Ed had agreed to help out, which meant not only setting up but the follow through of cleaning up as well. He was hardly one to do things halfway. Although he left the food packing to Shiro, Ed could be found doing just about anything else that revolved around cleaning up, including transmuting more than one mess rather than attempting any of the more more traditional methods.

In way of making conversation, when he noticed Marinette had stayed behind to help as well he offered an easy smile. Ed was not much of a birthday party type, so he likely hadn't been too social during the affair itself, but now as things settled down he seemed much more relaxed with a new purpose. "Enjoy the party?"
