Deciding to gather all the laundry after breakfast, Ania couldn't help but smile at his promise to bring clothes. So there would be a next time. That was very exciting. Biting carefully into a piece of her orange, she frowned when the juice ended up covering her fingers despite her careful efforts. She was going to end up smelling like an orange for the rest of the day, but there were definitely worse scents out there. "No, I like having company. It was .. nice to sleep with someone. Warmer, anyway." She had thought about getting a cat or a similar small animal to keep her company, but she didn't want to leave it alone all day while she had classes.

Setting aside the remains of her fruit, she dropped her head on the table, folding her arms up to act as a pillow. She had gotten up too fast, and still felt a bit sleepy. "What do you want to do today? I've got no classes until tomorrow morning." It was easier to hang out with friends when you're young. Seven year olds can be entertained with a nice game of pretend or hide and seek. She hadn't had much experience in entertaining people, and remained relatively clueless on the subject. "What do you like to do? As a hobby, I mean."

<div align=center>Hadrian could do naught but agree with her, he liked having something, or in this case someone to cuddle at night. Back at home it was Altair, depending on where he fell asleep at least. Hadrian had banned the tiger from the bed, since the last time he'd climbed up on it, the frame had snapped in two. He figured that Ania would like the furry beast though, he was warm, and Hadie tended to curl up with him if he got sick, it made him feel like a child again, though there wasn't anyone to look after him anymore, not that he minded too much. "I'd say I enjoyed company, too, but that wouldn't be entirely true." He laughed very softly, "I enjoy your company." He was awfully fussy over who he spent time with.

Hadrian didn't really know, he supposed he'd have to go and look for Altair at some point, but the animal would be fine for a while longer, he was large enough and smart enough to fend for himself, and sometimes Hadie didn't see him for days. He knows where I live. Hadrian had no idea whether he had classes or not, but he didn't really care either way. Hobbies? He didn't really have any hobbies, except for painting, and they'd already talked about that. "What do you want to do, more to the point?" He asked her, he didn't think it was a good idea to time travel again for a little while, but they could do something else.</div>

She felt rather special, if he didn't enjoy company normally. "Well. I enjoy your company best, too." She wasn't quite sure what she wanted to do. A nap would be fun, but she supposed that he wasn't sleepy after so long. After thinking for a bit, she discovered that she was really, really bad at ideas for activities. "I'll do whatever you wanna do. I have movies, so we can do that if you want ... Movies, take a nap, go somewhere." Watching movies was mostly how she spent her days, but she didn't want to bore him, so maybe going out could be a fun idea. Taking time to think for a bit, she pushed herself away from the table, she stood for a moment before gathering up the finished dishes. Setting them aside, she gathered up all of their laundry in a basket, setting it near the door to be taken care of later.

A frown creased her brow as she thought what what could be a fun outing. Hey, didn't he promise to take her on a date to the zoo? "Are you up for the zoo? Or should we save that for another day?" A trip out there might be fun, and he called it a date that was even more exciting. "A date, wasn't it?" Playfully grinning, she couldn't help but wonder if he had only asked her to go out on a whim, and didn't mean anything by it. Pushing that nastier thought down, Ania decided to keep believing that he really did prefer her company. "Maybe watch a movie while your clothes wash, and then decide what to do after?"

<div align=center>Hadie smiled softly, it pleased him to hear that. He generally didn't talk this much to other people, he supposed that was odd but he didn't linger to think about it. A movie sounded like a good idea, though he supposed she could take a nap if she wanted to, he could always stay here until she woke up again. He probably could have slept a while longer if he forced himself to, though that perhaps wouldn't be very good for him. "A movie sounds like a good idea." He returned, wondering briefly what she had in mind. Hadrian didn't really have any particular movie preference, he just tended to watch whatever struck his fancy.

He hadn't forgotten about the zoo, "it was a date." He confirmed with a nod, he supposed they could go there today, maybe they could go after his clothes had dried, "we can do that, if you like." Whether she wanted to or not, he'd probably drag her along at some point, merely because he wanted to spend time with her, besides, she'd be cute getting excited about all the animals. "I'd like to do that, I think." He told her, it was early, they had plenty of time to go out.</div>

Movies! Did he like scary movies? She hadn't been able to watch them by herself, and her pile of unwatched horror began to grow. Tugging out a box of movies, she shuffled along, dragging it towards Hadrian. "These are some of my movies. I'll let you choose today. You can pick one of these or there's another box somewhere around here." She was beginning to get excited about this date. Leaving him to pick out something to watch, Ania tidied up the table, bringing things back to the sink to do later. The laundry she sorted and stuffed in a standard washing machine huddled in a closet near the bathroom. With the laundry started, she took a final glance around for anything needed to be done.

Satisfied, she launched herself back into her bed. Bouncing on the springs for a moment, she settled and patted herself back in place, smoothing her hair and clothes back down. Rolling to grab the remote on the nightstand, she pressed buttons at random, trying to make the stupid thing wake up. She hadn't yet mastered how to use the TV, despite watching movies fairly often. Finally managing to wake it up, she mashed more buttons until the familiar movie screen came up. "Find anything? Oh, I'm so excited for today!"

