[ Zaveid is absolutely having the time of his life. Mikleo isn't scared, of course he is, but - he's laughing too loudly for any kind of words to come out and make sense, his hands crossed over his stomach as he creases over. He doesn't even have the control over his limbs to get up and check in on the cinema screen; he's just laughing. ]

Meebo, you just -- you killed the thing -- Mikleo--!!

[ Please, don't murder him like you did the movie. ]

[Mikleo is getting redder and angrier every second that passes where he's still laughing.]

Stop that! You were surprised too, weren't you!? It looked like a hellion!

Sure, but it's not real!

[ He's still snickering, reaching out to nudge Mikleo gently. ]

C'mon, it was kinda funny.

It wasn't that funny.

[HUFF. He's not as fond of property destruction as you might think.]

It was pretty damn funny.

[ But, hey, look, he's getting up to help clean!! ]

[Ugh... Mikleo doesn't move right away, watching him go, his expression reluctant. He doesn't want to go anywhere near that stupid machine, thank you very much.]

Fine, laugh at my misfortune. Do people seriously enjoy that sort of thing? Being-- startled out of their wits?

Guess so. It must be kinda similar to the thrill of fighting, right? That's pretty damn scary.

[ It's fine, Dad's got this. ]

I prefer the romance myself...

Of course you do.

[And it's probably a terrible movie, too.]

At least that's unlikely to have monsters jump out at your face.

I dunno, there's some pretty scary looking people out there...

[ But he's joking, and actually?? Cleaning?? ]

Now you know to give them a miss.

[wow, that's a shock. Zaveid's being so... responsible.

....

hhhhhhhhhuff okay fine, Mikleo steps over to go help, hands lifting to call the ice back and melt it away from the screen remains.]

I think I'm just ill-suited for this kind of entertainment. Give me a good book any day...

[ Good man!! See, Dad can be a good person sometimes. ]

You ever read any scary books?

Sure, I've read a few. Any time Sorey was reading a trashy romance novel I had to keep myself entertained with something else.

... How many of them did he read?

Far too many.

[okay, okay, give a real answer, don't be salty.]

It's more like he had a choice few and read them over and over and over... we had a limited supply of books in Elysia, since it wasn't that big. Even then I'm sure he had at least a dozen of them.

Yeah, I saw the place. Pretty small, huh?

[ He hums, thoughtful. ]

Does he get a lot of books here?

Oh, sure. Have you seen the bookshelves in our room? We've filled most of them already, the collection is actually starting to bleed out into the den.
