[She huffs again and turns away. She doesn't say anything for a minute or two, but it's not because she's ignoring him. She's trying to think of what to say. For her, it'd only been a day or two since she saw him, thanks to waiting around on the Marsiva.
[Oh, concern. That's always a bit of a weird one for him. He gives a little shrug as he starts getting this shuttle to fly]
....Not really. There's no war here, so this whole thing's already leagues better than the last place we were at. I mean, the food and liquor's terrible, but...it's not so bad.
And you'd be proud of me, I've only chased off two crewmates! [He even holds up a hand with two fingers up to show. See?? JUST TWO]
Why wouldn't I be? Alcohol's nice! But you're right, even if it's terrible, at least there's plenty to fill people's stomachs.
[Unlike in that moon base where he went without eating just to make sure his roommates had enough. That sucked]
Ha, why thank you. [Okay even he knows it's true] And I wouldn't say it was high maintenance! Like one of them? Kept touching me and prying into my romantic life. And when I said I didn't like that? She got pissed off and strongly suggested I get off the ship.
[Oh no, he laughed. He rarely ever laughs like that and he certainly doesn't smile all the time. She wears a dumb smile on her face as she tries not to chuckle... and fails.]
Anyway, so I was thinking...going with a classic- so, have dinner and watch a movie? [At least, he's read somewhere it was a classic] I mean, I wasn't really sure what kind of movie you're supposed to watch, but we got enough movies that I'm sure we can pick something out.
[Since hey, apparently movie collections grow when you're bored out of your mind and stuck on a ship]
Sounds good to me. [She's never done the dinner and a movie thing before, but at least she knows what a movie is. Thanks, earth people.] ... You know, I don't think I've ever seen a movie before. Are there lots of different kinds, then?
[She's thinking in terms of plays, so like... romance, drama, comedy. That's it.]
Oh man, I can't wait to see how wrong it is. That's okay, though. I'm not used to ninjas being-- celebrated? I don't know if that's the word for it.
I went to a play in Meltokio once, you probably remember the one. The villain in the play was a ninja and a really nasty one at that. Poor and stupid and... you know. It left a really bad taste in my mouth.
[Sure is great being a lower class citizen, even lower than the poor people in Meltokio.]
[... Basically. She misses home, but that worry is behind her now that there's all that weird timey wimey shit she learned about in Exsilium. She can safely leave it to her other self, which is a weird thing to think about, but that's what it is.

She turns bright red though.]
Well-- y-- yeah, but still! You don't have to look like you're about to go digging around in there!

[Don't crack a grin, don't crack a grin- nope okay not working so well]
I dunno about that. Most of my pockets can't hold that.
no subject
Nothing else! [FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF]
I can't believe we're having this conversation.
no subject
[Truly!]
But fine, fine. We can change the subject.
no subject
But for Zelos...]
... I hope things haven't been too hard for you.

[She stares at him for a moment, and then she snorts. (Very attractive.)]
Too high-maintenance for them, huh? I thought it'd be closer to like... five. You've gotten a little better with people, though, I'll give you that.

She cranes her head around and stares though.]
Damn. When someone's annoying your personal space, I know it's bad.
[She pauses, then looks away again. Her voice is light.]
You... really turned her down? Even though I was gone?
no subject
[Annnd there's a pause at her words. He has to swallow the sting a little]
Well...yeah.
I know I have quite a history, but I'm not a cheater. [He wasn't going to be his dad, no matter what]
no subject
It's-- it's not that I expect you to be one. I mean, your reputation back home was something else, but you're-- different, when you're with me.
You spent six months alone already and you might never have seen me again. That's a real risk. I'd like to say I wouldn't let that happen, but then...
[She trails off, not knowing entirely where she was going with this.]
... I'd understand if you hadn't waited. You can do whatever you want. I'll never try to drag you down, that's not what I'm about.
no subject
I wanted to wait, Sheena. I like you.
Just...get over the guilt thing about not being here right away, okay? Six months isn't that long.
no subject
W-- well--
[Make that physical too.]
I-I like you too. So... I'm going to do this, okay? [She squeezes his hand.] And this too.
[She leans in to kiss his cheek, since lips might be bad when he's driving.]
screw it no short hair icon fits
No fair, it's not like I can do anything back while I'm flying this thing!
no subject
That was kind of the point.
no subject
[Nevermind he's still smiling]

Then it's official, that's what we're gonna watch.

[He snickers and squeezes her hand. Yaaaaais. He picked right]
Haha, already got one picked out!

[His home was full of problematic stories like that, really. Yet another reason not to miss the place, he supposes]
But don't worry! This thing is plenty wrong! I hear there's a fight scene done entirely in the air- because you know, ninjas can fly!

She looks at Kaneis incredulously.]
N... no? Oh man, this sounds ridiculous.
