Not a Fan
She barely noticed them originally but now she couldn't help but see them or hear them nearly any time she walked by a window. Argo's fan club. A collection of women with questionable morals and surgically enhanced breasts. Women who threw underwear with their phone numbers in them. Woman Argo had interest in.

Women who were so different from herself. Harmony turned away from her mirror with a sigh, again trying to convince herself that Argo wouldn't notice her period had it not been for some wine so she just needed to get over it. Yet...she couldn't. Spa day and shopping? Thought about Argo. Went to the grocery store? Thought about Argo? It was getting ridiculous and with that in mind, she wandered to the kitchen in search of a snack in the hope she'd get to clear her head. Of course, on the way she passed a window and saw the fan club so when she arrived in the kitchen, Harmony looked like someone'd kicked a puppy.

This...was going to be an issue.

	Corey was in said kitchen, fixing chili. "Hello, Harmony. Supper shouldn't be too long. Got Creme de Papaya chilling for dessert." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Yes. No. I'm...are the fan club always out there?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Corey sighs. "No. If the rain gets too bad, they tend to disperse for a while." The pause in which he gauges what's not his place and what's within his prerogatives is very small before he continues, carefully- but-casually mentioning, "Argo and I were talking about how he's not quite sure how to get rid of them," as he stirs.

	Corey's words surprised her. "Get rid of them? That seems...odd. Is he wanting to a new batch then? I can't imagine Argo without his fan club." She tried to play cool, though the surprise was evident in her voice. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Got the distinct impression he wants to not deal with the screaming interchangeable hordes for a while, and even though it's a change from his usual schtick, I don't blame him a bit." He lets the chili simmer for a bit, and grabs two glasses and pours them both some juice. "Stuff's got to get old, don't you think?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	a_blessing 2010-08-28 05:10 am UTC (link)
	She nods. "He does tend to attract less...vocal throngs of women at the bars. He certainly won't have to worry about any shortages without his club." Taking a glass of juice, Harmony sighed a little bit. "Do you suppose Argo...has a type?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I think he's trying to cut down. He's come out of his own room for breakfast pretty much every day these past couple of weeks. If he hadn't told me he had stuff on his mind and was considering making a few changes, I'd start to worry he was sick or something."

Corey sips his thoughtfully. "I wouldn't say a type, actually. Not like a set of criteria, and definitely not plain physical qualifications like 'tall brunette' or 'Titianesque redhead' or something. Honestly, I think he's just let himself kinda get into a rut because a fun rut was easy for someone like him to fall into, and the kind of attention he gets, and the kind of people most of it's from, came with that, you know?"

	"Oh. A break is understandable. And I suppose he'll be well-rested and ready to party when he's had his time to himself. I hope the local establishments can handle Argo's absence." Harmony forced a little smile. A break. That was the only proper explanation. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Corey looks at her for minute. "...Look, Harmony, he's my god, not my brother, but --" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	a_blessing 2010-08-29 01:13 am UTC (link)
	"But what?" She sighed. "I'm sorry. What Argo does or does not do isn't any of my business. I didn't mean to put you in a spot. I just...think too much lately." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sandcastlegod 2010-08-29 01:41 am UTC (link)
	"No, no, it's okay. It's just... I'm concerned for him, with all the stuff on his mind lately. But that stuff, and why he wants to make changes... I think it's something he needs to talk about for himself, you know? I think he'd really appreciate talking about it with you, actually." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	a_blessing 2010-08-29 01:48 am UTC (link)
	"Me?" Harmony shook her head at Corey. "I doubt that, Corey. I'm just a mortal girl. A Catholic at that. That and...things are just awkward. I did something rather stupid and I don't know that talking to me would help, sadly." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sandcastlegod 2010-08-29 03:30 am UTC (link)
	"Argo's not a snob about talking to mortals, and he doesn't expect people to practice Traditional Religion -- I think my family are the only ones he knows. And sure it's awkward -- I hope you don't have any bruises from the fall the other day -- but it doesn't have to stay that way forever." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	a_blessing 2010-08-29 03:35 am UTC (link)
	"Corey, my awkwardness isn't going to pass anytime soon. I...won't be able to be objective. I've come to care too much." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sandcastlegod 2010-08-29 03:44 am UTC (link)
	"I don't think he needs objective. Please, Harmony, just... if he does want to talk, you'll listen for a while, right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	a_blessing 2010-08-29 03:46 am UTC (link)
	"He won't, Corey. But yes. If he does I will listen." She nodded and she meant what she said, even if she was sure Argo would never, ever come to her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sandcastlegod 2010-08-29 04:01 am UTC (link)
	"Great. Thanks; I feel better knowing that." Corey gets back up, to stir his chili again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	a_blessing 2010-08-29 09:44 pm UTC (link)
	"No problem. Lemme know when dinner's ready." Harmony got up and left the kitchen, still not sure she'd ever get her head put back on correctly. (-end scene-) (Reply to this)(Parent)
