights himself now . ❝ i like your little genie lamp ! i really think that kinda decor should come in fashion . loads of lamps , everywhere ! ❞
