Even though he hasn't been here very long, Anakin was curious to see what the event was all about. Talking his older brother into coming wasn't much of a problem either because as much as the kid wanted to come - he wouldn't have gone alone. As adventurous as he might be sometimes, attending a party without one familiar face is just too much for the eleven year old.
He doesn't need Jacen to remind him to say away from the alcoholic beverages being offered but Anakin is collecting a little bit of everything offered at the food table. It seems a waste to not try it all when presented the opportunity. And well, if he can talk his brother into trying a few things then that's even better.
Thanks to the various lessons he's been given in etiquette, Anakin doesn't pile everything onto his plate at once. Which means he can be found coming and going on multiple occasions. If it looks as if someone is having a hard time deciding, he's more than happy to point out a few of his favorites.
"This one is really good if you like something with a fruity sweet taste."
b. ain't no party like a dance party
Truthfully, Anakin is here more for the music than the actual dancing. He's curious to know what might all be played and if anything might be familiar. The dance floor is also perfect for people watching despite many faces that are hidden behind masks much like his own. Unsure of just how many others his age might around it makes him aware that people might be drawn to him simply because of that, Anakin had gone for a vibrant colored outfit which would make him stand out a bit but was also quite comfortable. If he's going to stick out no matter what then he might as well do it and be comfortable about it.
One good thing about hanging around the dance floor is that it does make it a little harder to talk above it so he would have a good reason for not saying a whole lot. He may have been the one to get Jacen to come along with him but Anakin was still a quiet kid who tended to let others do the talking first.

It doesn't matter if a kid's interest typically lies in solving puzzles or playing with technology, there's no way could he possibly pass up the catbat area. He already knows that his brother has been quite fascinated with all of the creatures this world has to offer and Anakin has the feeling that the Solo siblings will be going home with at least one new pet tonight. Even he has to admit that they're downright adorable and seem to be relatively harmless.
Knowing one of these creatures will end up part of the family is how he finds himself sitting on the ground while the catbats take to climbing on him as if he were an obstacle course. Anakin just laughs as one manages to scale his arm and make it to his shoulder. The kitten mewls at the conquest and he reaches up to scratch its head.
"Yeah, you faced down the smallest Solo mountain and succeeded in getting close to the top. You're very brave for making it this far." His tone is light and airy, a reminder that no matter how he often acts older that he is just a kid.
