Disquietude was silent for a moment, blinking vacantly at Sky. His eyes briefly flicked towards Adrien, as if mentally praying that he returned soon to save him from this conversation, then he looked at Sky again. "...What's a candle?"

"...huh." She tilts her head at him, eyes filled with interest. "I guess there's a lot to teach you, huh?" She smiles, taking a step closer and placing a hand on his shoulder. "Like I was saying, I'd be happy to teach you anything you'd like to know."

"Uhhh...!" Disquietude tensed up and stared wide-eyed at Sky's hand. What was she doing? Why was she touching him??
"Well, uh..." He slowly took a step back, wrenching his arm free and staring at the ground. "I, um... Th-Thank you, but... I-I already... have..."

"Even if you do have one friend, there's nothing wrong with having another, right?" She gives him a sheepish smile. "I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable... I'm not exactly used to conversations and stuff..." She turns to the side as Adrien walks back to them, holding up a soda and some popcorn. "...sorry..."

"N-No, no, that's not what I meant!" Disquietude hastily insisted, hoping he hadn't hurt her feelings. "I-I was just saying that I'm training under- Oh, A-A-Adrien, hey!"
He noticed the bag of yellow, puffy-looking stuff Adrien was carrying, tilting his head with curiosity. Food sure did come in a lot of strange varieties. "That looks interesting..."

"You can try some, if you'd like." The man pops a few into his mouth, chewing a bit as he offers it to the disguised demon. "Though I am curious about what you were talking about. Setting up a date to learn about life together?"

"Oh, uh... thank you," Disquietude mused as he tentatively plucked a piece of popcorn from the bag, studying its funny shape before biting into it.
He went rigid when Adrien asked about him and Sky, awkwardly and noisily swallowing the popcorn before anxiously stammering, "W-? Date?! I, uh... We just- I d- She was... asking- And I- N-No I d- Asdf bleh..."

Seeing this reaction and Sky's blush, the blonde quickly backtracks. "Sorry, I meant like a study date, you know? Just something friendly."

"Uhh..." Disquietude's eyes shifted away, teeth gritting with embarrassment. "I-I don't really know what was going on there..."
Everything about this situation was just making him nervous by that point. It was bad enough that he had been clumsily tripping over himself ever since he met Adrien, but now he was just baffled by how many light-dwellers were trying to help him. He wasn't sure he could manage that, especially from this girl whose interest in him was making him feel trapped in a corner.

It seems that Sky feels that way, too, trying to avoid eye contact.
Adrien sighs, shaking his head and nodding towards the ticket taker. "Well, we should probably start heading over. I think it starts in a few minutes."

"Oh... Yeah, okay," Disquietude mumbled, trying his best to smile as he followed Adrien down the hall. As he walked, he bashfully cast Sky an apologetic grin over his shoulder, then faced forward again and asked, "So... do you do this often? See movies, I mean...?"

"Honestly? No." He turns and looks at him and the girl now beside him, grinning brightly. "But that just makes it all the more special, right?"
The girl just nods, ears folded back against her head. "Yeah, I guess so." She sighs, looking at the ticket taker now standing before them.

"Mm-hmm," Disquietude hummed as they were directed to the first theater on the left. "I guess... this should be fun."
Upon entering the theater, Disquietude looked around in wonder at the dark, spacious room. An overwhelming number of tiered seats with a multitude of widely varying light-dwellers occupying them, an enormous screen flashing with images of some sort of upcoming action movie, thunderous noises erupting from the surround sound speakers... it was all rather intimidating to the demon.

The two quickly place their hands on his shoulder, giving him a warm smile. "Don't worry, nothing in here can hurt you."

"Eheheh... I-I know... It's just..." Disquietude nervously smiled up at Adrien, twiddling his fingers and whispering, "Lot of people in here..."
Knowing what had taken place in the city not long ago between the citizens and the fire army, he couldn't help but wonder if anyone there would catch onto what he was.
Well... aside from the bright, glaring screen in front, at least the room was comfortably dark. This couldn't be TOO bad, right?
