Though Oliver's met Allison and he knows Porthos will be there, it still takes Felicity talking him into it to attend the building party. He has no reasons to pretend to enjoy parties or be seen at them in Darrow, but he supposes Felicity has a point in needing to be at least somewhat social from time to time.

While her own outfit is eye catching, Oliver settles for dark pants and a deep green sweater, his only concession to the holiday.

The apartment is pretty crowded, but Oliver manages to find the drinks and grabs something for the both of them as she finds space for her food. When he catches up with Felicity again, Oliver holds out a cup of eggnog. "There are way too many people here."
