Inconceivable! [Tags: Leila/Cobalt/Yulia]

[Leila Gold]

Leila stuck her tongue out at Cobalt but didn't further comment. She was having too much fun watching the movie. She didn't want this to turn into a complete bicker-fest, because while it would be fun for her and Blue, she suspected that Yulia and Ben wouldn't enjoy it as much. At least, not if it continued for a while. Though they did seem to be happy enough for the moment.

When Cobalt screamed, though, Leila couldn't stop herself from laughing. In fact, she had to slap a hand over her mouth to keep from disrupting the whole group even further. She giggled into her hand, then grabbed a pillow and bit into it. Her boss's attempt to look cool and collected only made her laugh harder.

"Don't worry, we're past all the scary stuff now," she said once she'd managed to get her chortling under control. "But if it gets too bad, you can trust Ben to protect you." She knew taunting him was probably a bad idea, but she just couldn't help it.

Before she knew it, they were into the dream sequence of Buttercup's, with a scary old hag screaming. "Rubbish, filth, slime, muck. Boo, boo, boo!" And once the dream ended and the boy interrupted again, Leila cast another glance over at Ben and Cobalt on the couch. She could almost hear her partner's scathing comments even if he didn't say anything aloud.

[OOC: I've skipped ahead quite a bit in the movie to keep it going. If there's anything else you'd like to comment on that I've skipped over, feel free to slide it in. Also feel free to just keep right on going to a point you actually care to mention.]

Ben didn’t notice what had happened. Good. He was embarrassed enough as it is just having Leila making fun of him—and she was definitely making fun of him, as she burst out laughing in the middle of the movie—but Ben would have made it worse. Although he had just enough self-awareness to realize that it was probably very funny from the perspective of someone else. Just not enough to find it funny himself. “Yeah well.” He grumbled at Ben, not wanting to say anything else.

“Oh, are we? Thanks, I was worried.” Cobalt let the sarcasm drip from his voice as he made a face at Leila. He affixed Leila with a murderous glare at the mention of Ben protecting him. “You are so hilarious,” He growled dangerously. Hopefully Ben would remain oblivious to all this. The chances of this was good, considering Ben.

Cobalt rolled his eyes at the old hag’s diatribe and made a little noise of annoyance at the interruption, although he secretly agreed with the boy that if that had been the end of it, that would have been a complete let down.

Things continued on and got far more interesting. Cobalt was shocked to learn that Wesley had actually died and the “mostly dead” vs. “all dead” made him laugh a little bit. Rather, Miracle Max made him laugh a little bit. And people said he had no sense of humor. Finally, the heroes had reached the castle and Wesley had reached Buttercup.

Buttercup: I got married. I didn't want to. It all happened so fast.
Westley: Never happened.
Buttercup: What?
Westley: Never happened.
Buttercup: But it did. I was there. This old man said "man and wife".
Westley: Did you say "I do"?
Buttercup: Uh, no. We sort of skipped that part.
Westley: Then you're not married. If you didn't say it, you didn’t do it.

Cobalt lolled his head back onto the couch, exasperated. “I am so done with them…” He grumbled quietly, “That doesn’t even make sense.”

Westley: I'll explain. And I'll use small words so that you'll be sure to understand, you warthog-faced buffoon.

And Cobalt had to laugh at that. He could appreciate remarks like those. It was probably for the best that didn’t see this movie as a child. He might have decided that he ought to use lines like those in daily life. And probably would have gotten in trouble.

[Benjamin Rhodes]

If Ben hadn't noticed anything earlier, Leila and Cobalt's argument had his attention now and it was making him painfully aware of how close he was getting to Cobalt on the couch. Leila's words had him raise an eyebrow and soon enough he was straightening up on his side of the couch and giving Leila a forced grin.

The movie soon got him hooked once more as the ending was nearing. Cobalt's exasperation was met with Ben's chuckle and soon the last kiss for the movie came and went. The exchange between grandfather and grandson before the fading to black made Ben smile.

He turned to Yulia and gave her a smile. "Did you enjoy that?" He asked before turning to Leila. "Great choice. You have anything else?" He reached over to the table in front of him for a cup of soda. "Anyone need anything from the kitchen?" He grabbed his crutches off the floor to prepare to stand up.

[OOC: I think we can consider this closed? Everyone agreeable?]
