"Bar has good taste," Yamato says, stepping inside and looking just about everywhere that isn't directly at Quentin.

"Yeah, she does. It looks like there are some DVDs if you wanted to pick something,"

Distractions are good as Quentin ends up looking at Yamato's neck.

"I will, er, do that," Yamato says, and starts looking through the DVDs. "Cheesy science fiction film sound alright to you? It looks like it's some weird universe's answer to Star Wars."

"That should be fun and hopefully nothing too familiar," He comes over to look over Yamato's shoulder.

"I guess we'll find out," Yamato says. "It'll be -- interesting, at least. Probably."

"She's yet to recommend anything that isn't," And he can smell Yamato's hair which is nice and Quentin backs up ons his heels.

"She's got a solid eye for movies, I'll give her that," Yamato says wryly. He crouches to slot the DVD in, then settles on one side of the sofa.

Quentin settles next to him, not right next but near, "And an amazing collection."

"The advantages of having access to an infinite number of universes with movie libraries, I guess," Yamato says. "An infinite number of good movies to watch. Also an infinite amount of terrible ones, and honestly we seem to get a lot of the terrible ones."

"Maybe she thinks we appreciate them,"

The movie starts up with a dramatic shot of some kind of space station exploding, the effects are good.

"I appreciate them," Yamato says, folding one leg beneath himself.

"How do you feel about horror movies? May is always making me watch them from really good to so bad they're good to just plain bad."

"I'm not against them. They've never really scared me, though."

"Most of them don't for me and they're kind of useful. I've learned survival techniques."

"Yeah? Like 'don't go into the basement of the creepy mansion while bragging about how the legend of the Mansion Slasher is totally just a myth' kind of survival skills?"

"Never leave the group for any reason,"

So far this movie seems to be about politics and aliens.

It involves a lot of people standing around discussing galactic politics, it's true. Must be a prequel trilogy.

"Never go investigate strange noises in your underwear."

"That's so stupid. I've heard strange noises, I want a sword to deal with them. I don't think Toby's done that. Sometimes it seems like she's trying to cross off tropes, but the awful ones. Oh wait, I think that's an assassination attempt,"

There's a dramatic moment as some high tech weapon and person appears, then a chase scene.

The choice to have the chase scene take place on flying sky dolphins is an interesting one. Artistically. Probably.

"To be fair, most of us don't have swords. We have to settle for baseball bats."

"Those can work. They're pretty but probably bite."

"And yet, in horror films they always seem ineffective. It's sharp objects all the way in those," Yamato says.

"Blood changes everything," He's seen it save and hurt Toby too often and leans against the sofa, a little closer to Yamato.

Yamato manages to shuffle a few inches closer to Quentin without giving any impression that he notices that he's doing so.

(He does. He is acutely aware of their positions relative to each other.)

Wry: "There's an ominous horror movie tagline if I ever heard one."

"Oberon's beard, it does, its not my fault. Things just go wrong a lot. I like the costumes,"

There's suddenly a ball thing and the outfits would be appropriate for Fae.

"Well, if there's ever a Milliways Slasher, at least I know to stick with you if I want to survive," Yamato teases.
