"Can I convince you to join me out on the dance floor?" Arya asked with a smile, holding out a hand to the blonde. "They're actually playing some great music. We should make the most of it."

"You look beautiful, Harp. And very sparkly," he complimented, chuckling a little to himself as he watched light reflect off of the details of Harper's gown. "Is it easy to navigate in that dress?"

"Jace is with a friend and besides, I wanted to come see you," she insisted with a warm smile. "Aryana won't mind me stealing you away for a while, will she?"

"Excuse me," Alessandra stopped the nearest healer that was passing her by. "Could you direct me towards the poisoning ward? I've been asked to bring these to a healer there for some of the current patients," she explained, holding up the briefcase that inside contained vials of antidotes that could help improve conditions of the people in that ward.

"Damn, why did no one tell me all the hotties were hanging over here at the Monarch? I should...get a room here some time," Ella said, their eyes lingering a bit on the guests before finally turning to Harper. "And then they have you at the desk? I mean come on, I'm pretty sure I had a few dreams like this once," they admitted with a smirk before walking closer to Harper, "I know, I sound no different than a frat dude, it's my fatal flaw, I'm not actively working on it. You had lunch yet? I'm trying this whole, actually trying to nurture new friendships thing and the couple of times we've hung out your vibes have been...pretty great. You have great vibes, do you know that? Anyway, lunch, yes? My treat and lucky for you I found my car keys so I won't have to have you piggy back as I ride my skateboard. As fun as that would be." @harper-jones

“Okay but those new jelly like scrunchies you guys have on sale right now are kind of majorly cute.” Alma sat on the edge of one of the sinks as she spoke to Harper, grateful for a brief break in between shifts and a chance to catch up with her friend. “Do you remember the shitty tipper I mentioned to you last week? He came back today, with his girlfriend and turns our she’s a great tipper. I had half the mind to tell her that her boyfriend is a dick. Would that be wrong?” They shrugged as they thought about it. “Anyway, how’s your day going so far?” @clerksworks

"So...that coaching gig you got? What kind of like hiring process did you have to go through for that?” Hector was trying not to come off too eager in his questioning but ever since his conversation with Noah he had been thinking a lot about his future. He was always a bit reserved when hanging out with Harper these days if only because he felt a little vulnerable in knowing that he was different from the last time they had seen each other. The Hector she knew back in Texas had been on top of the world and well now...it was no secret he thought of himself as pretty pathetic. Even with all of his usual charm and delusional confidence. “I’ve just been thinking about some stuff, thinking about some more constructive ways to spend time. I mean I don’t know if anyone is looking for a baseball coach but you know, I like to think I’m pretty qualified. Can’t move like I used to but I can still move pretty well,” he added, rubbing his knee for a moment before he focused back on his coffee and took some long sips. "Anyway, how's your weekend going?"

"I meant Broomstix, I'm sure I'd have a harder time visiting certain parts of the Ministry," she clarified with a soft laugh. "But yeah I guess it's just something I'll have to think on. It's not like I'm on a specific time crunch or anything."

"I mean you could always go back and visit, it's not like some parts of the ministry that you need to get specific access to," she stated. "I think you should do what you think is best for you."

“I only need you to promise me one thing–,” Arya began as she placed her hands upon her girlfriend’s shoulders, bringing her face a little closer to Harper’s, “–that you have the best time today,” she insisted before pressing a quick kiss to her lips and reaching to take her hands. “Come on, Harper Lee– let’s get our faces painted and grab something to eat. I’ve seen a stall selling fruit smoothies that I’m dying to try.”

"This coffee machine was the best purchase we'd ever made," Gabe remarked as his words got muffled into his mug, sipping from it as though he was absolutely parched. "If anything ever happens to it I might lose my mind," he then added with a chuckle. "Want me to pour you some, Harp?"

"Grandpa? Oof, yeah I think that alone could put me into a midlife crisis but I like to think I have a few more years before I'm mid life. Just a few though." He smiled at the kiss on his cheek and reached out to give one of her hands a squeeze, just happy they were out and enjoying themselves. That was his main goal for tonight, to have a good time and try to make sure she did the same. She loved Halloween more than most people he knew and he had been waiting all year to show how much he had learned from the horror movie bootcamp he had put himself through so he was better versed. It was definitely a lot easier than trying to impress her by learning coyote routines. Rose was still giving him shit about that. "I don't know, acting and looking pretty could take you a long way, babe. You're a star, that's worth a lot. Also it hasn't been totally proven you can't survive on just microwaved shit but just in case I'll my best to survive the horror movie. I'll tell the killer my girlfriend needs me to make dinner and pay the bills and they'll understand," he teased and leaned down to press a kiss to her forehead. "Ooo final act? Hell yeah, I'll take it. I'd be happy to sacrifice myself for the final girl, shirt off and everything. They'll say I was too pretty to be severed. Oh I had the best teacher actually. I think if she gave classes she'd go straight to master class. You having fun? Fun is are main goal for the night. You know before I have to go back to my old man life."

"You think i'm gonna stop you from cutting loose a little, grandpa? I'm more surprised you haven't hit your midlife crisis sooner." Harper teased, leaning in to kiss him on the cheek. She was grateful to him for being so understanding with her and offering her support when she needed it but also allowing her space to figure out her feelings without speaking in her ear, trying to reason with her, like others. The difference between Harper and her siblings was that their dad had been locked up when she was old enough to comprehend what that meant for her family, and to witness such a drastic change in how they lived, so now that he was out and trying to fix their relationship she was being stubborn about accepting another change. And in a way she knew for a bit there it was effecting how she viewed her relationship with Felipe, all her fears and the ways things could go wrong taking precedence over everything else. But she was trying to get through that herself, so she didn't burden him or make him believe she was already on her way out of the relationship. "As long as I don't have to take up any of your responsibilities. I only know how to act and look pretty. I don't know the first thing about bills or how to cook anything that's not microwavable." She nodded and pursed her lips as if she was really pondering her answer when the truth was probably better than he expected. "Fine. Tough love then. Not bad. Not final girl material cause that's my territory. But you can probably make it to the final act as long as you keep the shirt off. You must have a pretty good teacher."
