SIMONE ASHLEY as KATE BRIDGERTON Bridgerton 3.05 | "Tick Tock"
a small grin surfaces as she shakes her head . “ unfortunately not ! just maybe one or two dying to catch a glimpse as they hang out in front of my store . ” nalini will playfully wink . hands move up to place over her chest at val’s admission . for there’s truly nothing more satisfying than to see someone’s reaction to her compliments . “ well you shouldn’t have said that val , now i’ll have to make it my mission to throw out a compliment every time i see you . and that’s a promise ! ” laughter expels past the designer’s lips . what ? she can’t help it . “ oh life … ” she starts , blowing out a breath of air . “ i mean nothing new . all i do is work . attend the obligatory social gatherings . honestly val , my life is boring . it just revolves around fashion week and the met gala . and what about you ? the musician life has got to be FAR more interesting . ”
her lips turn upwards involuntarily , without a second thought . and god , how she loved anybody who wasn't a man ! ' oh , come on , i don't believe that . surely you've got the longest line of suitors waiting for their chance to even catch a glimpse . ' a small suck of her teeth , disbelief , came out . val's head will tilt to the side slightly , eyes lighting up - the quickest way to her heart is through her looks ! ' you know , i would never lie to you , so yes i've been told quite a few similar things , but just between you and i ... i like it much better coming from you . ' reign it back in , girl ! ' now tell me ... how's life been treating you these days ? '
⊹₊⟡⋆ kaylee kaneshiro + they/them ⊹₊⟡⋆ blasting back in black by ac/dc through their airpods is HARLOWE SAITO-BRENNER . oh , you don’t know them ? they’re the twenty7 year old musician who just went viral for getting into a physical altercation with the paparazzi after a camera got a little too close. talk about a catfight! . yup , the one that drives a triumph scrambler 1200 . i hear they’re pretty +resilient , but others have claimed that they’re quite -blunt . that makes sense , considering they’re often labeled as the deadpan snarker .

“ i’ve seriously got start charging you a premium for the amount of times i have to bail you out of jail . ” freya’s eyes flutter open as she turns to look at ace . “ friends and family discount should no longer be applicable . ” had she not been so good at her job , maybe there’d be more bite to her words . but in comparison to the rest of her clients , her cousin’s proclivity for getting into physical altercations with strangers really isn’t all that bad .

“ it’s fine . titus sometimes gets that kind of reaction from dogs , ” she half-jokes , head nodding towards the european doberman that just moved to take a seat beside her . “ but uh , interesting name for a yorkie , ” she’ll comment , light amusement dancing in her eyes as she continues to stare at the smaller dog . attention shifts when they start speaking once more . “ don’t believe we’ve had the pleasure . i’m freya . and welcome to the neighborhood , i suppose ? forgive me but why the interest in living here ? masked murderer running loose doesn’t exactly scream ‘ move in ! ’ . but i guess if you’re trying to take advantage of the lower property value , can’t blame you there . ”
· open starter , assume connections ! · located at the mailbox closest to her residence .
“ oh , stop your yapping , nosferatu . ” they command the yorkie located at her feet , who is barking continuously at the other's sudden appearance . “ — he's not a fan of people . ” just as she ! hand tugs on the leash while the other closes the door to the opening of her mailbox , shuffling the envelopes now in their grasp . “ have we met before ? i'm dolores ; i just moved into the neighborhood about a week ago . ”
despite now running in the same circles , it never ceases to amuse harlowe just how much of a fan ace is of their music . don’t get them wrong ! it’s nice and they’re grateful . but they’re going with the assumption that it’ll take a bit more time for him to adjust so they’re sure the giddiness will pass eventually . “ it’s like the cinderella effect or something . but i gotta say , i’m a little disappointed . thought they’d hold out for another hour , y’know ? feels like 1AM kinda behavior . ” eyes will playfully roll at his comment . “ who me ? and take that honor away from you ? ” they’ll jest . “ i’m just saying that the rando probably will have done something to deserve it . what do you take me for ? just because i’m a rockstar doesn’t mean i’m completely uncivilized . ” and perhaps that’s why they took to him so quickly . nothing forms a bond quicker than knocking a jerk flat out . “ but i am thinking of getting outta here soon . maybe grab a bite at in-n-out or something . could go for a burger honestly . you in ? ”
shifts his weight , hand shooting out instinctively to land firm but gentle on harlowe’s shoulder , steadying them before they get shoved deeper into the crowd . “ nah , i’m good . drink’s safe . ” and shakes his head with a slight grin , playing it cool — even if inside , he’s a little giddy . ( i mean , it’s not every day your favorite musician turns around and checks on you , you know ? ) . “ but you might be right about leaving early . midnight hit , and they all turned into animals , swear to god . i mean , could stick around , but i dunno … wouldn’t wanna risk you takin’ someone down tonight . can’t have you going viral twice for knockin’ out some rando , can we ? ” lips pull into a teasing grin . ( they’re kind of alike in that way — both the type to throw fists at the right kind of jerk who deserves it . and by the looks of tonight’s crowd , it might just come to that if they hang around any longer ) .
