[ Though she opens her mouth to respond, the sudden lowering of the lights has her momentarily wiggling in happiness! Finally, the previews are starting!
[ Grell turns her head to look at him with a huffy frown! ]
How can you say that when we're spending quality time together!
[ Said very much NOT in a whisper, which receives some aggravated hushes from the row behind them. With a tick of the tongue, the redhead tosses popcorn over her shoulder at them! ]
[ Grell yelps whilst cupping the newly sore spot at the side of her head-- but that doesn't get the same sort of hush. Either they caught on that she was the confrontational sort, or they've been satisfied by her beating. Maybe both. ]
So cruel... [ Pouting, she slumps against his shoulder! ]
[ William rolls his shoulder in a weak attempt to get her to move. Fortunately for her, there's an intriguing preview on the screen that's caught William's attention enough not to cause more of a ruckus by shoving her away. ]
[ Even so, she lifts her head and shifts her weight onto the armrest, instead. For now, she'll take the hint. For now. As Grell figures it, she should bide her time. Wait until the movie begins and has progressed into more interesting material!
[ Happy to comply, she hands over his drink with a bat of the lashes. It seems that she'd learned her lesson about spiking consumables-- but from there, it all became a bit confusing. After all, he'd seemed to have been more interested once she began to ignore him... Oh, now she's distracted, what's happening in this preview?
Anyway, either she's interested or she's not... Playing in between is going to be quite the challenge. She's not even certain that she can do it...
Oh!! The movie's starting! Perking up, she's positively grinning. ]
[ Perhaps it's because they haven't spent much 'quality time together' until now, but William's quite surprised by how excited Grell seems to get when something particularly morbid or gruesome happens on screen. Or maybe concerned is a better word. Whichever the case, William finds himself placing a hand on her forearm to get her to stop vibrating in her seat! ]
[ It's not the heartfelt scene that she had in mind, nor is she properly thinking at all when she curls up against him, opposite hand wrapping beneath his arm! She's already excited, and when he touches her in such a way, all she can think to do is hold on. She's quite happy, watching such a riveting movie and having him by her side.
She snuggles her cheek down atop his shoulder, giggling as another ridiculous maiming scenario flashes across the screen. ]
[ Obviously she misunderstood what his intention was at touching her. But it's keeping her from bouncing and clapping in her seat, so he allows it.
Once the film ends and the lights are turned back up, William catches sight of a number of others in the theater who thought her behaviour was just as odd. ]
[ Quite used to those sort of looks, Grell doesn't even notice them. In fact, now that the movie no longer has her attention, she realizes how long she's been holding onto William, instead-- there's positively no attention left to spare for some unimportant bystanders!
Cheeks rosy, she swings out her feet, and is up into them with a bounce! ]
Oh, wasn't that marvelous, Will♥? You liked it, right?! [ She spins on her heel to face him, hands on her thighs as she leans in closer. ]
[ William putting his hands on her only makes the redhead smile all the more, batting her painted lashes at him flirtatiously. Of course, she'll follow from there, catching up to grasp the bottom hem of his sleeve to keep the other from dropping the door on her. ]
Well, of course it wasn't intended to. They're pushing for the audience to feel something, though, and I just adore the drama behind it all!
[ She has no issue waiting for him, simply swinging her arms behind her to lace her fingers, eyes closed as she contently takes in the fragrance carried on the brisk air. ]
You really think so? [ She looks incredibly flattered! ] I've been told that I'm far too reckless and not nearly calculating enough... [ She trails off into a mutter with a pout. ]
[ Shoulders slumping with a quiet sigh, Grell steps forward to take hold of the other's upper arms with a smile. ]
You shouldn't be surprised at all. You're handsome, sharp-- but that isn't even what makes you so special. [ Lips parting, she places one of those hands over his heart. ] I see a darkness in you-- but with the slightest spark, becomes consumed by this-- beautiful fire. [ She nods confidently. ] And I love all of it.

[ Not that it looks like she's even doing that, what with all the snacks she pulled out of that pocket of hers. ]
no subject
But she'll still reply, just in hushed tones! ]
Like what?
no subject
[ Though whispered, he still sounds as stern and serious as usual. ]
no subject
How can you say that when we're spending quality time together!
[ Said very much NOT in a whisper, which receives some aggravated hushes from the row behind them. With a tick of the tongue, the redhead tosses popcorn over her shoulder at them! ]
no subject
Keep your voice down. You are going to get yourself booted from the theater before the film's even begun.
[ And he won't be following along if that does happen! He paid good money for this ticket. ]
no subject
So cruel... [ Pouting, she slumps against his shoulder! ]

And so, FOR NOW, she offers him some popcorn! ]
no subject
Less hesitant of the popcorn, as she'd just purchased it before the film, William takes a handful, then silently gestures for his drink. ]

[ He forces her to move back a bit so he can stand and immediately begins to exit the theater, expecting she'll follow right behind. ]
I don't believe any of those scenes were intended to make you laugh.
no subject
Well, of course it wasn't intended to. They're pushing for the audience to feel something, though, and I just adore the drama behind it all!
no subject
It's a wonder you weren't placed in my house. You seem to fit it far more than your own.
[ Though he hates to think what his life would be like if they were bunk mates! ]

no subject
You sound disappointed that you aren't in Slytherin.
no subject
Yes-- and no. I mean, I find most thing about my house suiting, but I just find some of my housemates so--.... dull, really.
no subject
[ Apparently he doesn't feel the same. ]
no subject
Is that a hint of self deprecation I hear?

no subject
Perhaps I'm just not used to someone wanting me around.
[ He takes her by the wrists, moving her hands off his chest and arm. Gently, for once. ]
Is there something else you wanted to do together?
