[ It's hard to believe sometimes that Rethe is a Malice King -- it helps, he supposes, that he's seen him in action, though more on the few walks they've had rather than in combat.
It's not even that the psychopomp looks young, it's mostly that in moments like this -- he acts it. And it's disarming.
Josh smiles then, unplugs his earbuds from the tablet and sets it aside for a moment. ] How're you?
[ Cue sheepish, utterly harmless smile before he waves idly at the paused screen. ] Was just going through an old favorite.

[ Rethe might be smiling, but it's kind of cute and funny how much he's giving off the faintest resemblance to a cornered rabbit.]
Sometimes, [ have a harmless smile and shrug of shoulders ] not as much as I used to? But this thing might change that.
[ He pats the tablet lightly with his fingers, and then looks back, canting his head in question: ] And you?

[ He pats the tablet lightly with his fingers, and then looks back, canting his head in question: ] And you?
Yeah, when I'm not too busy. I really like movies, actually.
[And he can't help but show that he's kind of really enthusiastic about it? Rethe has always viewed his love for it as a kind of addiction, and a guilty pleasure. Who would have thought, right?]

[ Seriously? ]
Rethe, [ have an encouraging smile ] you said we're friends, right? [ His fingers are playing with the screen of his tablet at this point. ] But I realized I don't know that much about you other than you can do amazing things where it concerns sending off and dealing with ghosts, have pretty amazing taste in music and the talent to spin, old-school style, and now... that you love movies.
[ A smile again, small, coaxing. ] I might be speaking out of turn but... you don't have to feel shy about talking to me about stuff like this.
[ A beat, and then: ] I want to know.

[Stahp, you're embarrassing him. ;A;
Looking away for a bit, and kind of wishing that his cheeks weren't heating up. When he finally musters up the courage to turn back in Josh's direction though, he's smiling a little.]
Okay. Well... I have copies of all of my favorites. I could give them all to you, if you like.

[ He just watches Rethe for a bit, notes the expression that flits across his companion's features before he looks away and turns back.
One would think he wasn't used to making friends befor--
--hm. ]
That's be really awesome. [ A pause, ] If you're okay with doing that...?

Mm, I am. I don't really get to talk movies with a lot of people.
[Riley is an Old World Gentleman, Rilea and Calintz have their own world, Liandrin is... Liandrin, Jessie claims that he's often too busy for 'that sort of shit', Lorenzo always falls asleep within 5-10 minutes of any showing, Alistair is Uninterested, Orin is kind of really out of the question while he's still an open secret on the estate grounds, and...]
Hikaru's usually the one that I get to watch stuff with, but it's been pretty hectic for us lately.

[A little confused now. Uh.]
We eat together? I also drop by in the mornings while he's out on the yard, and he comes around to watch me when I have sets at Haven.
[There is also... well, sex... but okay no Rethe is aware of how totally TMI that might be.]

[ This is the face of someone who is running the following thought through his brain: But... aren't you guys married? ]
Well, yeah. But... you have your meals at the Great Hall-- [ well, most of the time, as far as Josh has seen anyway ] and you're not exactly hanging out together when you spin.
[ The image of the two Malice Kings chilling out in the yard is cute though, but again, its not much of an activity done together as opposed to being in the same place. It's not that it doesn't count but-- ]
You should watch a movie with him sometime. Maybe, you can both pick a film each and then watch both together?

[ It's the couldn't.in that phrase that makes Josh frown.
Quietly, he asks: ] Why not?
[ It's technically none of his business -- but Rethe is a friend, and it's just a little strange to hear him talk as if a movie with his husband is something he isn't allowed to ask for. ]
Doesn't he like movies?

[ Josh finds it hard to believe that rocking the boat would make Aidan unhappy ( he's seen the way the guy lools at Rethe; it's a little hard to mistake that kind of affection for much else ) -- but that's just him.
He leans back into his seat and smiles. ] He's really lucky to have you.
[ He remembers their first walk, the way Rethe's gaze had turned thoughtful as he'd touched his wedding ring. ]

I think that most of the time, it's the other way around. Thank you, though, for saying that. It's... it's nice to hear.
[Now suddenly unsure of what to do next. (Talk like this always throws him off.) Standing up~]
Anyway, I won't disturb you any more than I have. See you?
