"Oh, n-no problem..." Disquietude looked back at Adrien, then at Sky, then at Adrien again, offering the two of them a feeble attempt at a smile. "So, uh... What... What's the plan, Adrien?"

"We head into town and find something we can do as a group." He pats his friend on the shoulder. "Which do you think we should do first, Dis?"

"Oh. Well..." Disquietude's smile broadened with embarrassment as he looked down at the floor. "I-I don't know. I'm... not sure what exactly humans do for fun. I... I believe Beth said something about... movies?"

"Oh? Well, I think you'd like that." He grins, leaning close to whisper in his ear. "It's in a dark room with one source of light. Should work well for you, right?"
Sky tilts her head at this action, curious but not wanting to seem rude by leaning closer.

Disquietude perked up upon hearing this, chuckling softly and nodding in return. He wasn't sure what all to expect, but that little tidbit certainly sounded pleasant. Besides, if Adrien was into it, so was he. "Well then... let's do it."

"Great!" The pony-eared girl grins, then turns as she starts to head off, finally revealing the twin hooks on her back. "I don't know how much I can get with this... maybe we should stop to buy cheap drinks on the way?"
Adrien raises an eyebrow at the sight, but quickly stops her. "Shouldn't we wait for your coat, first?"
She blushes brightly, turning back around with a sheepish grin for them. "R-right. Sorry, was just... really excited. I heard Hellboy was out... wanted to see what it looked like."

Disquietude tilted his head at the sight of the hooks but opted to let it slide. "Well, don't worry about me. I don't have to eat anything."
He shrugged slightly, looking around the store. "But, uh... I guess I'm ready whenever you guys are."

"Like he said, I should probably wait for my coat." She awkwardly rubs the back of her neck as she glances where Beth had gone. "She said it wouldn't take long, right?"

"Right." Disquietude grinned at Sky, then at Adrien, his silver eyes shifting between the two as the atmosphere grew thick from the awkward silence. Eventually he broke it by pointing towards the other end of the store and hastily saying, "Well, I'll just be over there. Holler if you need me."
He quickly dashed over to a random aisle, where he promptly stood still and stared blankly at a shelf. It was pretty obvious he wasn't actually looking at anything. He was pretty frozen stiff, eyes trained on a nondescript section of wall.
Okay... so they had a little company, but regardless, he was going out with Adrien. Wait, what? HANGING OUT. They were just hanging out. Going to the movies, whatever those were. Simple stuff, right? He had to keep it together. Stay cool. Act natural. But what was he supposed to do? What could he say that wouldn't jeopardize their budding friendship or his position in the Air Army? This was such a delicate matter and he didn't want to ruin it either way.
Maybe... once he was completely certain Adrien was comfortable with him... maybe he could ask him if he...?
Oh, sweet Desire, maintaining this form was hard... Disquietude grabbed his head and took a deep breath, mortified by how tired he already was. If for no other reason, he had to keep a level head just to avoid blowing his cover.

Beth soon came out. "And all good," she offered as she held the jacket out to Sky. "I might have used a Dust infused fabric for the repair but it's for protective reasons. Can't lose a huntress in training can we?"

She smiles warmly in return, gently taking the clothes. "Thanks. It's always good to have another layer of protection. Don't you agree?" She turns to look at Adrien, but instead finds him holding an umbrella that he procured from the stand by the door. "...huh?"
He walks over and offers it to Dis, grinning cheerfully at him. "Ready to head out? It may take a bit to find a theater, so take this so you don't get a sunburn." He offers the item to him.

Jumping slightly, Disquietude looked at Adrien, then the umbrella. "Oh, um... Thank you." He slowly took the umbrella, pausing to examine it. What was he supposed to do with this?
Well, he'd figure it out later. For now, Disquietude turned around and nodded to the duo. "Yeah. Ready."

"Dis is photosensitive. And burns easy in the light, Miss," Beth offered. "Stay safe you three.

"We will!" Sky smiles and pats the handle of one of her weapons. "I'll make sure nothing happens to any of us." With that, the girl exits, followed by the aged-up boy after he gives Dis another reassuring smile.

Disquietude grinned and nodded back, then offered a wave to Beth. "Um... See you later, I guess."
With that, Disquietude followed his companions out of the store and into the mall, hugging the umbrella to his chest and shooting Adrien a giddy smile. He wasn't sure what to expect, but he was surprisingly excited for it.
He was certainly liking it already.
