RP: Parker and Harvey
Who: Parker and Harvey Specter
Where: Parker's house
When: 13 September 2011
Summary: Parker investigates the temporary house guest

It was a little unsettling to have moved so much since the last week, though Parker supposed that was partly her own fault. She and Eliot didn't actually have much in the way of possessions so it had been easy to move that weekend into the home they were supposed to share. And then that hadn't worked out so now she was figuring things out with new housemates and Eliot living somewhere else all together.

She still visited him, because she needed to make sure he was all right - even if April was supposed to be taking care of him, and because he was her friend and she had to poke him some because she wasn't sure if anyone else would bother. And he needed that.

For the moment though her attention was on their newest house guest, Harvey. He was just staying with them temporarily or so she'd been told. He was new and different though and that made him, at least for the moment, interesting.

"What do you do to your hair?" She asked him settling herself on the arm of the sofa, having found Harvey in the living room. "It was different at the wedding." She said narrowing her eyes almost tempted to reach out and touch to see if there might be an answer there.

"But easier is easier. I like easy," Harvey said as he shrugged as well. He wasn't the sort of person to go opening up to strangers and he wasn't going to make an exception.

It was strange that she seemed so uncomfortable with him but was so happy with him touching her hair. "Any time, I always did like blonds." He said with a little laugh. Maybe her crazy was growing on him.

Harvey ran both hands through his hair and then over his beard, neither were things he was used to yet. "It's strange to me, too. I'm so used to having it the other way, I'd forgotten what it feels like to just let it be."

She frowned and he realized that she'd probably taken what he'd said the wrong way. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable," Harvey said, holding both his hands up again.

There wasn't anything wrong with liking easy Parker thought. Easy meant you didn't get caught, you were safe, you didn't get hurt - there were times easy was better, just like there were times that it wasn't. She just nodded though, not sure how to go about putting that sort of thing into words, particularly words she'd want to share with Harvey.

Parker tucked her hair behind her ear when Harvey laughed, feeling happy sitting there beside him talking about his hair. "Blonde is good." She nodded firmly.

"Will you keep it like this?" She asked him, it was harder to picture the other way with him looking the way he did now. She thought he looked nicer this way, a little easier to talk to than he might have been otherwise.

She shook her head when he apologized again, she thought Hardison would be proud of her, she hadn't stabbed anyone since she'd gotten here. Even when that was all she'd wanted at times. "I'm okay." She assured him.

Harvey decided it was better to just let the subject go, rather than try to talk without telling each other too much about each other. But it stuck with him, the idea that maybe easier wasn't always better and he knew he'd struggle to get those words out of his head.

"I used to be blonde when I was a kid, it's got darker and darker over the years," Harvey said as he shook his hair back from his eyes.

Harvey shrugged a little bit, he really hadn't given much thought to his hair after all. "Maybe," he said. "I'll probably go back to how it was at the wedding when I go home, or if we have to do something where I'm wearing a suit. But I'll probably leave it like this otherwise."

She was very odd and he couldn't help but think she'd been through something that made her act like a child and get upset over the idea of a man finding her beautiful and thus confusing. "Good," he said quickly.

"I've always been blonde." Parker said, considering Harvey's hair, reaching out to run her fingers through the dark strands again before she pulled her hand back.

She decided he wasn't too bad, a little confusing and strange, but not too bad. He could definitely be worse, he didn't bother her the way some people did, and he didn't ask too many questions, which was a point in his favor.

"Good, this is good - like this." Parker approved of his decision to leave his hair the way it was, like he really needed her approval for the way he styled his hair.

Parker considered Harvey again, though she thought they were done for the moment. "You can stay." She decided, nodding firmly. And if she were the type of person to touch, she'd have patted his shoulder too, just to let him know that she liked him. "If you want to talk my room is over there." She pointed.
