Room 527, Sunday night

[solo_sword]

Jaina got back upstairs later than she'd planned to, with the goodbyes she had to say and Fight Club, though not necessarily in that order. At least yesterday had been good, and she had tonight to look forward to. Hopefully.

There was a reason when she got to the room, she asked, "You're not a bunny again, are you?"


[For the sometime bunny.]

"You'll have to hit T&C for a rental," he told her, sticking out his tongue.

[solo_sword]

"So cold," she teased, leaning against him because she could. "Why's there a kid in this?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"His grandpa is telling him the story, just watch," John told her, leaning in and wrapping a comfortable arm around her.

[solo_sword]

"I feel like we've lived this," she said, smiling despite the bad day.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"What? The storytelling?" John asked, curious.

[solo_sword]

Jaina nodded. "And the interruptions." Obviously Jordin and Jaryd got it from her.

"You and the kids were good at that," John teased, feeling a touch of nostalgia.

[solo_sword]

"Maybe you should have told the story faster," she grinned, knowing that would not have been possible.

"Maybe I should invest in duct tape," he grinned back.

[solo_sword]

"Like that would work," she scoffed.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Never know till I try."

[solo_sword]

"You would really go the duct tape route," she questioned, not believing it at all.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

No. "Yep." He held his forefinger to his lips, wondering if that would even stop her from talking through a movie.

[solo_sword]

"Would not," she said, but was happy to fall silent for a bit if it meant she got the last word there. Till she found something new to comment on.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

When she did comment, he wasn't going to be surprised, but he was intrigued to see just what part of the movie caught her interest. It was a favorite, after all.

[solo_sword]

It didn't take too long. She started frowning a bit first as she watched, then noted after a moment, "The princess is a bitch."

Jaina might need a mirror for some of her interactions.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," John agreed.

[solo_sword]

"I mean, at least smile at him or something."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"He's winning her over," John promised.

[solo_sword]

"And he could do better."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Doesn't mean he wants to," John pointed out. "Maybe we just don't know her very well yet."

[solo_sword]

"Maybe," she said, though she doubted it. She'd watch a bit more before making up her mind anyway.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

John would just sit there and mouth the funnier lines along with the people on the screen while he waited for Jaina to comment again.

[solo_sword]

At one point, Jaina looked over at him to see his reactions, and noticed the mouthing, which just brought a lopsided smile to her face.

He stopped as soon as he was caught and gave her a completely innocent look.
