The theater is a great place to go when you want to leave the world behind for one of fantasy and adventure. Maybe even a little romance. The trio currently walking down the street seem to think this way, at least, the sole female of the group holding an umbrella over the one who seems the youngest.
"So," the lone adult-looking one of them starts up, "what kind of movie are you guys interested in?"

"Oh... uh..." The silver-eyed teen boy awkwardly shifted his gaze between his two companions, his smile meek and embarrassed. Disquietude had never seen a movie before. He knew nothing about any of the films the movie theater was showing. "I-It doesn't matter to me! You guys can pick!"
He looked up at the umbrella Sky was holding for him. Truth be told, he wasn't sure if it was completely necessary to shield his current human form from the sunlight, but at the very least, he was much more comfortable this way.
He then looked at Adrien, his grin turning slightly dopey.

The pony-eared girl taps her chin as she looks at the building they're approaching. "...why do they have a double feature? What is a double feature?"
"Dunno." Adrien scratches his cheek awkwardly. "I don't know what those movies are about. But if this 'Terminator' was good enough to have a sequel, maybe we shold go see them."

Terminator? That was an... odd name for a movie, let alone two of them. It sort of rubbed Disquietude the wrong way. Not so much because of what the films could potentially be about, but because... the word "terminate" made him think of the Præt'nos, and that just got him worrying all over again.
But... if Adrien was interested, who was he to say no? "S-Sounds good!"

"Great!" The tallest of them glances at the cost for matinee. "Huh. So... five dollars each... five left for food?" He scratches his chin thoughtfully. "...maybe we can make it work?"
"I eat light, anyways." Sky holds up a carrot with her free hand. "This would be enough for me."
"...wow, way to fight stereotypes."
She looks at him in confusion. "What stereotypes?"
"Nothing. Let's go get tickets." He takes Disquietude by the hand and pulls him and, by extension, Sky, over to the ticket booth. "Three for the double feature."

"W-Well... like I said, I don't need any snacks if it'll save us mon- EEE!!!" Involuntarily, Disquietude's shy grin grew into an ecstatic, toothy smile the moment Adrien took his hand. That was unexpected.
"Three for the Terminator double," the young man sitting at the box office repeated. "Fifteen dollars!"
Upon receiving the twenty dollar bill, he cashed it in, printed out the tickets, and handed them and a five back to the trio. "There you are! Enjoy the show!"
"You too!" Disquietude absent-mindedly responded. "I-I mean-! Uh... Yeah! Thanks!"
If he had any blood, he'd be blushing intensely.

Adrien takes the tickets and, turning to his friend, smiles warmly yet with a hint of concern. "Are you sure you don't want anything? Not even a soda?"
Sky, meanwhile, fiddles with the umbrella, glancing at the boy's free hand. How she wished she could act on a whim like that man, gently taking his hand with her own. She quietly sighs, closing her eyes as she imagines it.

"N-No, that's okay," Disquietude shyly insisted. "I don't have to eat anyway, so... no point in wasting money on me, right?"
He curiously looked around the grand hall as they made their way towards the snack bar, particularly taking note of the posters for upcoming films. "This is an... interesting place. Definitely smells interesting... Ooh, what's that?" he mused, pointing towards a poster advertising a limited-time rerelease of Alien.

Sky glances over her shoulder, then jumps, eyes wide. "No! Hell no!" She crosses her arms in an x over her chest. "That movie is horrifying! So many people die!"
Adrien turns to her, an eyebrow raised. "Wow, you... really don't like that sort of thing?"
She shivers a bit. "...only in certain circumstances..."

"Oh?" Disquietude tilted his head, confused but curious. Based on the poster alone, he wasn't sure what was supposed to be so scary about this movie. It was just an egg in a dark room. He was pretty sure that was the first thing he saw when he was born. Furthermore, he wasn't exactly sure what an alien was.
Come to think of it... he wasn't sure what dying was either.
He looked back as Adrien and Sky reached the front of the snack line, patiently waiting for them with a calm smile and his hands in his pockets.

As Adrien orders his food, Sky takes a step back, looking at the boy beside her. "So... you've got silver eyes..." She grimaces a bit, then tries to hastily work off that. "I have a friend who has eyes like that! She's really great. She helped stop a red-haired man who was wrecking everything!"

"...I do?" Disquietude touched his cheek, genuinely confused by Sky's remark, the rest of her ramblings flying right over his head. "I thought they were white..."
To be fair, the Præt'nos hadn't actually seen what he looked like since assuming his human form.

The girl blinks, then looks at him in confusion. "But... wouldn't that make them nearly invisible, since your sclera's also white?" She points to her own blue eyes to give an example. "I think your pupil would be one of the only things visible."

"What's a sclera? What's a pupil?" Disquietude ran a hand through his hair, baffled by how many working parts his current body was apparently supposed to have. A brain, a heart, weird eyes, wherever food was supposed to go... "Human anatomy is confusing."

"Oh, I'd be more than happy to teach you all ab-" She stops mid-sentence, looking at him in confusion. "...'human anatomy'? Are you a candle guy, too?"
