It's their department's third stupid little cookout, which, much to Lars's delight and disdain simultaneously, have been increasingly fun. After having taken a break from alcohol for about three months after the celebration dimension debacle, Lars actually has a sangria, having finished his cooking.
There's people from outside their department attending as well—friends of those in labor, so it's still not a huge crowd. Lars is hanging back, holding onto his drink and watching everyone as he leans back on his elbows, legs crossed. He doesn't realize it, but he's smiling a little bit—it feels good to be responsible for something positive, which he often forgets he's actually capable of.
It's kind of embarrassing to be at ease, in a weird way—it's a type of being vulnerable he's never easily resonated with. But with practice, it's been easier to just relax.
