Book Club Party (open)

The two... were bickering. At the library. Hari looked over and, yep, there she was, the librarian shushing at their direction. Hari had his gloves on, so he gently placed a hand on the tiny girl's head. He was going to say her name, but he realized he didn't actually know. He asked her what her fandoms were before asking her name? Good god, he should step away from the computer once in a while. "No one's taking anyone on any day, my dear. Let's all be civil to each other. It's a party, isn't it?"

A... currently three person party. But whatever.

He smiled at the newcomer. "And yes, I made the cookies myself, and the drinks, and the cheesy decorations. Some ventures succeeded more than others." He shrugged. "You're here for the Watercoloring Workshop, right? Do you happen to like art?"

Hari's eye practically twinkled. The boy was so enthusiastic about his baking. He was immensely flattered, and he immediately wanted to take him under his wing. "Of course! Can I have your number?"

...Hari realized he just asked for a small boy's number. He blushed. "Er. So I could send links to good recipes and schematics and art tutorials, I mean. Don't worry, I'm not a predator or anything, but I am enthusiastic about sharing my resources to aspiring bakers and artists!"

Hari noticed the look of a killer in Euna's eyes, so he reached down to touch her shoulder reassuringly. "I'm sure he didn't mean it, honey. He was probably just startled you commented on his... er, young looks."

Hari covered his mouth with his hand to laugh. Everything happening here was dissolving into hilarity, and as polite as he was, he couldn't help it. They were two screaming children fighting while eating cookies. It was out of a sitcom.

"Sweetheart, are you all right?" He didn't move, but he did twist a bit to take a look at her. "Do you want to talk about it?"

He extracted his phone from his elaborate skirt and handed it to Hal so he can type in his number. "Thank you for thinking I'm not a creepy predator, then," he said, chuckling softly. He gave Hal a sweet smile. "I look forward to communicating with you."

"Really? Why would anyone want to harass you? That seems awfully rude of them." Hari took his phone back and typed "Hal" as the contact. Hal was blushing. It was really cute.

The little baby fight looked like was going to be done soon, so Hari turned to his side so Euna and Hal would be facing each other.

"Euna said she was sorry. Didn't you, Euna?" He smiled at her, then turned his attention back to Hal. "Would you like to apologize to Euna, too, Hal?"
