It had taken Kerrigan all of one look at the movie poster to comment, "Well, I can already tell this is going to be factually inaccurate." She pointed at Roy with her drink. "That's going to be fun."

He paused his marveling over the size of the popcorn cups to glance up at Kerrigan, frowning just a little. "I have no idea if you're being sarcastic or not."

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Neither do I," she snorted at him, glancing over her shoulder. "Get a small one. The big ones look like they'll suck your soul out through your stomach."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"But you get more with the big ones," he replied. More was good most of the times.

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Not all the time." Kerrigan drank some soda. Through the straw.

Then pulled out both the straw and the lid and threw them in the trash.

He still was getting the large cup, just because he had to try it and paid the clerk before turning to Kerrigan. "I'll test the soul thing, I'll let you know by the end of the night if you're right."

"Fighting words," she told him dryly, then walked towards the entrance to the theatre. "But hey, I'm easily amused."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"That's what matters isn't it?" Roy asked as he followed her inside the theatre, automatically moving up the steps towards the seats in the back. "Keeping one's date entertained."

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"I think it's in the bylaws," Kerrigan returned, pausing as she watched Roy go up. She thought about commenting, took a gulp of her drink, and shrugged it off, following.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"And I make it my utmost priority to follow any and all bylaws," he teased, moving towards the middle of the row to pick out the best seats. Shhhh, it was a good thing he wasn't going for the dark corner, really.

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, right," Kerrigan smirked at him. She didn't really remember the last time she'd even been in a movie theatre (had she, or did she just remember this from pictures and descriptions?) and gladly left it up to him.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

He nodded seriously as if he had no idea that she wasn't believing himself. "Especially ones that involve the female company being pleased," he added, putting his cup down in the empty seat so he had his hands free to take off his coat.

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"I'm not going to follow that innuendo with you, if that's what you're asking," she replied, smirking more. And raising both eyebrows in amusement.

Kerrigan sat down, coat and all. She could always take it off later if it got warm.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"What innuendo?" Roy asked innocently, trading his coat for the cup of popcorn before he sat down beside her.

She took another gulp of her soda. "Pig," Kerrigan told him seriously, flicking in the general direction of his hair.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Hey," he protested, sending her a not so serious glare. "I've been nothing but a gentleman tonight."

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Yet," she said, settling back in her chair with the cup, watching the credits start up.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Have you ever had complaints about me?" he wanted to know, settling the cup between them so she could grab some too.

Huh. He really shouldn't have been surprised that there was colour in the credits. "No news first?"

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"You have an uncontrollable thing for legs," she told him. Dryly, of course.

Then eyed the screen again. "Almost makes you homesick for military propaganda."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Legs are nice." He just had to add that before he could let her change the subject.

"Just a bit," he agreed. "We don't have televisions in Amestris so usually the theater is where you'd be able to actually see what is going on in the rest of the country."

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"A friend of mine's a reporter," she told him, taking some popcorn for herself. After some deliberation. "Michael Liberty. Most honest guy I know. The government has this nasty habit of taking his items and spinning them."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

It was actually the first time he'd heard her mention one of her friends and he glanced away from the screen and the spaceship for a second to look at her. "They seem to be good at that. What's the press like there?"

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Stuck in a mill of propaganda and Old Family conspiracies," Kerrigan said, keeping her eyes trained on the screen. "Mike got shipped off because he exposed something that lead way up into the upper echelons. They wanted him to be 'safe'."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Mmmmm," he knew that kind of safe only too well. "What exactly should I understand under shipped off?"

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"He got dumped with a military detail on a far-away colony," Kerrigan said, taking another handful of popcorn.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"He got forced to join up?" Roy asked, his attention only half on the movie but it did look kind of miserable.
