Reunion;
[That meeting had been annoying, awkward, and left Nathan with a bitter taste in his mouth. The last time he'd joined the lot of them in battle, he'd nearly killed them all, himself included. Now they wanted him to join a concerted effort to assault one of their adversary's weapons depots.
It felt really weird calling them "adversaries", but that's what Natalia insisted on calling them, and who was he exactly to argue with a centuries-old vampire? He couldn't help but smile at that thought. Tony'd hate him for it. "Does that make me an exception, Nathaniel?" He could hear it already. The little meeting they'd had after the main one was boring, and he let Cairn do the majority of the talking.
He was actually finding himself a little exhausted from all the meeting he'd been doing. A year was a long time to be in seclusion and contemplative meditation with only one other person for company and he could already tell it was going to take some to to acclimate to being around people again. There was actually only one person he wanted to talk to at the moment. He hadn't seen her for over a year, and she looked so...different now. Not anything too noticeable, just subtle differences. She held her shoulders straighter, made eye contact. She was more confident, that was it, and it was hot.
Adorable, but hot. Like she'd always been, like he'd remembered her to be. Finally he was dismissed for the night to go back to the rooms they'd prepared for him, and he didn't waste any time getting out of there.
What he wasn't planning on was stumbling upon Luther the Egotistical Prick and Airy in the hall. She didn't look happy to be there and Nathan's eyes immediate narrowed.]
I'm not interrupting anything, am I? [His voice was even, controlled. He didn't like what he was seeing, but the past year had taught him that much at least. How to control his anger, at least to an extent.]
[Luther responds to his question, but doesn't even give Nathan the respect of turning to look at him when he does.] As a matter of fact you are.
[Nathan's tone darkens slightly.] I wasn't asking you.

He took his seat, still smiling.]
I'm looking forward to it. Is it Disney? [Because all the best animated movies were Disney, okay.]
no subject
Yeah, Pixar though. So think Toy Story but cuter. It's about what happens in our heads.
[She thinks about the irony for a moment before shaking her head and holding up the remote. Currently and for the rest of the movie the popcorn is in Airy's lap though she'll most likely pass it to Antonio when she's done eating.]
You two ready?

[Nathan smiled. Tony's nightlife was going to take some adjusting to again, but he missed the old guy.] Got it. Let's do this.

Good. [She turns her head and grins at Nathan before passing him the popcorn bowl. She'll take it back shortly but it takes two hands to fiddle with the remote. The movie begins with a warm happy narration and Airy begins to mouth along parts of it. She really likes this movie, relating to it in a strange way so she's read it a few times. As the movie begins each character is introduced: Joy, Sadness, Nervousness, Anger, and Disgust.
Occasionally through the movie Airy's gaze flicks back towards Nathan. She ends up letting him hold the popcorn, reaching over and taking little bites of buttered bliss. She also got paper towels to use as napkins about half way through the movie. As it continues Airy feels herself growing sleepier and sleepier. She's trying to remember the last time that she slept though it had been over 12 hours ago. It's what happens when you were used to staying up through the night and sleeping during the day. Instead she had stayed up all day to hang out with Nathan so as 7 pm moved to 8 and then 9 she felt her eyelids growing heavier and heavier.
Airy stops reaching for popcorn and lightly rests her head on Nathan's shoulder. At this point in the movie the main character has run away which means it's closer to the end. Airy fights to stay away however she feels sleep press against her eyes, her limbs slowly tingle and numb as they rest lifelessly on Nathan's leg. Her feet have swung over onto Antonio as if to lay down. Airy doesn't seem to notice that either of them are more than cushions.]
