Robb is passed around, until every boy has a chance to see him. He's given back to Adam, who places him on his lap. (He's sitting on the ground by now, sitting Indian-style.)
"So, Adam," one of the boys says to him. "Are you going to keep your pet?"
"He's not a pet," Adam said, defending Robb. "He's just like us; he's human. He's just a more...compact version." He reaches for a handful of fruit from a crate nearby and puts the entire handful in his mouth. "He's probably just a little scared."
"Scared of what?" another boy asked.
"Well,wouldn't you be scared of someone who is three times your size and outweighs you by about 5 or 6 tons?" He scratched Robb's head. He hands a few pieces of fruit to Robb, who greedily consumes them. "Besides, he lives on a tiny fraction of what we eat every day; if he is a pet, he's very cheap."
"Want some protein bars?" a boy offers Robb. The tiny man grabs a few and begins eating them. "That's so cool. He's so...small." The boy brings his head in closer to watch him eat.
The party continued shortly thereafter, with everyone eventually coming over to Robb to talk to him for a few minutes. As the party passed the one hour mark, Adam glanced down to see Robb asleep on his lap.
"He's definitely not a night person," Adam said to one of his friends, standing up. "I'm going to put him away for the night. I'll be right back."
Adam goes back to his house and places Robb back on the recliner in his room. He then goes back outside to rejoin the party.
A few hours later, around one in the morning, Adam decided to call it a night. He goes back into his bedroom and lies down on the bed.
