Forrest arrives after Steve, but before most of the others, and that all works out fine as far as Cricket is concerned. He's touched to have so much company.
Cricket scrambles a little to meet Forrest, because he's carrying so much and because what he's carrying smells borderline divine. He asked for fried chicken because no one in the Nexus makes it the way Forrest does. Forrest then offered homemade rolls, and he couldn't say not to that. He feels a little bad that he'd already ordered the cake because Forrest acted like he should have had him make it, too. But then, Forrest always wants to do more than he should have to, and sometimes more than he can, and Cricket knows that damn well.
He offers to take the pan right away. His braces are on, no cane needed, so he seems safe to manage that. "Aw, hell, Forrest, this smells amazing. I'mma put it on the table closest to the house so the chickens don't think I'm threatening them."
On the opposite end, as well, from where the fruit and veggies are set out. He knows Harley doesn't want to have to smell the chicken, even if he thinks it's great.
