Harry was looking a paler than usual, it seemed he'd caught a bug, made only worse by a busy schedule and not as much sleep as he should have. He muffled a cough into his sleeve, then rubbed his eyes to stay awake, typing away at his laptop while he sat on a bar-stool at the kitchen island in the New Guardians HQ.

"I heard you got nominated for an award," Harry smiled. "Congratulations."

	Lenny groaned in response to Harry's comment. He was currently at the stove. "Some organization whose name I can't remember is offering me some kind of paper for..positive contributions by the disabled or some such crap." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Oh. Sorry. I didn't know," he said very apologetically, looking a bit ashamed. "So umm...when is it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lenny waved it off. "I would have ignored it completely, but Cindy says accepting would give us positive press." He carefully hands Harry a bowl of chicken noodle soup. "Here. You like crackers?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Press isn't that great to have to consider," he frowns slightly and sighs. "Yes, wh-Oh! Thank you but..." He'd thought Lenny was making that for himself for some reason. He hadn't expected... "I mean thank you, I just mean you didn't have to do that for me, it's really okay. But thank you it's really nice and-" Pause for some coughing into his sleeve again, luckily he'd set down the bowl. "Thanks," he says again, with some embarrassed blushing at his rambling bit there.

	"Tell me about it." Lenny waved it off. "It's no problem, Harry. When I was sick my mom would do the same thing." He rolled back to the shelf to grab the crackers before returning. Lenny smirked lightly. "If you're that againmst it, you could always say I'm doing it to be pragmatic. Can't have you sick if something happens right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm not against it," he added a bit frantically. "I just don't want to be a bother or you to go through any trouble," Harry explained a bit shyly. "So umm...when's your award thing? I can give you a ride." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I was just teasing, Harry," Lenny assured. "Around a hour and a half. You don't have to do that, Harry. It's bad enough i have to go, I wouldn't want to drag you into it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No no, if it's bad that's all the more reason I should go, maybe it won't be bad if there's company. And it's no bother to teleport you, we'll get to skip the photographers and a lot of press that way. So...less fuss?" He dipped a cracker into the soup before having a spoon of it later. That did make him feel better. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well if you're sure about that. Won't teleporting there cause a little attention?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	in_reserve 2013-09-24 01:50 am UTC (link)
	Harry shrugged. "Yeah, but they know we've got powers. And teleporting into the venue probably causes less attention than a limo and the whole carpet thing right? I just need to get a suit and my mask." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hope_on_wheels 2013-09-24 01:56 am UTC (link)
	He raised an eyebrow. "Do we actually have a limo?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I...don't know?" He scratched his head in confusion. "I mean...I just thought that's how people arrived to awards things usually. It's Cindy, I'm sure she has someone to call for driving stuff." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's not an awards show or anything. Maybe a couple dozen people, but that's it. As far as I know they're aren't any cameras or anything," Lenny informed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"There's always cameras if there's an award. Otherwise they don't put on an event, most of the point of events is to get people to see and well, if the point of you going is good press, then there's no point in going if there are no cameras...I mean, how will they know you got the award then? The organizers will want it to be seen and known you got it, especially if it's for positive contributions." Planning events and working for Pippi had gotten him more used to the whole thinking process involved in publicity at least. Not much more comfortable with it, but that was another issue.

	Lenny did his best to follow all that. "To be honest I thought it would just be in the paper or something.. TV? ..shit." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Harry wasn't exactly the most eloquent. "I-I don't mean TV necessarily! Just, like even if it's newspaper they'd send a photographer. Everyone wants articles with pictures." He shot Lenny a smile and shrug. "And if you're getting an award, I'd like to see it. We're teammates, right? If you're winning an award it should be better to have someone you know in the audience to celebrate."

	"Right..that's true," Lenny conceded. Harry's latter statement got a smile out of him. "Thanks, harry. I appreciate that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	in_reserve 2013-09-24 02:33 am UTC (link)
	Harry had more of the soup then smiled. "It's no problem. If there's no dinner at the award thing, then want to go for pizza to celebrate after? I-I mean, even if you don't really want the award, it's not a bad thing, and it's an excuse to celebrate something right? That's always good." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hope_on_wheels 2013-09-24 02:37 am UTC (link)
	"Heh, it's okay. You know what? You're right. We'll go, get this thing, and then eat some pizza," Lenny said with a smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	in_reserve 2013-09-24 02:46 am UTC (link)
	Harry nearly beamed, he even looked less pale than before now that he'd had some soup. "Great! We've got a bit more than an hour right? I'll go put on a suit and find my mask or sunglasses and we'll meet back here? It'll be fun," he smiled. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sounds like a plan." (Reply to this)(Parent)
