I think you know what (II)

Drink heavily and flirt with the ladies, as a strategy, only really works when there are ladies around that you're willing to flirt with. Those are thin on the ground at this one. Besides, Maria's been raising a fuss. Howard knows he's not the best husband, but he can at least try to keep it discreet if that's what makes her happy. Right? Right.

In conclusion, Howard is grumpy tonight. Grumpy and drunk.

"Just fine, just fine. It's going good at the company."

Since Grahame ordered a drink, Howard does too, reflexively. It's his... fifth? Maybe? He can count perfectly well; it's noticing the transition between one glass and the next that trips him up.

"Glad to hear it."

Grahame accepts his drink, sips, nods in approval.
tookhimtoschool: Kind of silly face. (ⓙ drink heavily)

"Now, I know that Stark Industries is integral to the future of America. What's your excuse?"

Grahame looks innocent.

"What, I can't care about a friend's livelihood?"
tookhimtoschool: Lips pursed behind a cup of tea. (ⓙ so innocent)

"Well, don't let me stop you."

Grahame smiles. For a second, there's just a little bit of an edge to it. (The kind of edge that's for Howard's eyes only.)

"Oh, I won't."

Grahame has no idea why, he's sure.

He hides his smirk behind a sip from his glass.
tookhimtoschool: At a distance, in a suit. (ⓧ long shot)

That smirk is just edible.

On impulse, he winks.

Grahame's eyebrows go up.



Really, Howard? Really?
tookhimtoschool: Grinning, extremely cheerful. (ⓘ puppy glee!)

He snickers into his whiskey.

Howard has clearly entered the 'everything is funny' stage of the evening's drinking, and will be no more use to anyone until tomorrow.

(Except perhaps anyone who knows his hotel room number.

He might be useful to those.)

(Shame there's no one around with that information, then.

Well. Almost no one.)
