Rubbing his glove clad hand together, Harry tried to keep himself warm. As the year was coming to an end, the weather was getting colder. And a winter in New York could be harsh. Harry pulled his coat tighter around him making his way into Central Park. The park during this time of year was the best to visit. He heard the footsteps approaching next to him. "Not yet. Close." Harry laughed it off. New York weather was nothing compared to England winters. "But if we do want to continue the day out here, I need some coffee."
air grew colder , scarves came out , steam rising from the grates billowed stronger and finn adored all of it . the contrast between the big grey city and the seas of reds , yellows and oranges from home as the seasons changed . the way lovers tucked their hands into the other's pocket as they walked . they adored seeing the normal things , the small gestures between millions of people sharing a city that made everyone anonymous , even them , to some extent . beanie tugged over reddened ears to shield them from the cold , sheepskin jacket pulled tight around him , he hoisted himself up the last few steps from the subway and down the street to central park . " sorry i'm late , " he said as he walked up along side them . " i hope you're not too frozen . "
Harry always stayed humbled. "My movies? Those pieces of junk." He joked around. "Sorry you have to watch all those." He wanted to keep the light heart attitude with them. He sat back down at the table, excited to discuss this movie. "Not a lot as you would think. Some actors don't put as much effort. But I take pride in each role. Which- the one I have in your book, I really am enjoying reading so far." Harry gave a point over to the book. "I really did enjoying the world you created. Amazing work." He praised them. "Oh, well then I have to make sure I make a good impression. Have you have done anything to this scale of production before? It can get intimidating."
the buzzing excitement in their veins hasn't drained since they first got confirmation that everything was good to go with the adaption. their smile is permanent ( as if they aren't always showing off their teeth in impressive joy ) on their way to meet the actor. they come to the table armed with a tote bag overpacked with their laptop, a hefty copy of character studies, and of course the book that's up for adaption.
" no, oh my god, it's totally entirely my pleasure. i've watched like all of your movies to prepare. " they take the seat across from him, struggling for a moment to hang their tote on the chair, only to give up and set it on the floor. " do all actors in adaptions do this ? it's my first time experiencing this, so i'm completely out of my depth. "

It had been a good while since Harry really got invested in a role. His acting roles had been limited. With his years in the business, he had the privilege to handpick the roles he wanted to play. He wasn't going to sign onto anything. When he heard of the this fantasy best seller being worked on, he jumped onto the project. Like any good actor, he took on some research on the story. But just reading the book wasn't enough for him. He got his people to contact the author in hopes to set up a lunch with him. Harry reserved a table at one of his favorite cafes in the city. He had only been sitting for a moment before he noticed someone walking up to the table. Quickly he swiped the corner of his mouth to greet them. "Thank you so much for taking the time to meet me today. It's such a pleasure to meet you."
"I'm just getting old and getting turned around. Or my amount of drinks I've had tonight." He couldn't decided which one was right. Harry laughed it off. He was just here to have some fun. "I suppose you're right about that. Real glad I ran into you then. You seem to have gotten a hold of the layout." Then an idea popped into his head. "I think it might be a good idea to keep you by my side. For a while, you probably have others you want to be with I'm sure."
polite smile lingers on petals as she accepted the other's words, groomed into docility as child but hunger for more changed her ⸺ chameleon that easily switches natures, it makes violetta so good at her job. " i believe it's more the amount of people and the costumes, it all seems so familiar — no point of recognition to draw back on, " she suggests, furthering the conversation between the pair with light tones.
He laughed at her response. He wouldn't put it pass it them that were was some sort of room like that here. But that's not what he was going to. "No, no. Nothing like that." He took a sip of his glass of wine with his free hand. He took a hold of her hand as soon as she slipped into his. "But I can't say anything about some fun party favors later on. I might know I guy that is here." Harry lead them through the crowds. "What I was going to show was this room that some have moved to I heard it's more lively."
"Are you taking to me some kind of secret sex dungeon Harry, because I can promise you it won't go down well. Not unless you also have some nose dust tucked away too." Esmay replied skeptically, reaching out to grab hold of his hand as he moved towards the next room, conscious she might lose him in the crowed otherwise. "Then again it would still be better than this."

With his third glass of wine in hand, he pondered. "Hmm, I supposed I could help you. What could go wrong tonight?" He took one more sip. "How can I help?"
Harry couldn't help but keep his smile. "Come on. I'm not stupid. Drunk, but not stupid." Harry took a sip at his drink. "I've been watching you for a second. I know something is up." This was a party. He wanted to have a little fun. "I'll pay to know. Name your price. I won't snitch if there is a secret gathering in the gardens or something."
facial features quickly mask innocence as she pulls herself back into the present moment, looking upwards towards the other with wide eyes. “ —— i simply have no idea what you’re talking about. ”
