People who loved him and cared about his happiness. Even if his birthday wasn't quite what he may have wished, he could still spend it with friends. After all friendship and love were the greatest gifts we can give each other, and he had that in spades from those around him. Smiling the little dragon felt his heart lift a little. Turning toward the sun he headed over to the stand and his waiting friends.
Birthday wishes from the band, too.
Keep yer britches on.
