“The winner of the Halloween costume competition will be announced in a couple of hours. The food and drinks are over there,” he pointed it out as if it wasn’t blatantly obvious already, “thank you all for coming, and enjoy the party!” Ashwin finished his quick welcome speech, glad he hadn’t messed anything up; public speaking really wasn’t his thing. As much as he wanted to enjoy the night himself, he couldn’t help feeling a bit apprehensive; he wasn’t sure how his old friends at Harpoole would react to finding out he actually came from a family rich enough to buy the hotel.
Getting off the makeshift platform Ash tried not to roll his eyes as one of his staff gestured to him that his wig was askew. Turning to find a mirror, he tried to think of all the different ways he could get back at his brother for choosing this costume. Though Ash had kind of brought this on himself, so far he’d lost five times in a row when it came to betting against Hari, and Ash didn’t know why he thought this time would be any different. Still, there were worse costumes than Elvis. Sidestepping to avoid a waitress carrying a tray of canapes he lightly bumped into someone else, “I’m sorry,” he apologised, turning to see if the person was okay, “are you alright?”
Grayson loved all the costumes he was seeing at the costume competition, sure there were a lot of duplicates in the kid’s area with all the superheroes and princesses but it was still cool to see how into it all everyone was. He found himself actually enjoying the party atmosphere when he was bumped into by someone. He braced himself and straightened out his costume as he waved off their apology and concern. “Don’t worry about it! It’s all good!”
