Vera herself would have called anyone who even suggested this as a possibility off their rocker. There was no way at 11 she would have assumed she and Logan could have been cordial towards each other. She especially would not have guessed she’d ever want to be in proximity with him. And yet she certainly found enough excuses to do so now - this event being one of those. They probably should have brought along Sia and Vasco too, the crew, but she hadn’t suggested it and she’d been a bit pleased when he hadn’t either.

While she never would have admitted to liking Logan’s company, even back then, it’s true she had enjoyed it as well. When they were both separated from Vasco, it was nice still having him to explore with and get into mischief together on the times they couldn’t find and include their Ravenclaw in common. And she clearly had enjoyed being around him enough that everyone seemed to notice too, considering the amount of rumors and questions she’d gotten from second year on. For a brief moment, she wondered if anyone had ever asked HIM about them too and what his answers would have been. “I didn’t mind bratty you, even though I thought I did. But i think I like nice you better. You’re far more complimentary.” She replied, a small giggle accompanying her words.

She watched the screen as well, but also busied herself with getting properly comfy so she could enjoy the movie when it started to get good. Which did include pulling the blanket over her legs and resting her hands on top of it, and also pulling her popcorn and the box of sweets she’d made closer as well, opening it up and situating it so it was easy for him to reach too if he wanted. She nodded at his question, her eyes still on the screen. “Yeah, like the plays with all the really old timey sounding monologues.” She tried to search her mind for examples, her eyes closing for a second to help her focus. “Like… Hamlet, or Macbeth or Romeo and Juliet.” She was pretty sure they’d briefly talked about at least one at some point in drama.

While the front of the box had looked amusing, she was entirely unimpressed with the characters so far. Though Vera would settle on horrified over restless. How could the mother leave the dog out in the cold? And what was this girl’s deal with the poor baby? “Why isn’t she picking him up? I don’t have a ton of experience with babies but I feel like she should be picking him up.” The girl’s brother was crying and she was … yelling at him? Vera would not be handing this ‘Sarah’ any sibling awards, that was for sure. And then as the girl started monologuing herself, talking about some goblin king or… whatever, the screen suddenly shifted into showing weird creatures with bulging eyes and she shifted back into her seat in surprise. “What were those?” Listen, she knew there were puppets in the movie. But she didn’t know they’d look like… that.
