He's only human, so yes, his eyes move to Holly with that splash, before just as quickly moving away. This is him, behaving. Hopefully.

And he was aiming more for impressing you than making you jealous - but well, we try, we fail.

As Holly's attention shifts back to Brixton Walsh, he moves to start packing up his things. There's no expectation that he's getting invited.

"Yeah, that makes sense. This one isn't going to try to be, though, if that helps? Like, different time period, they play with suddenly being on stage, then not, all sorts of kind of weird stuff."

You get an agreeable enough nod. Seems reasonable. "Not a fan of Lin Manuel Miranda?" The story, being bullied in high school, being dumped in trash cans - everything in his body language screams that was his high school experience, too.

"The... trash can dumping is the funny bit?" Please say that he's misunderstood.

When you look Leo's way, he is carefully packing up his things and pretending he isn't hearing the discussion of dinner. Making it easy to not invite him, if that's what you want.

Holding my hand out. i am voda

Yeah, it's a "her." And it's not the cop with the nice ass.

It's the Millitech Princess with the nice ass.

Anyway.

"That could be helpful. At least I'll only have the black ops psychopaths who want to use my genitals for a wind chime hunting me down."

Clearing his "official" bounties would thin the herd.

"I don't know. She's smart, she's got an engineering degree, and she went through some shit a while back that made her learn to take care of herself. She's one hell of a scrubber."

Hell even HE isn't sure he didn't buy that '63 Hilux legitimately after she got done with it.

"I trust her."

Enough that she occasionally sleeps in the garage and steals his shirts.

Don't faint, for a split second there maight be a fraction of a smile when he talks about her.

Or it could be that he's talking about killing a rat bastard.

No, no, the "I'm about to kill bad men" smile is different. You've seen it.

"I don't suppose Kurtz is living a quiet life in a nursing home with a colostomy bag up by Bear Lake?"

Holly, already pivoting to go get her other top from just off of the stage, answered back as you started an unfairly good rendition of that line from the song.

If it was anyone else singing that so well? Jealousy. She's already openly jealous of Brix and his musical talent, especially compared to the borderline-offensive inability of her own singing.

"Yeah exactly."

Her attention returned to Brixton Walsh, though… "So like what we wanna do? You hungry, babe?"

The subtext being, asking if you felt like inviting Leo out for food or something

Well, that open bottle and your resistance against giving it up splashes a good bit of it on the both of them and Holly just stares at you as her cami soaks through, like the premise of a bad romcom.

You deflate, and he deflates just a little bit more. Still, a smile, like that will cover it, a quiet laugh. "I missed my cue, you're right, my bad. Next time, promise. Or we'll find something else to learn the choreo from."

An exaggerated, "Owwwww" at the not even remotely painful punch, rubbing his arm like it hurt. "I am bad a padawan in meme-fu. Teach me your ways."

A bashful tilt of his lips, a little shrug. "It's one of my favourite things. I could make you a playlist, but it would be... long. Too long. Chicago is brilliant, though, and they even did a good job with the movie!"

Not even a beat's hesitation, before he's trying it out, his singing voice about on par with his acting - which is to say, excellent. In his genre, anyway. "The name on everybody's lips
Is gonna be Holly." A delighted little laugh. "That's awesome!"

Brixton Walsh -

In an attempt to bring you along, "there's a movie of it, shockingly good. Renee Zellwegger, Catherine Zita-Jones, Richard Gere - you two should watch it."

You rap, you're like, already most of your way to being able to perform most of Hamilton.

"It's, uh, not for everybody. You might be surprised, though, there are rock musicals, pop musicals, rap musicals... musical theatre contains a surprising number of other genres."

looks around thinking the night is likely empty

Thank You sweetie giving You a deep nasty kiss

You start to talk about the Memeing of a starkid musical, and brix nods along, but there was definitely no spark of recognition in his eyes.

You might has well have been talking about Quantum physics and multiple-dimensional travel. His nod stills as Holly begins to playfully assault you, reprimanding you on not making a bit of a musical theater ass of Brix.

"Thanks for not, er, Just gettin' into it."

His eyes slide from you to Holly, who has to battle to get the water from his hand, and he finally relents after a moment.

"I hearda Chicago, but like... I remember seein' commercials for it back in the day, when it came to Chicago and was on all them billboards n' shit. Never went to see it myself, S'pose I've been lackin' in my high-art knowledge."

Eyes travel back between Leo and Holly. His words falling into silence as he feels like his forte does not belong here.

Lin Manuel Miranda, he ain't.

Wow mona that was ugly sad to say my friend doesn’t understand
