Tim sat in his chair, looking from people to people, just staring at their faces, and looking at how their facial expressions changed, and listening to what they said.
As Eric came, Rufus went, Kristen was still away in sleepland, though walking on her feet, as it seemed, and Sam greeted Eric, and then some other man, who talked about a separate apartment, he didn't say a word. Partly because he really didn't feel like it, and partly because he didn't get a chance.
As Alex stepped in, and striked a conversation with Kristen, he felt that these two were easy to get the attention of now.
As soon as Sam yelled of wanting to get drunk, and go to the pub, Tim finally decided to ask something.
"Hey! Sam!" he yelled.
"Mh?"
"I, uhh..well, what I wanted to ask," he stuttered a bit, momentarily startled by the fact that everyone's attention was on him.
"I want to know how many bedrooms this apartment has. It seems like I was a bit late to the.."party", like they say. I heard something about Eric having to go to another apartment. I did come before him, but still. Is there enough room for me?"
