It's not half-assing it. You don't need a live blade to spar better.

Re: night 76

[He's just quiet for a minute. The movie runs in the background. The villagers are promising rice to some guys if they'll come protect the village by now, probably.]

[He's curled into her a little.]





...guess it doesn't hurt to give it a try.

Re: night 76

[unbr8kable]

[Tension drains from her embrace even as she tucks him in, closer. There's no words, not right now, but she leans in, kisses him on the forehead, fierce.]

Re: night 76

[crossmyheartandhope]

[When she moves back again, he tucks his forehead in against her, just resting it on her shoulder. He probably can't actually see the movie like this, but. Tradeoffs.]

Re: night 76

[unbr8kable]

[He's probably seen the movie more times than he can count anyway. She cradles him closer, leaning her cheek against the top of his head]

Re: night 76

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Okay. Okay, cool.]

[Just going to stay there for a while.]



[His breathing is mostly even, but after a while, possibly her badass military jacket is going to get a little wet.]

Re: night 76

[unbr8kable]

[For so many reasons, it's fine. She might hug him a little tighter, but that's all.]

Re: night 76

[crossmyheartandhope]

[It takes him a while to move. When he finally does, he snuffles a little - scrubs at his eyes.]

...sorry.

Re: night 76

[unbr8kable]

[Lets him, but stays touching him]

You've got nothing to apologise for.

Re: night 76

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Huffs something that might be a laugh, kind of shaky.]

You sure? Cause I'm pretty sure you dunno who's who in the movie now.

Re: night 76

[unbr8kable]

...It's all samurai, they all look the same anyway. Not a big deal.

Re: night 76

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah, but you gotta know who's a badass for when the fight scenes start.

[He slips his hand down to find hers - threads their fingers together and squeezes.]

Re: night 76

[unbr8kable]

[Squeezes back, leaning in against him]

Aren't they all badasses? It's not called the Seven Scrubs.

Re: night 76

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah, but there's like levels of badassery.

[Counter-lean goes here.]

Re: night 76

[unbr8kable]

Seven of 'em?

Re: night 76

[crossmyheartandhope]

It's like you've seen the movie before or something.

Re: night 76

[unbr8kable]

The beginning of it, sure. Can't vouce for what happens past a half-hour in or so.

Re: night 76

[crossmyheartandhope]

We oughtta just start it half an hour later every time. You'll get it all eventually.

Re: night 76

[unbr8kable]

In theory, huh... I mean, you've seen it all, right? You can tell me what I need to know later.

Re: night 76

[crossmyheartandhope]

Hey, the cliff notes version doesn't come with the fight scenes.

Re: night 76

[unbr8kable]

Are they good ones?

Re: night 76

[crossmyheartandhope]

Duh.

Re: night 76

[unbr8kable]

Guess I'll have to stay up for 'em sometime.

[Reaches up to pull some more blankets around them; adjusts the pillows behind him to lie down further. Then she settles back beside him in a way that doesn't seem particularly conducive to staying up for anything, curled close and arm flopped over his middle.]

Re: night 76

[crossmyheartandhope]

Not today, huh?

[But after a beat's hesitation, he's going to follow suit - settles down to a reclined posture that matches hers, more suited for sleeping than watching fight scenes.]

Re: night 76

[unbr8kable]

Mm...

[Scoots in, apparently finding a comfortable place to settle her head at the crook of his shoulder where she can feel his (too slow) pulse]
