thenearshore | And I've got my mind.

[ Of course, as the various previews play, William can't help but make quiet comments to himself about them. Most of which are criticisms. Apparently he's not going to become the movie going type. But once the actual film starts, he too hushes up. ]

[ The critique doesn't deter Grell; actually, she takes quite a bit of amusement from his comments, often matching them with sarcastic quips.

Of course, the horrific imagery is enough to lend her to silence - watching, wide-eyed, as she shovels some of that popcorn into her mouth. Ah, but she simply can't keep herself from becoming excited at the goriest bits - squealing under her breath, and giggling in delight at the jump scares! Gleefully, she grasps onto William's arm throughout, clinging tighter when overtaken with these emotions. ]

[ Despite being categorized as a horror flick, William finds no sense of fear coming over him by the imagery displayed. What worries him more is the amount of excitement that seems to be overtaking Grell. Perhaps they should have chosen a different film to see.

By the time the film's concluded, he nearly has to pry Grell off his arm from the amount she's latched on. Thank death she didn't go see this alone. At least he should be able to keep her under control after getting all riled up like this. ]

Wasn't that properly ridiculous, Will? Oh, how fun.

[ Now that they're out of the theatre, Grell twirls around with a hop! She isn't showing any signs of crazed aggression yet, at least. Rather, she seems to be in a pretty stellar mood! ]

Honestly, only you would react to a horror film in such a way.

[ So good, so far, though. He'd much rather deal with Grell in one of her overly dramatic, romantic moods than her blood crazed ones. ]

Do not let it get to your head.

[ Stepping backward to face him, Grell tucks her arms behind herself with a tilt of her head. ]

You didn't enjoy it? Weren't you at least impressed with the presentation?

It was well filmed. And the audio was decent. However, you are certainly better at wielding a chainsaw.

[ Grell's cheeks colour rose, a sparkle to her eye! ]

Have I recently mentioned how much I love you?

[ She stops to sling her arms about William's neck, humming in utter delight. ]

But, you're right, he was clumsy!

Yes. You've reminded me on numerous occasions.

[ He lets her cling for a moment before removing her arms, himself. ]

Which is even less impressive given who he was up against.

[ Seemingly unbothered by the removal, Grell settles at William's side, idly swinging her shopping bag as they walk. ]

Mn, and the foolish mistakes his victims made! [ A breathy chuckle. ] Although, that adds to the entertainment, I suppose.

I believe it was intended to make us feel sympathetic towards them. Yet, it seemed to be their own fault that they even got into such a situation.

[ Originally with the thought of ice cream in his head, the over abundance of snacks during the film seems to have pushed that idea from his mind. Instead, he glances down to the parcel Grell still had in hand. It was still early, but perhaps they should discuss this end to their day together before the time arrives. ]

Did you wish to spend tonight at my temple or your own?

[ Grell could've gone on gushing about the film, but this subject change is precisely the thing to distract her from anything about it. In fact, it simply tilts her further into a better mood, the color staying on her cheeks as her shoulders sway girlishly. ]

Oh, well...

[ On one hand, her temple is stocked with proper makeup remover and skincare - but, even better, William's got his temple entirely to himself, since Hannah's disappearance. ]

I wouldn't mind seeing your bedroom~♥

It isn't nearly as lavish as yours. However, I would prefer not to have to sleep in a robe again.

[ Not that he couldn't simply stop by his own temple for some sleep over supplies if they settled on Grell's instead. But he'd also been enjoying his own place far more without that demon slinking around. Perhaps that helped a bit in all this. ]

Darling, we could sleep in a hut, for all I care.

[ Grell so declares with a bat of her lashes! Which might be saying something, considering how particular she can be. ]

You've prepared me for the situation, so I think it to be a fair decision.

[ With a raise of that very bag, she indicates that she means the night wear purchase. Actually, she'd assumed that William was inviting her to his place all along. It's possible that the other reaper was formally inviting her as a matter of politeness, but she can't help but consider the possibility that he just wanted to see her in something cute...! ]

Fine then. However, we can stop at your temple first if you need to collect anything important.

