Shay hadn't realized it had gotten so late. Her eyes widened. "Yeah, probably better that I get back stat. I don't want to be late." She dreaded having to sleep, though. She figured he must have, too, with all the nightmares he faced. "What's your favorite movie?" She asked as they took to walking, wanting something to fill the silence between them.
"Um..." He thought for a bit. "I got to see something called Star wars... I think it was the seventh one though. It was kinda confusing, but really flashy and cool... I haven't seen a lot of movies. Kinda wanna see the other six now." He smiled. "What about you?"
"The Phantom of the Opera," Shay said without pause and smiled benevolently. "Erik, the Phantom, is an amazing antagonist. My favorite character." She glanced at her feet.
Plenty of people were still out, and the lights and parties hadn't died down in the slightest. Shay didn't pay much attention to most of them, or so it seemed. She would tense when anyone got too close, and she was also moving a little too stiffly near the crowds they passed.
"Phantom? Hm... So what does this ghost do?" He asks. Like he said, he hadn't seen many movies, so one she liked so much sounded interesting. He was wary of the crowds as well, and would tug her hand gently to keep her closer to him when they got too close.
"Well, he's not really a ghost. Everyone just thinks he is, because no one ever sees him. He wears this cool half mask, and he's a genius, but he has a bad burn on the side of his face and has never really had human contact. Anyway, he falls in love with this girl on set who has a lovely singing voice is most of the story is about him becoming infatuated with her and trying to get to meet her and what not. It's not so much a romance story. It's good, but long. About three or so hours, I think?"
"That sounds interesting." He said with a smile. "Maybe... Would you show it to me some time?"
"Oh yeah, I don't think I have a copy, but maybe the library would." At this point, they were on Shay's street. No one seemed to be around, where most of the children living here would have been playing at sunset, they were all inside now, safely tucked away in their warm beds. Shay slowed as they got to the walkway of the orphange.
Kenta looked at her, confusion mixing with excitement. "The 'nap shack' has movies?!" He asked excitedly. He never knew anything other than books were in the 'quiet house'. Suddenly, 'sleepy town' was interesting! He had already decided sleeping tonight, with all this fresh in his mind was a bad idea. Maybe he'd go hunt down a good movie. Sneaking into the 'book bank' couldn't be that hard, could it?
Shay rolled her eyes good-naturedly at his nickname for the library. "Yeah, they have a movie section. It's not as big as other renting places like Redbox or anything, but you get the movie for free so long as you have a library card, which aren't hard to get."
Again, Shay stopped at the door as she had last time and inspected it. "Thanks for the necklace, it was really sweet of you to get it for me." She tried hard not to let her face betray any emotion here. "And walking me home and taking me to the beach, and...buying the gloves." Her eyes flickered down to his hands.
