Card games, yeah.... [Let's see, what card games does he know of?...]

How many people will be there? [At least five, he knows of... .. do the Subway brothers have parents? ...They weren't around for Ingo's hospital stay, so probably not, huh.]

[infinitegrin]

[Ah hah, that's a whole different can of worms, Hilbert...]

Let's see... Ingo and I, you, Elesa, Silver, and Hilda! So that's six people.

[50shadesofnpc]

Ah. Hilda? [Well, hey. That's news.]

[infinitegrin]

Yes! Silver invited her, actually.

[50shadesofnpc]

[Huh. Interesting. Not sure if that makes his invitation make more or less sense. Is it a friend thing?? Or are Silver and Hilda....

Try not to show your confusion, Hilbert.]

Okay. Six people then. Well, there are always the basic card games, I guess.... [go fish... you know.] I'm pretty sure there are more complicated ones for six people out there, though.

[infinitegrin]

I'll find something, no worries! I heard there was a really funny game called Fluxx, or another one called Cards Against Humanity. As long as everyone smiles, it will be a successful day!

[50shadesofnpc]

Cards Against Humanity.... [oh god, he's heard of that. Sounded like something Hilda would find hilarious.]

I think I'd feel bad about smiling at that one. [But he's grinning a little anyway......]

[infinitegrin]

It's all for fun! You shouldn't feel bad about smiling. You have a handsome smile!

[50shadesofnpc]

[... ...Ah.]

...Thanks.

[oops hiding by finishing his pastrami

hilbert you gotta stop using food to divert your attention you did this last time too]

[infinitegrin]

[It's cool, Emmet can finish his, too! No go away Galvantula stop begging for food it's bad manners.

Emmet excuses himself briefly to check up on Ingo, who's probably passed out from heavy pain medicine still, before he comes back.]

Well! Is there anything you'd like to do, Hilbert?

[50shadesofnpc]

[Hilbert will collect the plates and bring them over to the sink while Emmet goes and checks on Ingo. Still asleep? Ah.]

Well... I came to help out, so I guess the question is if there's anything you need done.

[infinitegrin]

There's nothing, really! We could just spend time together, if that's okay.

[50shadesofnpc]

[...Is this what elesa had been... implying? ???]

Yeah, that's fine, then. If you're sure.

[BUT WHAT DO. oh hey, hi Joltik. That's his shoulder. Welcome.]

[infinitegrin]

[Seems to be!]

I've got a few simple card games, or we could watch a movie! I've got a lot of movies. I'm a fan of Brycen's films!

[50shadesofnpc]

--That's right, Brycen was an actor... [Yeah, he remembers hearing that.] So they're good?

[infinitegrin]

Yes! The ones where he's a secret agent are the best!

[50shadesofnpc]

Wanna watch one of those, then? [Don't spoil the end for him, though...!]

[infinitegrin]

Yes! I'll get it, right now! Go on, sit!

[He'll open up a cabinet and pull out one of the DVDs from the shelf. License To Battle: The Day Never Dies!]

[50shadesofnpc]

Okay, okay. [Yeah okay, whatever you say. Sitting!! Are you sure you don't need help?]

[infinitegrin]

[He has brief trouble opening the DVD case, but AH HAH he got it. He'll pop it in, and go into the kitchen to make popcorn while the trailers play and HAH he's back, bowl of popcorn in hand.]

Ready? I'm ready!

[50shadesofnpc]

Totally.

[Oh boy, here they go... you're gonna sit next to him, right Emmet? And he'll hold the popcorn bowl, since he has two hands.]

[infinitegrin]

[Yep! Right next to each other, since, whoops. It's a tiny couch, and Emmet and Ingo never bothered with personal space when it came to each other. So Emmet is reaaaaally close, during this exciting thrill ride of an action flic!]

[50shadesofnpc]

[Hilbert would probably give more thought to the couch is he wasn't so drawn in by the movie. Sure, Emmet's right there, but-- Wow, Brycen!! He never thought he'd see so much emotion from that guy. This is so intense!

Excuse him if he accidentally reaches for popcorn at the same time as you, Emmet. Oops, that's a hand. His bad.]

[infinitegrin]

[Ah--whoops! Nope, that's okay. He'll just take his popcorn and munch on it, sorry about the hand touch!

But... boy. Sitting here with Hilbert was really relaxing, Emmet realized. He was sitting here, and he felt... happy. In a way that he felt only with Ingo, before, and with Hilbert... it was still a little different.

Eventually, Emmet sort of realizes... yeah...

He leans his cheek on the top of Hilbert's head. Hopefully that's not too weird.]

[50shadesofnpc]

[Aah. That's-- oh, it's just Emmet.

...

Well....

Elesa, now he's really confused and at the same time enlightened. So she meant this. Maybe? How did she even know? And Silver was always going on about how Emmet liked him... ... ... Okay. So that's one thing solved. Solved? Cleared up? Huh. Solved the ambiguity, maybe... but this could still be merely an Emmet gesture of platonic affection. Emmet's kind of like that, maybe.

And... he hasn't even stopped to sort out his own feelings.... well... that's harder. Though he should figure it out soon, since his reaction to this...head-leaning thing might mean stuff. Does he like Emmet? Elesa seemed to think so. He has no idea with Silver... but-- he should ask himself.

What do feelings feel like? This kind of thing hasn't happened before... but he feels pretty comfortable. Maybe a little embarrassed-- he's been that a lot, recently. That's... pretty normal, isn't it? For liking someone.

...Maybe he can give it a try.

Okay, Emmet. Headleaning accepted. Hilbert will settle into it, unfazed.]
