Sander was literally covered with good, hence he was a mess. But he remembered that Alex wanted to speak with him. So he went looking for her, all the while dodging flying food dishes. He found her about to launch another fooderpult.

"White Flag," Sander waved a napkin. "I know that the party is wrapping up, so I wanted to come over and say thanks again for being here. This is the best birthday party I've had in a long time,"Sander grinned at Alex.

Then he leaned over and hugged her to express his thanks.
