[ He doesn't like coming to these things. If he had it his way, he'd stay at his apartment between his quarries and he'd... maybe drink himself to death or something, but whatever the case, he'd stay anti-social forever. Unfortunately that doesn't quite suite the whole marketing strategy; at the end of the day it's less about him winning quarries and it's more about selling him out. He's been told it's about his brand. People pay to have him around.
So here he is, dressed in a way Homelander should approve of, wearing eyeliner he doesn't want to wear, standing visibly in a room around other humans. All of that's good so far.
What's probably not really cutting it is the fact that he's standing off in the corner, looking a bit dour, engaging with nobody and putting down a drink while he does his best to blend into the wallpaper. Not really great for the brand. ]
