Harry gave him a grin. "No, thank you. I do apricate the concern. Not a lot of people would bother to check. Everyone is busy inside" Harry gave a quick glance over to the on going party inside. He had been in crowds like these since he could remember. But sometimes he too had to step away to collect himself. "That is fair. We all have our limits. Well I don't mind if you stick around out here. I don't have any plans on going back just yet. Besides the overwhelming crowds, you enjoying tonight? I've always loved Versailles."
“ Just checking up, being a Good Samaritan and all that, ” Micah bantered back, not meaning to cause any offense to the older man. It was his protective nature, coming out regardless of who he was speaking to. “ Me? I don’t do well with crowds. Never really have. After a while I felt like the room was crushing me so I came out to get fresh air and look at the gardens. Not a wild answer or anything. ”

"We’re really going to do this aren’t we?" The night hadn't lived up to his expectations yet. He was up for anything tonight.

Harry waved over the man as soon as Rhys walked into the pub. The private section he was given had the perfect spot to watch the game. Harry frequent this particular pub often as it reminded him the most of ones back in England. "Over here." It had been a good while since he sat down with a pal to watch a football soccer game. He still refused to call it soccer even in America. Quickly ordering a round of beers, Harry greeted Rhys. "Glad you showed."
Harry attended charity events at least once a month. That was happened when your name was Griffin. Him and his father were frequent to attend any sort of charity. After attending so many Harry learned a few tricks to liven them up. The table he was seated at tonight was filled with new faces to him. His attention was at the speaker until a whisper came from his side. He chuckled at her comment. "You're new to these?" Harry looked back up to the speaker. She wasn't wrong. He had already tuned them out. He was already giving a good amount of money to the cause, at least he do was get a drink with a pretty woman. "You know, what the hell. I'll take you on the offer. Let me walk you to the bar."

normally, normally she enjoyed attending the charity gala's set up by her manager. it's good for your brand, they said. the dressing up and flirting were usually the best part.
the worst ? the speeches. undoubtedly. they bore her to death, as lili did her best not to be caught yawning in the audience, hiding behind a nonchalant expression and the charms of her dramatic, flamboyant dress.
" i need a drink, " she confesses to the person seated next to her, whispering through gritted teeth. " these events get worse by the minute. i will start swinging by the chandelier à la sia if this speech doesn't end within the next three seconds. you with me ? "
As soon as Harry approached the bar, he waved over the bartender for a shot. The flutes of champagne were not going to work anymore for him. "Thank you" He chuckled at the man's joke. Taking his first sip, he looked back at the party. Harry was used to these amount of people but from time to time he needed some room to breath. "Not insufferable, I've been to events bigger. I just needed to step away. I suppose all of this can be a lot." He introduced himself. "I'm Harry." He extended his hand.
◜ ♱ : " not at all, i'd hate to be the one drinking up the bar tab. " humour lingers by the edge, legarthic gaze thrown haphazardly over his shoulder for a brief moment, " the whole thing's a bit insufferable, isn't it ? "
"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.
With the holidays around the corner, everyone was busy. Harry had his hand full but he had a bit of extra time to assist his elderly father. It was a quick errand to hope over to Kavas Enterprises to finalize an agreement for funding Harry Sr's next project. Harry walked into Kavas Enterprises and was directed to Kemal's office. Seeing Kemal clearly busy at his desk, Harry gave a quick knock on the open door to announce his arrival. The eye contact gave him the signal to at least walk in. "I'm here on behave of my father. He had a financial agreement, and he just needed to make some adjustments. The production had some additions made. Just wanted to make sure if it's in budget. He couldn't make due to his health, so I'm here in his place."

he’s been actively ignoring the individual at his door, making it known that he’s more than aware of their presence by looking up from the tablet in his grasp for a solid moment to make eye contact before moving back to business. not only was he in the dog house and forced to run to the bathroom for testing every so many hours ( as if he could actively snort anything with a babysitter on duty ), but he was drowning in stocks that continue to drop. “ jesus — fucking christ, what do you want ? ” finally, he looks up to properly acknowledge the person that’s taking up space in his office.
In the streets of New York, Harry never knew who he was going to bump into. Most of the time it was fans who recognized him but if he was lucky he would find someone who he knew. He was taking a walk to get his cup of needed coffee. He stopped waiting for a light to change when a gentle bump on his back had him turn around. The biggest smile spread on his face when he saw Elena. Before saying anything, he glanced at the cover in question. "No question she paid the magazine off." He has always had her back. "Clearly you are on a different level they don't understand. But why do you care about one magazine, El? Thought you were above tabloids."

boredom is something that comes naturally for the castillo actress, constantly needing some sense of chaos in her world to occupy the restlessness that takes place within their mind. red bottoms click against the pavement, glasses shading the sunlight from their eyes and slightly shielding themselves from the onlookers that continue to do the double takes, only boosting the ever - growing ego and causing a smirk to sit permanently on her lips. stopping momentarily, they begin the back step, looking towards the magazines on display and moving closer to the backside of an individual, peeking over their shoulders before a gasp is audibly exiting their lips. “ that’s fuckin’ hurtful and bullshit — i absolutely wore that better, look at my cleavage compared to hers, who the fuck writes that magazine ? my grandmother ? ”
Harry lifted his gaze from his phone. "No. Continue if you like. I was listening. We need to change a location, okay. We can work on that."

When Harry was asked to come by Key's house for some scary games, he didn't think it would have been this decked out. He enjoyed a video game from time to time so he wasn't going to pass up a session with the newest music role in his latest production. Harry made himself comfortable on the couch as Key explained his set up. "You didn't have to go to this length for a game." He reached for a piece of pizza. "I've been on many set of horror films, I don't scare easy." He rolled his eyes at the laugh. "So what are playing?" He looked over at the other man.
For ;; Open Location ;; Keys place
"I know these horror games aren't for everyone, so to maximize your comfort I brought out the expensive blankets. They're cashmere. Even cranked up the AC and put the fire on to make the atmosphere extra spooky and cozy. If you're gonna hide behind the blanket, you might as well be doing it in style." Plopping down on the couch next to his guest, after having set everything up to make sure they're both as comfortable as possible, he finally settles in. "The pizza is sitting on a warmer so you don't have to worry about it getting cold whenever you wanna dig in. Same with the popcorn. It's kettle but I've got salty and caramel because I forgot to ask which one you like. There's drinks. Both kinds. Help yourself to whatever suits and let me know if you need anything besides a diaper." Imitating the most cartoonish movie villian laugh he can manage, "mwahaha" is how he continues to tease as he presses play on the controller. The colors of the room shift with the gigantic screen attached to the wall in front of them when the game starts.
