The Arms Hotel- Room 614- Sunday

[solo_sword]

Valentine's Day this year was sort of being done on the fly, which was more than fine by Jaina. She'd been expecting to just ignore the holiday altogether. She and John had had the dance last night, and today involved movie night. Because someone had to finally find out what "twitterpated" meant, and apparently a viewing of the meta for Bambi was the only way that was going to happen.

So after getting everything set up and getting the movie started and getting comfortable, Jaina noticed, "This is a cartoon."

Someone also had apparently not come to realize that animation was not always an insult to anyone over the age of five, but then again, she'd met Jar Jar Binks.


[For he whose room it is.]

"Are you starting to understand why I was skeptical about watching this?" John replied, munching on popcorn because that was the part he was looking forward to.

[solo_sword]

"You didn't tell me it was a cartoon," she pointed out. That was a yes. "I feel like that might have been a vital piece of information."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Uh, it's called Bambi. What did you think it was about? Twitterpated playboy bunnies?" John might be smirking at her.

[solo_sword]

"Visitor, remember? Besides, if it was about playboy bunnies I'd think you'd be more interested in watching it, and I still don't know what that word means," she pointed out. Even if she was thinking the smirk was cute.

John laughed around a mouthful of popcorn. "You'll find out. Just don't be dirty during it, okay." That'd be weird.

[solo_sword]

Jaina sighed, looking over at him. "This is finally going to be the movie we make it through, isn't it?" That was weird, too. It felt like they were destroying tradition.

"Aww, don't look so sad," he told her. "We could invite your little friend over and then it'd be like group movie watching forced you to keep your hands off me." His ideas were a little scary.

[solo_sword]

"You've developed some strange kinks while you were away," she said lightly.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Watching movies is a kink now?" John asked. He should probably not tell her about his team's movie nights.

[solo_sword]

"The way you just explained it, it sounds like it," Jaina said, bumping him with her shoulder. "Especially since who knows how the keeping my hands off you thing will actually go." She was probably teasing. Childrens' movie.

"Oh I see how it is, you just missed your daily fix," John teased. Because he would ever deny her anything.

[solo_sword]

"For thirty-three days," she pointed out, even if that wasn't it. She'd just missed him. They didn't even have to do anything and she'd be happy just teasing him during movie night.

"Scoot over," John told her, sliding toward her to get one arm around her and keep the other around the popcorn bowl. "We can make up for a half of one with some snuggling."

[solo_sword]

She did just that, snuggling against him comfortably. "Have you gotten to see any movies lately?" she wondered. Just one of those little details she wondered about.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Nothing new," he replied. "But what we did watch was always a bonding experience."

[solo_sword]

"A bonding experience?" she asked, totally curious.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Well yeah, like sporting events and Visitors." Clearly these were the important videos to take on an intergalactic journey.

[solo_sword]

"I almost want to say I feel like you could have made better choices there, but I can't tell you how since we never make it through movies," she said honestly.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"It was more a matter of being able to relax during off-hours than taking in good film," he pointed out.

[solo_sword]

"Is this with your team?" she checked.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Did I mention I had a team?" John wondered.

[solo_sword]

"...No?" she said after a moment of trying to remember if he'd said anything about it yesterday. "You do, though, right?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Kind of," John said, feeling a wave of guilt over his lost teammate and giving her a bit of a squeeze in hopes of distracting her away from his feelings if she noticed them. Empaths.

[solo_sword]

Given his reaction to her asking how things went, there were some things she knew not to push, even if it meant she might never hear them. "Is it weird for you that I know stuff?" she asked, trying to change the subject juuust enough to gauge what she could say.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Kind of? Mostly it's surprising," he said. "This mean you're gonna interrupt the small talking animals to question me?"
