[Paul marks a particular absence at the party only after a through investigation of all the potential nooks, crannies, and warded rooms that he can imagine a certain individual finding his way into unexpectedly - and then he checks them all again, just to be sure. Investigation concluded (with, admittedly, a handful of detours on the way), Paul coaxes his Omen to his palm to dictate a message.]
Lazarus,
I know you don't like parties - or maybe you do like parties, and I never asked, but I am inferring from prior evidence, yes, put inferring from prior evidence, it's funny. He'll think it's funny. I'm not asking for notes. Inferring from prior evidence, you don't like parties.
However, we do have cake, which I made, and I'd like you to try some before Ruby manages to eat what's left. No, that's not right. Lazarus, I'd like you to come because I'd like to see you. Too much?
Lazarus, I'd like you to visit and try the cake, because we're friends, and someone told me you have to forgive me since it's my birthday. I promise it's safe. No, that's worse.
Lazarus, please come to my birthday party for the cake. Just send that.
