It was probably a good thing that he'd had plenty of exposure to different cuisines, Jason figured as he trawled along the food table. No sushi, no cheeseburgers, no hot dogs... Some of these things didn't even look like they were remotely related to things on Earth. But it wasn't bad and he'd found that you could make a few friends just by talking about how amazing the food was.

All in all, he felt fairly relaxed. Sure the mood was a bit tense, mainly coming from the younger crowd, and the arrogance of some of the adults was off-putting, but that could all be handled so long as no one lost their temper. Speaking of which... The sudden sharpness in one of the nearby voices caught his ear and he glanced over before inwardly groaning. And things had been going so well.

He scooped a pair of hors d'oeuvres off of the table and meandered on over to the situation before it got beyond a raised voice. "Hey, man." He smiled soothingly, holding out one of the sticks of food to Duo. Green and purple fruit, sweet and juicy, speared onto a skewer? Awesome. "Have you tried these? You should, they're great." He spared a glance to the older guy's conversation partner and made a subtle shooing gesture, not quite putting himself between them.

Best just to cut off these kinds of things before they became a huge problem, he figured.
