As far away from the creepy swamp creature sounded like a good location to him. He was a bit wary as he walked, though, feeling a bit paranoid he might trip and fall. 'Cause with his luck? Yeah, that was very, very likely. Last time he carried a friend's books he tripped on his own shoelaces and broke his nose. It wasn't a nice experience.
It was then, as they walked leaving the swamp behind, that Ava Jade spoke once more, asking if he could show her how Muggle movies worked. Braeden's feet came to a halt and he turned his gaze to the girl at his side with his eyebrows up in his hairline. He hadn't seen this coming at all… but he loved it! How often was it that the boy found anyone who was even remotely interested in movies?! Even his fellow muggleborns weren't as interested!
"Are you kidding?" said the boy with a breathless, disbelieving chuckle. He didn't have to if he didn't want to!? In what kind of warped alternate universe would he ever not want to show a nice girl how movies worked when she was showing interest? "What do you say we watch one?" asked the boy. "I won't spoil it, promise. Except 'til it's over," he said with a soft chuckle. He couldn't go and explain to her all the special effects and stunts while the movie was playing, she'd get annoyed. Anyone would, really.
At her mention of Muggle movies, Braeden seemed immediately interested. She grinned at his enthusiasm, and when he suggested they watch one Ava Jade nodded. "That'd be great! I'd love that." Wow, he genuinely wanted to show her a movie! She couldn't believe he would be so eager to patiently introduce her to something that was obviously pretty commonplace in the Muggle world, but clearly he didn't mind. The concept of the Muggle form of entertainment was so foreign to her that she suddenly thought of this as some sort of new undertaking: watching a movie.
WOW. She wondered if Muggles got this excited when they watched them...
"How would you spoil it?" she asked curiously, her eyebrows knitting together. Did Muggle movies contain secrets? Or maybe each one had a deep meaning that one could only discover by viewing them, and he merely didn't want to give it away at the start. Though wizards and witches often poked fun at Muggles for being ignorant, since they overlooked the world of magic, perhaps they were instead much more intellectual. They didn't believe in magic "nonsense," so maybe they were practical, deep-thinkers. She suddenly wondered if she would even be able to understand the Muggle movie...
