[ Yeah, even Shoko has to admit he has the smooth driver rizz.
While he gets started on the popcorn, Shoko cracks a cold one open... It looks like they got in just in time for the movie to start, so here comes Finding Nemo! ]
Oh? Wow. I haven't seen this since I was a kid.
[ I'm choosing to believe Shoko, too, got to watch Finding Nemo as a millennial child ]
[ Sure, it's cute until those "funny sharks" come to eat them, probably... ]
Work keeps you busy, hm? [ That's...not surprising, given everything she told him before. ] So does mine. I rarely have time for hobbies these days. It's a shame.
She can't quite help but give a mirthless laugh; it's a blessing they're at a drive-through movie, or else the other moviegoers might throw popcorn at them for being so chatty. ]
[ Shooting here a sidelong look, as he takes a long, long sip of his beer. He could play dumb, but that's not really his style. Has he really made himself so obvious, though? ]
I've no doubt he'd have me plucking strings like a song bird before you can say "Sway to My Beat in Cosmos". [ ... ] That, or he'd get so excited about hearing me play that he'd forget to tell me any of the notes.
[ Either seems entirely possible. Knowingly: ]
Funny you should bring him up out of the blue, Miss Shoko.
Because I saw you dragging him away for some alone time that one night, and unless it was a quickie, I'd think that puts Nico-san well above the rest of us in terms of time spent.

Mm. Finding the fish Nemo. And about keeping on swimming, or something.

Immediately, he's holding out a hand to her. ]
I'm gonna need something to drink.

[ girl.... it hasn't even been five minutes. The first ten minutes of Up would kill this man.
She hands him his bottle of beer. ]
...It's a cute, fun movie for the most part, though. There are some funny sharks.
no subject
Do you watch a lot of films, Shoko?
[ He'll just. Make conversation while he recovers from his Trauma. ]
no subject
Anyway, Shoko reclines her seat a bit, reaching for some popcorn for herself. ]
Dunno know if it counts as a lot? I have them on sometimes. Haven't really been out to see one like this in a while, though...

Do people like us even have hobbies?
[ Or do they simply have coping mechanisms. ]
no subject
I'm not a professional gambler, believe it or not. Not in the literal sense, anyway. That's...probably about as close as I come to a hobby.
[ He's a gamer at heart. He had fun beating people's asses at Uno this week. ]
no subject
[ Look at them, a gambler and an alcoholic. ]
Maybe you should take up an instrument, so Nico-san can teach you.
[ Teasingly. ]

Was it really out of the blue...? I was just suggesting a new hobby for you.

Bullshit.

Oh, that? He needed a little pick-me-up after being laid low by garlic bread.

I'll just have to leave that up to your imagination ā along with the rest of whatever you think happened.
no subject
Hah! As if I'd imagine that. Just tell me this, what flavor did Nico-san give your blood?
