Much like Bunny, Seren doesn't exactly have an invitation either. Where would one even be sent? He has no fixed address. One couldn't be handed to her personally either, as he spends the lion's share of his time up in the sky, up where few other things can survive. Seren would argue, though, that he's not technically attending the party. He's currently laying on the roof of this very fine house, where he's hard to spot from below. Deep, dark blue scales are difficult to see in the night unless one knows exactly what they're looking for, especially when trying to look past the lighting below. So he figures he's fine up here, so long as he doesn't cause much of a disturbance and get himself found out.

If Seren doesn't have an invitation to the party, why is he even here? He noticed a bright spot in the darkness that doesn't seem to be a part of the nearby city and he got curious. The fact that he saw it at all with the impossibly bright city was seemingly so close (now that he's here, however, it doesn't appear to be quite as close as he originally thought) made him wonder about it. It looked like a star that had fallen to the ground and even though Seren knew that wasn't actually the case, he wanted to see it for himself.

Quite frankly, he's a little grateful that he did once he spots the familiar little bunny moving about down in the garden below. The one who becomes the familiar young man. Given his lack of invite, Seren didn't intend to actually attend the party. His plan was to simply hang out on the roof for a little while before returning to the sky, but now... Well, there's enough people here that one dragon without an invite will likely go unnoticed, right? Pulling it off without announcing himself requires returning to human form up on the roof and making his way down to a balcony with an open door. A surprisingly easy feat! Turns out he pretty much had his choice of balconies, given all of the doors -- minus the ones leading to occupied rooms -- are wide open.

Doesn't the host know that's how wildlife gets inside? At least in this particular case, the wildlife is trying to minimize his time inside. He is an outdoor dragon, thank you. Plus, inside under the lights, it's clear that he's not wearing black, but rather the same deep, dark blue of his scales. Again, hopefully there are attendees enough for him to remain mostly unnoticed.

Thankfully, once Seren gets down to the main floor, it doesn't take him terribly long to spot Bunny coming in from the garden. Bunny being the only recognizable face here certainly helps matters. It makes it easy to let all of the other faces fade to the background. Please understand how difficult it is for him to not wave and call out Bunny's name to get his attention. Please appreciate his restraint. Instead he makes his way around other guests, trying to keep from drawing too much attention to himself before appearing in front of his newest friend.

"I didn't know that I'd see you here!"