[ He knows all too well how much care and effort Grell puts into her appearance. He can't imagine she wouldn't want all her beauty products with her to make herself look perfect for the evening. Even if William doesn't feel it's necessary. ]

Ah~? You really wouldn't mind?

[ The redhead sways to affectionately bump a shoulder against his! In truth, she wouldn't have expected him to be quite so accommodating, instead griping over how she shouldn't need to many things. Of course, he could be saving that for when they actually get there. ]

Honestly, I would much rather you have what you need than have to listen to you complain when you're without it.

[ The complaints on his end will come when he's ready to sleep and she's still curling her hair in the bathroom. ]

How sweet.

[ Both teasing, and partially genuine! Either way, William is thinking of her needs, and she'll take it!

Besides, she won't be curling her hair until the morning, fortunately for him. ]

[ The remainder of the day going fairly decently, the two arrive at Grell's temple. How they've managed to make it to this point without some petty bickering ending the night early is a feat in itself. But now William finds himself seated on the same chaise lounge that he took residence on when he'd played babysitter for Grell during the harvest moon. He looks at his watch, wondering just how much longer it was going to take her to gather up whatever it is she needs. Though the day was surprisingly enjoyable and relaxing, he's finding himself looking forward to sleep. ]

Are you nearly finished?

Edited 2018-03-01 10:15 (UTC)

[ It has been an eventful day, and Grell knows that she should be getting her beauty rest soon - and yet, she's just so excited. Tonight, she'll be sleeping in William's bed, and realistically, she knows very well that she would forgo an entire night of rest and get downright nasty for him... Not that she expects their evening to take that direction, alas. ]

Very nearly.

[ In addition to her skincare routine and hygiene essentials, she's packed herself a flat iron, hair ties, makeup for the following morning, a fresh set of clothing, and her new sleep wear! All of it was necessary, but certainly took a bit of time to gather. Now, all she has to do is figure out what she's done with her phone charger... ]

Now, you're certain that you wouldn't like anything while you wait?

[ With him sitting in her room, she's additionally prone to getting distracted - for, while she was checking the chairs, she's somehow found herself wandering up to William, instead, to place her hands upon his shoulders. ]

Chamomile tea? [ It's probably the only thing she can decently make, in existence. ]

If you would like me to fall asleep the moment we get to my temple.

[ Which might happen anyway, it was an eventful day. But, apparently he's ready to get a move on. Standing up and removing her hands from his shoulders he scoops up two of the bags that Grell has already set out as an indication that they should head out. ]

Find whatever it is you're looking for. We can have tea there if it suits us.

[ Parting her mouth to reply, she'll take a moment to backtrack on that thought - and such offers William the proper time successfully remove her. ]

Well, no, I wouldn't want that.

[ With a mildly amused roll of the eyes, she'll right his coat shoulders, bunched by the straps. ]

If you've an extra charger, there won't be any need. That was the final necessity.

[ And necessities they are, what are in those two bags. ]

You can use mine for the time being.

[ He readjusts one of the straps before glancing around to see if there was anything else. With all that's here already, it seems as though Grell's packed for a long weekend's stay. Not that he wouldn't put it past her to try and make that the goal anyway. ]

Is that all, then?

Mn, that will be all!

[ A grin will split across her face, as the lady slips her arms about William's waist. In doing so, she will take the liberty of teleporting them both to the entry of William's temple.

Immediately, she's stepping back to turn on her heel! ]

Come on, then!

[ With an excited little hop, she's headed off toward the master bedroom. It won't be the first that she's seen it.

During the time that William had gone comatose, she had been by rather regularly. It became necessary for her to physically see him, to know that he wasn't gone for good. While she was there, she took it upon herself to see that he was cared for, allowing some fresh air in the room and fussing at Hannah to assist her in changing the sheets, among other things. ]

[ Being that William was knocked out cold during that time, he is completely unaware that Grell had even been to his temple before the previous night. So when she automatically heads towards his bedroom, he has to pause behind her. ]

Sutcliffe. Where do you think you're headed?
