It's a good spot.

Two diagonal picnic tables are parked a within roasting fork distance of the fire pit. It starts as a small, flickering fire, but once everyone's gathered, Elliott takes the opportunity to kick the night off and turn up the heat with the aid of a few magical fireballs.

There's hotdogs and an overlaying grill to cook up Yotsuyu's mix of meat and veggie kebabs. A cooler filled with soda and water bottles sits further away to avoid premature melting. Cookies and marshmallows or s'mores feature as dessert- or dinner, if that's anyone's preference.

For entertainment, Roselia makes a live, musical debut with Lisa as its sole performer. Meanwhile, Elliott does his best to encourage socialization and facilitate any necessary introductions. There's even a volleyball net and ball, and at least one attempt is made to form teams and get a game going.

But for the quieter sorts, dark, ocean waves lap at the shore outside the firelight. The weather is perfectly clear, and the location affords a rare opportunity to enjoy the stars. There might even be a cat playing in the sand somewhere nearby.

Some accouterments (like cutlery or extra chairs) might have been accidentally overlooked.

...He tried okay.

"Exactly. That's exactly right."

Anyway, enough of that. York grabs the volleyball and motions with his head over toward the net. Maybe they don't really need to find partners. Everyone seems busy with their conversations and socializing.

"Here, let's one on one, after all."

For a second the words don't quite sink in, but when they do Clarence blinks, then reaches out to grab Elliott's wrist in a moment of what feels akin to panic.

"W-wait! I'm... your best friend?"

York chuckles. "We'll find out!"

He positions himself on the other side, then serves. The serve is a bit high, since he's out of practice, and sails right over Elliott's head and bounces away, out of bounds.

"Oh." Well. Yeah. Okay, that sounded like being friend. Good friends even.

So... Best friends? Really?

"I just..." he bites his bottom lip, "never really had a best friend before."

"Um... okay..."

He took Elliott's hand and a blush immediately bloomed all across his face while his body warred against itself. He covered his mouth with his other hand, trying to cool his face.

"You're getting the raw end of the deal here, but I ain't complaining."

"Well, you haven't really given me any reason to refuse. It's always been fun. It's nice." Yeah, even playing a sport sounded like a good thing if Elliott was the one who suggested it.

He squeezed Elliott's hand.

"Let me just make sure Cheddar isn't going to run off and we can do this thing." He could probably ask Yotsuyu to watch his cat for the duration of the game.

Well, that had been nice. Clarence wasn't sure if that meant he had permission to just hold hands with Elliott any old time, but at least in this instance it had been mutual comfort. Or at least he hoped so.

"'kay. I hope you're ready to lose!" He flashed a smile at Elliott as he started to turn away.
