If you still got other stuff to do, you don't.

[Which is honestly more her problem than his. She still hasn't seen the whole way through any of his movies, even the time they started King Kong from the middle. Just thinking about it she yawns, leans against him.]

If you're ready, put on your favorite. They're all the same to me.

Re: night 76

[crossmyheartandhope]

Jeez, I oughtta be asking if you wanna put on a movie.

[He's picking Seven Samurai, though.]

Re: night 76

[unbr8kable]

[She hears it's a good one]

Why not? Was a long day.

What's this one about again?

Re: night 76

[crossmyheartandhope]

It's the one with the seven samurai in it.

[Pokes at her, casual.]

Re: night 76

[unbr8kable]

[Pokes back, though not very hard]

Man, I never would've guessed. I figured it was about three clowns or something.

Re: night 76

[crossmyheartandhope]

I mean, if you really want one with three clowns, I bet we can find something.

Re: night 76

[unbr8kable]

I most definitely do not. Just tell me who's who, I can keep seven people straight.

Re: night 76

[crossmyheartandhope]

There's the townpeople, too, though.

Last call on the clowns.

[He's hitting play, though.]

Re: night 76

[unbr8kable]

[Nudges against him, harder]

No clowns!

Re: night 76

[crossmyheartandhope]

Sounds like a vote for the next movie I pick up. Killer Clowns From Outer Space or something.

[Settling in against her as the movies starts up.]

Re: night 76

[unbr8kable]

'Cause I need a new reason for nightmares...

[Despite the grumbles she loops her arm loosely around his waist, comfortable]

Re: night 76

[crossmyheartandhope]

Right? Pretty sure we hit our quota on those.

Re: night 76

[unbr8kable]

Yeah...

[pauses]

...You been doing okay lately?

Re: night 76

[crossmyheartandhope]

I dunno. Same as usual?

How bout you?

Re: night 76

[unbr8kable]

Nothing new, anyways.

[pauses]

‘S not so bad when we’re out here.

Re: night 76

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah. And like.

[Hesitates.]

...when you're there, when I wake up. That's better, too.

Re: night 76

[unbr8kable]

Yeah. ...Yeah. It’s easier, when I’m with you.

Re: night 76

[crossmyheartandhope]

[He doesn't say anything for a long little while, just watching the movie play. Then, real quiet:]

There's always a couple seconds, right when I wake up. When it's like - I can't get with it. Y'know?

And I don't know for sure, what part's the dream.

Re: night 76

[unbr8kable]

[pulle him in a little closer]

...Is there anything that helps? Like...looking at something, or touching something...

Re: night 76

[crossmyheartandhope]

...yeah. Like I said, it - helps, when you're there.

Re: night 76

[unbr8kable]

[Nods, quiet]

Anything else? Or anybody? Since you head out sometimes.

Re: night 76

[crossmyheartandhope]

[He's quiet for a couple of beats. Then, reluctant:]

I been practicing.

Being by myself, I mean. Gotta get over it sometime, right?

Re: night 76

[unbr8kable]

[Ridges her brows]

...Do you? I mean, it's not a bad thing, liking people around.

[Which is not exactly the issue, but]

Re: night 76

[crossmyheartandhope]

Don't I? I mean... it's been a while.

Gotta pull it together eventually.

Re: night 76

[unbr8kable]

Yeah...

[Uncertain, though. Neither of them are from a background where 'walk it off' isn't the typical answer, but even so, from her expression, it doesn't feel right either.]

...I don't think you gotta rush it, though. Like...it's okay to start slow, too.
