[ Usually he'd be a little quicker to at least do something here, whether it's reassuring Riz or making fun of him in that friendly 'yeah it's totally fine with me' sort of way.
Right now-- not so much, unfortunately for Riz. Given Fabian's circumstances over the past few months, he sure has a whole lot to process as he's standing there and trying to take in the idea of it all. Just the thought by itself of not having to spend so much time on his own is a wild one, and he didn't quite expect it to be dropped into his lap like that. Forget the entire reason they're here in this place - it's not nearly as surprising as Riz's offer.
After a few slightly too long silent moments, Fabian quickly speaks up with: ]
W-- Well, yeah! Of course it'd be fun, The Ball, I'm involved in it!
[ Ah, yes. Fabian's brain's infamous plan in any situations where he doesn't know what to say or do: just default to praising himself to high heaven. ]
So I mean, I-- I guess that would be alright with me. [ .. He realises that actually sounds way more disinterested than intended, so he shakes his head and adds: ] No, it'd be-- fun! It'd be fun, and being by myself was just starting to get a little boring..
[ Understatement of the year. But Fabian would rather die than directly admit to anything about that entire situation. ]
Besides, someone's got to make sure you sleep at some point. You can't literally stay awake forever.
[ No, he is absolutely not rapidly trying to think up ten thousand excuses as to why they should do this, like he's trying to cover up how eager he feels about it, or how his heart is doing little leaps inside of his chest! Not at all!! ]
