Ethan turned towards Minerva as they waited for the door to be answered, listening as she spoke. He would figure the same, that there wouldn't be any other kids there, but then he didn't know who all were invited. They had kids kind of early, but some of their friends were also starting to have kids as well, so he figured it was a fair chance either way. "Of course they will.." He grinned down at Gunnar who was trying to pull away but he kept his hand grasped around his son's. They had good kids, even if they were typical toddlers.

He turned just as Minerva did and smiled as their hosts opened the door. "Hi Jory.. Ronnie.. We're all doing well, thanks for asking." And good to know they were doing the same. He glanced down at Gunnar as he felt him go behind his leg. "He's a little shy," he said, picking him up as he followed them inside. But he'd warm up to them soon enough as he usually did. Ethan glanced at the other guests, giving them a polite smile or nod as he didn't know any of them. Though there was Belle. "Hey, Belle!" he grinned. It had been a little while since he had seen her.

"Mommy, toys." Gunnar looked up at her as she said she had them, then pulled at Daddy's arm again as he looked for her purse. Is that where the toys were? And then his blue eyes snapped up to the door as it opened and he quickly hid behind Daddy's leg, toys forgotten. He didn't know these people. He wanted Daddy and he happily went into his arms as Daddy picked Gunnar up. Clinging tightly to his shirt, Gunnar snuggled into Daddy's chest as they walked inside and he talked to the strange people, the 2 1/2 year old watching everything from the safety of his father's arms.
