Ah, well, we're part of the welcoming committee. It's quite big after all. [ He laughs. ]

It's surprisingly fulfilling, isn't it? Having a hand in making something delicious that everyone can enjoy, it's one of the reasons I love to cook at least. [ Making people happy with his food...it's nice and fulfilling in a way but he also enjoyed doing it too. ]

[fleurdesel]

Seeing Rems get so happy about them certainly did. I never really- nothing I made ever tasted as it should, really. So. It's new, this. Pride. But, thank you, really. I never would have managed them on my own. [Another bright, open smile, entirely unreserved.]

[folklorist]

It's a nice feeling to see evoked from something you did. [ He waves her off as if it's not an issue. ]

It's no trouble, really. I'm glad to have helped.

[fleurdesel]

I am honestly starting to believe you when you say I will not be so helpless in the kitchen in the future. Perhaps I can learn enough to make dinner for you in...three, four months?

[folklorist]

Good! There's no reason why you shouldn't start to believe in your skills. And I would like that, I look forward to it even. [ A nice dinner between the three of them, sounds lovely, remind him a bit of what he, Ginia, Frederic and Poland used to do. A pause as he thinks and then chuckles shaking his head. ]

We have a bit of a bad track record when it comes to dinners but, well, I certainly hope we can enjoy it together. The three of us or maybe four, depending.

[ It's be nice but really all their planned dinners usually got ruined one way or the other. ]/small>

...have I yet apologized for the double date? I think I have, but in case I have not, I am terribly sorry for. That whole...thing. It was a very poor attempt at something resembling normalcy and the very last time I try to apply anything my sisters told me about dating to my life ever, ever again.

[folklorist]

It's fine Adele. We weren't exactly ourselves last week. And, well, it-it could have gone worse. A bit awkward but, ah, it-it was still interesting. [ A small smile. ]

Wanting normalcy isn't something to apologize over at any rate. [ Sure it was a bit awkward but it's not as if anything too bad happened, right? ]

[fleurdesel]

Well. That attempt went...poorly. But! This is normal enough, is it not? The movie marathon with friends, snacks, beverages, soft cushions, etc. [She grins, relaxing more now that she was confident Helios wasn't leaving for awhile, at least.]

...even if I'm watching them with a wizard, a beast, ninja turtles, Two Jedi, a fictional thief's grandson...I need to stop thinking about that. Normal night, normal...ish. Friends. For Luceti. [Shaking her head, she laughs.]

[folklorist]

[ He'll take a seat...awkwardly, tentatively too. It was quite strange being in another person's apartment that you didn't know very well. ] It's certainly normal. Then again I...haven't seen a movie or-or watched television in a very long time. It's, ah, different! Than what I would normally do on a week night. But Luceti does open a person up to less than...normal occurrences.

[ He waves his hand in an all encompassing gesture. ] Just have to get used to it I suppose. As for the company of tonight you might be the first to say that you have had a movie night with said people. I bet some here would be rather jealous. [ A small chuckle as he leans back getting a bit more comfortable. ]

[fleurdesel]

Then we are even footing. I simply never had the time before, Remy would have to kidnap me at the end of my shifts at the hospital to see me to any kind of entertainment. [A soft laugh and she pats the sofa next to Helios' shoulder, rather than his shoulder proper.]

I suppose I could. I know my ex-husband would be terribly jealous for one. And. Strange as it is, it is not so strange at all. I am among friends, yes? What is more normal than that? [One last quick smile and she's weaving her way back to her seat, curling up in her blankets as she has before...at least as soon as she steals it back from Gambit.]

[folklorist]

Remy, hm? He seems like quite the friend. Given your profession a bit of-of entertainment can go a long way can't it? It's nice to sit back and relax once in awhile. [ Says the man who always overworks himself. ]

Nothing at all. Enjoying the company of ones friends and the like is about as normal as you can get. It's...nice, all of this. I-I never got to do such things much, back home. [ Not having any friends would make such things hard, yes. ]

Thank you for, ah, in-inviting me. Despite my obvious lack of knowledge in these things.

[fleurdesel]

You are my friend as well Helios, I had to invite you. I am sorry I was not more clear in my invitation before, I thought I had made it clear when you helped me with the delicious beignets. [Blanket stolen back she tucks it around her and offers Helios a soft, sincere smile.]

I am glad you chose to stay. I think you might like the movies, they are quite fantastical, even with the futuristic aspects.

[folklorist]

Oh it's no hard feelings, Adele! [ A smile back at her. ]

It'll be...interesting, yes? These ah movies I've...heard about them from my students. And they always sounded intriguing I just never knew where to start. Too far behind and there's quite a lot out isn't there?

[fleurdesel]

It is a little better to be behind. That way others might tell you if the movies to be seen are worth seeing or not.

[folklorist]

I suppose you're right. But movies nowadays are something of a cultural and social norm aren't they? People go to see them to connect with others. I-I never really thought of it before. [ But now that he is... ]

But, ah, I-I should really take a look at more of them now that I think about it.

[fleurdesel]

We've time enough to help you get through the classics, the cult classics, and whatever else is available in the village.

[folklorist]

Cult...classics? [ He sounds confused by that. Hm. ]

[fleurdesel]

You will see in time, if I can find them. [Innocent grin. The most innocent of innocent smiles that were ever smiled.]

[folklorist]

[ He might frown a little, that sounds rather ominous. ] Oh. But now you've piqued my interest. [ Hum. ] I have to admit watching one of these movies is quite exciting! I haven't done it in so long I don't even remember the last one I've ever seen.

[fleurdesel]

Consider it a surprise. You will know when I know what it is that you might know. [With that cryptic phrase and enigmatic little smile she sets in for the rest of the movies, more than a little pleased with herself.]
