"Pfft, they don't find it [i]that[/i] sexy, hm?  But that means they still find it... kinda sexy," He retorted teasingly.  However, when the request became serious, he had one more intake before finding a can to extinguish and dispose of it.  Once everything was fine, he quirked an eyebrow at her, "Gandalf is overrated?  Now, you can take away the ciggies, but don't ever talk about the White Wizard that way," His voice was 'seriously joking' tone.  He furrowed his brow when she suddenly seemed reluctant to join in on the fun of the pop-up party and he shook his head.  "Good, it just means we'll sleep better tonight; get home tired, go to work tomorrow!"

Now he was the one taking her hand and pulling her along.  Parties weren't his thing, but ruining them was even [i]less[/i] his M.O.  "Yeah, movies have never been good to us..." He mused, grinning, "But they [i]always[/i] sparked discussion."  Even now, he could recall multiple times where they'd started discussing a movie and even if they agreed on something, they wound up using 'outside voices' in their over-excitement.  The cinemas' managers didn't so much enjoy having two of the next voices for [i]Mystery Science Theater[/i] on the premises, apparently.

The fluctuating techno beat reminded James of the time he spent as an Underclassman.  At the time, he used nothing but the new waves of electronic sound and mixing to focus on his studies.  Once the workload became too intense, however, it just made his head hurt.  "Now, you know I don't dance, but we can still have a good time," he said, hoping she found his enthusiasm as sufficient.  Of course, as in the past, she could really make him do anything she wanted him to as long as she asked nicely.  "First stop, though, is for actual food.  I believe I was promised Korean..?"

Once the food was situated, they'd find a place to sit down and eat amongst the rest of the party, where they'd have a good view of the dance "pit" and, hopefully, anybody who looked a fool for lack of dance ability.  People watching was always an excellent pass-time, no matter how old you got, James decided.