<div align=center>Horror didn't really scare Hadrian, it took a lot to make him even jump. He'd gone through them, picking out something that looked like it was probably about zombies. "What about this?" He asked, glancing at her, a smirk crossing his features. "Will you be scared?" He laughed, or perhaps this was a sneaky ploy to get her to cuddle him (which was probably incredibly likely.) He'd decided he was more or less finished eating, not much had gone to waste. "Can I sit with you?" He asked her, still perched on his chair at the table. He decided it was probably better to ask, since he was more or less still half naked.

Hadrian was excited too, for once, or perhaps that was just her excitement radiating off her. So cute. She'd been determined that she wasn't cute, and instead had called herself elegant. That was entirely true, she was elegant. But she was also so adorable that there was a desire deep down within the boy that wanted to cling to her and never let go. "What's your favourite animal?" He asked, "I hope they've got bears." Hadrian liked the big, toothy animals rather than anything else, they were the most exciting.</div>

Pursing her lips, Ania thought hard about whether she should say that she lacked a significant amount of bravery. "N-no I'll be ... okay. But for future reference, how do you feel about holding my hand through the scary parts?" Scooting over to make room for him, Ania patted the bed. "Yes please! Come sit, are you cold?" Favourite animal was tough. She liked her own kind, certainly, but they werent exciting. Bears were exciting, though. A bit scary in person, but very exciting. "I bet they have bears! Lots and lots of bears. I like penguins! When they walk on ice they hold their little arms out like they want to fly!" Automatically, her arms went up, mimicking the penguin's flippers.

She hoped he hadn't chosen too scary of a movie. Last time she had been scared in a theatre, she ended up half on the lap of her neighbor. Well, hopefully he wouldn't mind if she casually migrated on top of him. She could be sneaky about it, like a cat and he wouldn't notice a thing. "What kind of movie did you pick?" Wrapping her favourite red blanket around her head, only a small portion of her face was visible. "Is it scaaaary?"

<div align=center>Hadrian didn't mind holding her hand through the scary parts, "how about we save time and you just hold my hand now?" He purred softly, pushing himself up from the chair and sitting cross legged next to her on the bed. He shook his head when she asked if he was cold, the room was warm enough for him to be okay for a little while, at least until his clothes were all clean and dry. Hadrian laughed at her impression of a penguin, "that's pretty accurate." He ran a hand through his hair, "wouldn't it be weird if penguins could fly though? Imagine penguins sitting in trees." The thought made him giggle again.

He looked at the case of the movie, it was rated R though he was pretty sure both of them were old enough to watch it. He got the feeling it was probably gore rather than sex, though. "Shall I tell you when I think the scary parts are coming?" He asked, she couldn't be scared if she couldn't see them, right? Hadrian didn't want to terrify her, after all. "Just in case it's a little scary. I think it's about zombies." He handed the DVD case to her to have a look at.</div>

Smiling slightly, Ania complied and clutched his hand tightly, slowly settling in closer. She couldn't imagine if penguins could fly, they would be an odd sight. Little bullet shaped birds zooming through the sky, now that would be interesting to see. "Zombies are alright, I think. It's not so bad if you're here." Taking the case to examine it, she flipped it over, reading the synopsis. "It sounds very ... bloody." Though, it looked like it was going to be packed with action sequences. The more dramatic it was, the easier it would be to get closer.

Scooting to the end of the bed, she stuck the DVD in the player and poked at the play button. Crawling back to her spot, she settled in closer than she had been, leaning slightly into Hadrian. "Oh! Do you want any snacks? I think I might have popcorn somewhere around here--" A squawk on the TV made her jump a little, and she stared at the offender on the screen. Maybe... I'll just keep holding your hand." Tentatively grasping for his hand once more, she leaned a bit farther in, almost as if hiding. "You're really warm. I like it."

<div align=center>Hadie weaved his fingers through hers and pulled Ania close, he hadn't been in the company of a girl he actually liked in a long time. Hadrian frequently came across as a rude, misogynistic boy who could probably be noted as a sleep around. That wasn't true, of course. The only part that was true was that he had slept with an awful lot of women, not for a while mind you, and he wasn't particularly proud of it. Hadrian certainly wasn't misogynistic, in fact he was probably the complete opposite. "At least you know it's not real, right?" He chirped, "even if it was real, I'd protect you." He promised, "I wouldn't let them get you."

Snacks sounded good, but he didn't want to make her get up again. They could get lunch out, he thought the zoo probably had a little cafe there. He idly wrapped an arm around Ania's shoulders, smiling just a little. "That's fine by me." He'd never been called warm before, he took it as a compliment though, since she'd said she'd liked it. "Are you cold?" He asked, shifting a little and tucking her underneath the blankets. Her bed was warm and comfy and Hadrian found himself wanting more and more to curl up under the bed sheets and cuddle with her for a little while, he kept his mouth shut about it though, since there was a little voice at the back of his head that was asking what he would do if he got rejected.</div>
