[Well, she wasn't expecting him to play along with her whims. When in doubt, she only knew to be cheerful and make light of such terrible things when times weren't desperate.
Again, raising an eyebrow or two, it seems that there were a lot of things she had yet to know about her friend.]
Well, you aren't wrong. I could say the same for you, you certainly seem like you have the requirements to become the hero you wish to be.
[Or at least, she hoped that he thinks he does.]
But yes, that sounds wonderful! It'll give me a break from my duties anyway. You'll be surprised at how picky people are about how to be buried here!
[ There is a need he understands he has to fulfill, it is the reason he allows himself to be drawn in by her playful whims. As long as she is content, then that's fine with him, why should he be the cause of someone else's unhappiness?
Yet, her words marking some supposed aspiration of his, get no response. He doesn't wish to become a hero. To be good, he must do good. That in itself should be enough. ]
I'm not all that picky. Just keep my father and older brother's requests out of it and that will be enough for me.
[ There is a certain implication in that statement that he isn't going to give her the time to fully understand. He keeps on speaking. There is something more important to decide. ]
Then we're settled on the weekend? What about Saturday evening? Does that sound good to you? I'll pick out a few movies, if you have any requests let me know. Text me if you want. And yes, we're going to watch Dracula so no need to mention that.
Don't worry, I promise! As the saying goes here, cross my heart and hope I won't die! Or something like that.
[After all, as playful as she was, she knew she had a promise to keep. If he wishes to keep the rest of his family out, that was a request she will do! That said, she leaned forward from her seat before a grin appeared on her face.]
Then how about those Saw movies I heard so much about? Oh, how about Halloween? Those are some that are popular, no? Or at least I certainly hope you heard about them!
You know what never mind. I see what you're doing there.
[ That mirthful little smirk across her face is enough for him to understand she purposedly made that error. He fell right in. Well, that's his own fault but at least he caught on quick enough. It also helped to further lighten his mood, well, anything involving his family is complicated but he is assured he can trust her judgment. That leaves him at peace.
Now as for the films mentioned, he finds himself slowly shaking his head. This means that these would need to be added to the list of movies they would be watching. ]
I get it. Fine. We'll be watching those.
[ With that agreed upon, their movie night was set. ]
