[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.

[But everyone has got to see The Lion King at least once.]

Sorry. Didn't mean to distract you from the movie.

[But he's quite glad she's enjoying herself. He feels like he did something good, even if it was just making one person in this entire Tower smile and enjoy herself.]

[That's a recipe for the sads, at least part of the beginning of it, but clearly it is a rite of passage and therefore one she must perform to be a fullfledged teenager.]

-- No, that's all right.

[It's very much appreciated, and that's especially obvious in the way she smiles warmly at him before turning back to the movie.]

[Everyone must watch Disney movies. At least one. But The Lion King is important to watch. At least Dave thinks so.

KJSDHSJKD He just. Smiles dumbly even if she isn't looking because she smiled at him and he's so proud even if it isn't that hard to make her smile. IT'S AN IMPORTANT VICTORY.]

[Technically she's watched condensed versions of a lot of them ~~but those kind of sucked in comparison~~.]

[Not difficult, no, but she spent a lot of her life not having the chance to smile. Each and every sincere one that she can enjoy and share with others now is more meaningful, perhaps, because of that. IMPORTANT VICTORY INDEED oh hey it looks like the movie is getting closer to the end.]

[She'll get to watch the full, cooler versions! With the Disney happy endings to boot.

Oh it is getting closer to the end. He's going to to turn his attention to the screen for a bit. It's probably really creepy to keep watching her or something. Not that being socially acceptable in this place seems to matter.]

[That... is probably a better way to watch them, it's true, though she'll likely be wondering why Sora, Donald, and Goofy seem to have gotten the short end of the stick as far as recognition goes. ~~jgdbjgkdbkg~~]

[Probably! Except she wouldn't know any better if it was, and she didn't pay it much mind in the first place; she's easily distracted by movies, it seems, at least while they're new and engaging. -- Aw yeah, movie's ending.]

[Dave could find A Goofy Movie for her. Although that's probably not what she'd be expecting in terms of movies involving the other.

Well, she should be distracted by them! Dave is just kind of got his mind on other things like an idiot. Plus, he's seen this movie at least once, if not more.]

[That would be pretty trippy for her, although not quite so much as it might otherwise be since she's gotten a lot more familiar with the concept of alternate universes thanks to the Tower.]

[Silly Dave and his silly distractions-- oh, okay, hello ending credits.]

[Alternate universe shenanigans really does desensitize them to the weirdest stuff that goes on here.

Dave gets up to switch movies.] I basically gotta throw at least a Disney movie into this marathon. You haven't lived until you've seen a Disney movie.

[It definitely does. It's somewhat of a blessing.]

[The name makes her blink, visibly surprised.] Disney? [It could easily pass for confusion stemming from never having heard the name, but the fact of the matter is, she's surprised because it's familiar. Disney Castle--?]

Disney. They make a crapton of sicknasty movies and they got amusement parks. I don't think anyone back home can grow up not knowing what Disney is.

[He's not aware about any of her background though, so he kind of assumes it's because she doesn't have Disney.]

[The way her brow is knitting, you'd think this was a subject of great (and confusing) import. After a moment, though, her perplexity seems to ease away, and she nods, a smile slowly easing back onto her face.]

I guess it's not like that where I come from. Well-- I suppose I have to see one now, right? [Not that she seems to mind that.]

[He puts in the next movie.]

Of course. It's basically a crime to not have watched any Disney films, even if you couldn't help it. [Seriously. How can you not have watched a Disney princess movie or something.]

[She watches him, looking more thoughtful than would otherwise be strictly necessary.]

-- I wouldn't want that. Thank you-- for the opportunity to fix it.

[That, however, is a joke. And not seeing a Disney princess movie is ESPECIALLY IRONIC because she technically is one. Or at least part of one, anyway.]

[He's totally going to show her Beauty and the Beast. That's a good Disney princess movie. Honestly, he might have to consider an entire day to just Disney movies sometime.]

Anyone else would once they realized you hadn't seen these.

[The irony of it all. But he doesn't know.]

[Heck yes it is, and definitely one she'll recognize some faces from. ~~It would be one strange and magical day, that much is for sure.~~]

[She doesn't know about that, but,] Still, it-- means a lot to me.

[That may be ironic, too, considering his relationship with irony. Ironyception up in here.]

[Disney marathon is the best type of marathon.]

Well...I mean thanks. For watching these with me? [Oh no. He doesn't know how to respond to that!]

[The very best, like no one ever was--]

[-- Blink. Dave, you so silly. Here, have a somewhat amused smile.]

You're welcome...! [KIND OF A JOKE.] I'm glad I could keep you company.

[He's kind of an idiot. Also, it is hard to converse with someone you like and you're trying to not be obvious!]

Yeah...I'm glad you could too. [Oh my god just watch the movie!!!]
