... I know what a movie is, [ he admits after a moment, though he's not watched one. the opportunity was really only in the imperial capitol, and he hasn't done that, though he's watched keno dancing, so he's seen at least something, in that sense. plays were hard, too, given how his health was as a kid, and how he'd been holed up on another mountain the last five years.
but jean is trying to help, and so he relents, since the guy did shift tactics to explain. ]
Right, it is like that... a very bright, loud, crowded future. Have you ever been somewhere this crowded?
[ Somehow, he's downed one of his last two skewers. Holding up his final one, he licks his lips. ]
I've been to some pretty crowded cities. Nothing like this though. It's pretty futuristic.
[ But, JJ adjusts easily to shifts in settings. He traveled a lot, so he just has to take this latest hop as another trip somewhere. He decided he's not going to let himself freak out about it, especially after hearing that it may not effect his home at all. ]
So...this place is kind of like...what I see in movies, then. It's a little unreal.
[ He makes a noise of agreement, then huffs out a sigh. ]
Yeah, it could. At least the people are pretty friendly, and the weird stuff isn't harmful.
[ He holds up their joined hands, giving JJ's a squeeze. He's now finished off all his skewers... alas, for he loved them well. ]
Mind if we just wait this out here?
[ He asks, eyes falling back to their hands. He feels like just... slowing down for a while after eating anyway, and might come close to drifting off, having not slept the last two days, but it just seems... nicer than running around aimlessly when joined like this.
He has no idea how people on dates manage. Probably by not having to hold hands the whole time. Choice is important! Like the choice to let go and scratch your own nose, or take hold of things with two hands, or something! ]
[ He relaxes there, tilting to look towards Shino and shrugs, polishing off the last bit of his food. He took his time, having a little less and pacing himself, but he feels full. He feels comfortable and relaxed. ]
Sure, that sounds good.
[ His eyes fall on their hands. Well, at least they're getting Chroma, right? ]

[ The reply comes fast. ]
No, it's still weird. But it feels like...a movie. Like film or -- well, a play, I guess?
[ He doesn't know and he keeps trying to go back further, but he doesn't know what Shino knows so he hopes at least this seems to work. ]
It's like a story someone created set in the future. It feels like I've jumped into something like that.

It could be worse!
okay with wrapping this up?
Yeah, it could. At least the people are pretty friendly, and the weird stuff isn't harmful.
