Someone walks past with cake and Shrieky has to take a moment to neglect Wolfgang to ask what it is and can they have some? It takes a few minutes for him to wrangle the conversation towards a waitress, and pretty soon she's taken down an order for an unspecified quantity of cake, and waiting for a drinks order from Wolfgang.

Once she's moved on, he settles back into the booth, attention re-affixed to his friend. "People can be jerks." He agrees, then pauses, because really, that's not all there is to it anymore, "But, I find that is not unanimously the case anymore. People can also be very kind."

Who'd have thought?
