[ Kyouko glances over at him as he hooks his arm through hers, but again, she doesn't pull away. She knows Leon has feelings for her, and it has her wondering if the contact is platonic or not. But she decides not to think about it too hard, because it's not necessarily bad, and he probably needs the closeness now anyway.
So she turns back to look at the screen, as the movie finally starts. It seems normal enough, but this is Cerealia, and a weird alien subplot could pop up any moment. ]
[Platonic might not be the right word, but it's innocent enough; it's comfortable like this, and she's right that he's glad for the closeness. It's easier not to think about people going missing, and to focus on people who are still here and good company.
. . . There are definitely a lot of alien extras in this movie, though . . . ]
Isn't it weird the main characters are all humans but everyone else is some weird thing?
[He keeps his voice down, attention still mostly on the movie.]
[He catches her expression in the low light of the theater. Damn, why does she have to be so cute? If this were a date, with a girl who agreed on a date with him, as he'd gotten so used to back home . . . he'd definitely move in right about now. But it's not like that, so all he can do is admire, and fluster the tiniest bit at the thought.
Right, they're watching a movie! He turns back to it, squeezing her arm gently.]
I guess most of the people they bring in here from outside are humans anyway.
Y, yeah, y'know, liiiike . . . like all the humans they hire as models? Like me!
[Sure, just like that. That had not at all been what he was going to say, but it's close enough to the same sentiment. Good job, Leon! I'm so smart sometimes! Surely she'll never question it.]
[Of course he was taking a sip of soda when she said that, and of course he chokes on it a little when she does, covering his face. Oh god. She's got him there.
He just gives her a horrified, pleading look as he coughs. You go to the corner and think about what you just said, Kirigiri.]
[At least he didn't spit it anywhere. That's so much worse when you have a beard! He manages to swallow and clears his throat, passing his hand over his mouth; it's a good thing not many people are in this showing. They might be getting some looks.]
Y, you know what I meant . . . you're totally picking on me!
[ It really is a good thing not many people are at this showing, because while Kyouko doesn't care about any odd looks she doesn't want to cause a disruption. ]
Heh... it's hard to resist sometimes. [ Because really, Leon's an easy target. ]
I never thought you were that type when we first met.
[It's so hard. On one hand, there's nothing Leon hates more than being made fun of. On the other . . . it's Kirigiri, and when she smiles and laughs, that kind of makes it all worth it.

Yes, but somehow it isn't surprising, is it? [ What's surprising is that movie is relatively normal by CERES standards. ]

They are, as far as I'm aware. I'm sure there are a few that aren't human, though. [ There's bound to be. ]
no subject
[He lowers his voice even more for that, keeping even his laugh under his breath.]
no subject
It wouldn't be surprising, would it?

[—orn.
To watch on the internet. Oookay, maybe don't just spill that out to friggin' Kirigiri while you're out together on not-a-date!
He cuts off and clears his throat, gaze darting away.]

[ And really, Leon's such a good sport which makes it harder to resist poking fun at him. ]
