Hm.... It's-- kind of exciting that way, isn't it? If you don't know for sure what you're going to get. [Not that the same uncertainty would be welcome in other aspects of life, but.]

[WELP lucky for him then that she doesn't recognize it as a date, not!date or otherwise. This is just a Friend Thing that Friends apparently do? If they're friends, that is. (She kind of hopes they are, even if she's not sure she should allow herself to hope for something like that.)]

Sometimes. But sometimes the movie you watch is just the saddest load of shit you ever had the displeasure of watching. [And then you wasted like two hours of your life watching it.

It totally isn't a date! Dave just happened to ask his friend that is a girl to watch a movie with him. Totally platonic yo. But they are totally friends.] What...do you usually like doing? [Trying to get to know you more. Shh.]

Hee...! Well, maybe. [Give her a second to consider this.] But that's part of the fun, too, isn't it? [Either that or five minutes, after which you decided to remove and smash the disk.]

[Good! Now, tell her that--] Mm-- I draw. [Which may not be the same thing as liking it?! Her hobbies really include keeping spiky haired kids out of trouble.] And I like to read, too. [... Someone get this girl more tv time, stat--] Why? What do you usually like doing?

I guess so. Sometimes they're so bad, they're good. [Or at least amusing to watch and makes it slightly worth your time.] Sometimes you feel like you just wasted your time and maybe your money. [It's a terrible syndrome to want to watch it in entirety and regret every second of it.]

You draw or you like drawing. Two different things. I mean. I want to know what you like to do and maybe we could do it together. You know. Like friend shit. [How on Earth can you get this awkward, Dave.] I guess I still like making music. I kind of don't do a lot anymore.

I'd like to see that...! [This is an interesting concept to her, okay.] That seems like a shame. Even then, though, it's still a new experience. [If one's into that kind of thing, of course.]

Well-- I guess I do like it, too. I just... don't usually think about it very much. [But oh-- that sure was the word 'friend' she just heard, wasn't it? That makes her blink, looking momentarily startled, but she tries to take it in stride.] -- Because of the Tower?

I'll find one that's like that so you can get the full experience. [It's mostly ridiculous.] You win some, you lose some. That happens. Still sucks.

I used to draw stuff. We can do that together. It would be fun. [Maybe. Probably. Hopefully?] Yeah. The Tower kind of keeps us busy. [Dave won't openly admit he's probably been avoiding people more the longer he stays here.]

Sure, if you don't mind. [Ridiculousness is an acceptable reason--]

...! [OH HEY someone else who draws? This is very interesting to her!] Okay...! I'd like that. [It'd definitely be cause for concern if he did, though as it is she's got enough to think on.] ... Do you miss it? Making music, I mean. Or-- drawing, too, I suppose.

I don't. More to do, that's all.

[He's not the best drawer though.] Cool. Another thing for another time. [Good thing she won't ever know. Hopefully.] The movie is starting. [That jackass totally changed the subject. He doesn't want to think much about it. He'll have to think about how long he's been here and how much he's been out of touch with everything he used to do.]

[She'll just smile a little. Silly guy, as always.]

[Not that she cares.] Right. It's a plan. [Hopefully, because that would be tremendously awkward for all parties involved. She watches him a bit longer after the subject change; she saw what he did there. Well, if he'd rather not talk about it, she'll just look back at the screen.]

[Nope. He was totally not obvious about it. But he turned his attention back to the screen.

...

Who the fuck wears sunglasses while watching a movie? Dave.]

[....

Who doesn't notice when someone wears sunglasses while watching a movie? Naminé. It's both because she's just so used to seeing him like that that she doesn't think about it too much and because even those silly opening things everyone has seen a bajillion times when watching movies are new and interesting to her.]

[These two are just flawless. But Dave is glad she seems pretty entranced with the movie. It's kind of cool the first few times you see it. Not so much when you've probably seen it that you can't count it on your toes and fingers.]

[Movies in general are enough to get that reaction out of her, though one that's so... well, fanciful, does add something to the experience.]

[In hindsight, Willy Wonka is probably a movie that doesn't really ease someone into the movie viewing experience, but hey. Might as well start with a bang, right?]

[It seems to be working well enough. She'd probably find it a lot sillier if she didn't come from a universe where Santa and mermaids and talking skeletons and zombie pirates are all things that legitimiately exist. As it is, she seems to be having fun, if one knows her expressions.]

[Dave glances at her once in awhile, to see how she's reacting to the movie. He kind of just smiles a bit. This was kind of nice.]

[Naminé appears to be enjoying herself, attention rapt as she watches the movie. It definitely gets a few smiles and a few frowns, but never bad ones. Kind of nice, indeed.]

[It's actually kind of fun to watch someone watch a movie. Especially if that person wasn't usually familiar with these kinds of things.

It was pretty amusing. Or maybe Dave just like to observe her reactions.]

[They're pretty good reactions, at least for someone like her, who's typically on the more restrained side. If one knows what to look for, anyway.]

[He's going to idly look at what to put in next while she continues to watch. He's seen this movie before so he knows what's happening. He wants to make sure they can go straight into the next one. Need to see all the movies!]

[All the movies, all of them! Although this one is kind of making her frown at the moment, because bratty kids are bratty but also those punishments are kind of. Not very nice. But what's a story without problems, right?]

[He'll probably choose something less intense then. Maybe an animated film. Those are usually pretty great, right? ~~It's hard choosing movies when characters are appable from them ROFL.~~]

[WELP considering her universe is one big canon puncture--]

[She seems to be okay most of the time! This is a lot easier to watch than Con Air was. (She had her eyes closed for half of it, it seemed.) -- Oh, she's smiling again.]

[Guess Disney movies isn't a think he can show. Thinking of movies is hard.]

You having fun? [He likes it when she smiles. Okay, okay.]

[WELL there are plenty of them with characters she wouldn't know of, and besides, she'd just figure some alternate universe or some such shenanigans were going on.]

--!

[She turns to blink at him, obviously pretty absorbed in the movie.]

-- Oh! Yes...! Very much.
