[ He shakes his head some, taking a moment to think.]
Totally a woman. Uhh, as for the rest I don't care about hair color, but no one ditzy, I can't stand that. Someone shorter than me, but even that is not a hard line.
[ This is one of those moments where he holds his hands up, without dislodging her arm. Playfully surrendering. It might be a mock offense, but he jumps to defend his words. ]
I so didn't mean you, you're an amazing Hench and super fun, I like your brand of ditzy. But, for some rando hook up? I don't know about that. It's a shame you didn't watch all of Star Wars, I could just say someone like Leia, but no that won't work.
[ He drops his arms, but rubs the back of his head. ] I trust your judgement here, Harley.
[ Gary stops looking at the crowd and looks back to her, confused. ]
Wait, what? When did that happen? You didn't tell me you weren't henching anymore. [ One night stand mattered less now, this was so much more important. ] Did it happen while I was on sabbatical?
[ When 24 died he'd taken nearly 9 months away from the hench life, that was when his look changed from chubby dude to the guy he is now. ]
Oh, dude, Harley. [ Yeah, that's sympathy in his voice, he knows how crazy she was for that dude, that scary scary dude.
He waits until she's turned to the bartender, laying a hand on her shoulder. ]
Are you okay? Like that had to be hard, and I don't care about that. Sure, I could see why others would be but your my friend, bro. You're stuck with me.
[ That strained smile is all he needs to see before he opens his arms. Wrapping them around her when, she throws hers around him and kisses his cheek. ]
It's gonna be okay, Harley. I totally got your back.
[ That gets a chuckle out of him, pulling back and looking back to the floor. ]
This is going to be a train wreck, but I'm here for it. [ He was amused at least. Looking back when he saw the Bartender still waiting from where Harley waved them over, he ordered a cheap beer before looking back to the dance floor. ]
[ He decides to trust the process. Harley hasn't lead him wrong yet. ]
Cool, cool.
[ Though as she makes that loud announcement, she had to know he'd get distracted. This geek LIVES for this kind of argument. It's almost like 24 was still around, in a sad way. ]
Dude! You're so wrong! Either of them could kick that sparklepire's ass into the ground!
[ He'd looking down at her, not at the crowd, he's all about this now.]
[ he called back with a playful finger gun her way. Hopefully she didn't get him something too fruity, he can never taste the liquor in those and will get hella drunk superfast. This is how he ends up making bad choices.
Still, he does go over to the woman, and they stand talking a few minutes. Gary was as awkward as ever, but clearly something said goes south after about 10 minutes as she yells something and storms off, and he quietly makes his way back with his head lowered. ]
I blew it. She thinks Harrison Ford is a misogynistic pig, but also disgusted by Edward. That's why she looked like she had something to say.
Werewolves are so much lamer than any vampire. I mean, look at Christopher Lee or Bela Lugosi.
[ he takes the drink. Looking it over, but not questioning why she drank from it. It's not poisoned or drugged if she drank from it. She's a fantastic friend.]
But, I don't have money, Harley. That's kinda cheating, even for a one night stand?
no subject
[ He'll let Gare-bear slide, that's fine.
Walking along with her towards the bar. Shrugging when she asked. ]
Dude, do I look picky? I'm so not picky. So long as this night ends without an STD or pregnancy, I'm copacetic.
no subject
[ She takes a better look at the bar as they get closer, trying to decide if the vibe is right. ]
Man, woman? Blonde, redhead, brunette? Come on, give me a shopping list!

[ See, she can remember the IMPORTANT stuff!
She leads him into the bar and finds a spot where they can see almost everyone. ]
I'll get the first round. You check out the crowd and let me know if anyone catches your eye.
no subject
[ This is why she's the best.
Taking a seat next to her at the bar, looking over the crowd. ]
Deal, but I get the next round. Gotta keep it fair. [ Looking out at the crowd, looking people over for now. ]
So, while we're looking, how are things going in Gotham?

[ She turns away to wave at a bartender, mostly as an excuse to not look at Gary. The way other people look at her when she says it is the worst. ]
I thought maybe if you knew we wouldn't be friends anymore.

Okay, keep an eye on the crowd. I'm about to test the waters.
[ Harley clears her throat and loudly announces: ]
I dunno, I just don't think Han Solo or Indiana Jones could beat Edward Cullen in a real fight!

Cool, cool.

There, brown hair and blue crop top. She looked like she had some shit to say about that.
no subject
You sure that's not just her face? She still looks annoyed.
[ a second later.]
And you so better not believe what you said. Otherwise I'm making you watch Star Wars with me later.
[ His eyes went back to the brunette, thinking about it. What could it hurt? ]
no subject
[ She plucks the umbrella put of her glass to take a sip of her drink. ]
I meannnn, he is a vampire...
no subject
[ He looked back to her a second.]
Okay, keep an eye on my drink, I'll go talk to her, or try. And when I get back I'll tell you why your wrong.
[ Gary expects to blow this.]
no subject
[ While he's gone, Harley orders him a different drink. Something that would look classier and more impressive than the cheapest beer.
She watches while trying not to look like she's watching. Go get 'em, Gare-bear 👍 ]

Ah. Team Jacob.
[ She hands him the drink, after wiping her lipstick off the rim. Hey, she had to do quality control. That's real friendship. ]
Here, hold this. Makes you look like you have money.
