[ Orihime isn’t really a party girl. She loves spending time with her friends and likes meeting new people, but that doesn’t mean she’s the sort of person who can show up at a party and thrive. It just isn’t her thing! And that’s fine most of the time, except on the rare occasion when she finds herself in a room full of strangers who all seem to know each other.
Like now.
She shuffles awkwardly, standing in the corner of someone’s — she can’t remember the host’s name right now — living room. It would be rude to leave, she reminds herself, sipping carefully from a red plastic cup of what she’d been assured was just apple juice. Especially since the host had been kind enough to invite her!
By now, she’s resigned to an evening of smiling awkwardly at people and making bad small talk, so the relief of seeing someone she knows (if only vaguely) is like a physical weight off her shoulders. She straightens her back and pushes her way across the room to say hi. ]
[ Crow sees Orihime kind of keeping to herself. He only vaguely knows her and since it's his teammate's party he does feel like he should make sure she's having a good time and not feeling too left out. He's pretty friendly and sociable so he tends to do fine at parties even if he prefers small group socials.
He's actually about to go to her when she makes her way to him. He smiles at her brightly. ]
Yeah, of course. Someone has to keep Jack from spending on the team's money. Are you having a good time?

no worries!
[ There isn't much juice left in her cup, so she drains the last sip and puts it on a nearby table. ]

[ He glances around, looking for the tall blond but he doesn't actually have eyes on him currently, which could be a problem later. ]
Do you want another drink? I can get you something.
