The male nodded. "Yeah, Flick. Movie. Another word for it." It sort of amused the male to have to define words that were used so commonly to everyone and their brother. He knew it had to be because she was an elder, but something about helping her understand things, even if they were seemingly trivial made the male feel good about himself. Even a little helpful.
Finally, there was silence between the two and it felt weird. Maybe because she was so easy to talk to, or he had more questions about her. About the movie and the similarities to history. Enver had to admit, he didn't know much about the real story of Guy, but his interest had been piqued because of Keara. He shifted in the chair in hopes of letting his curious nature die down, but after taking a sip of the pop next to him, he had his mind made up. He was going to ask another question.
"Were you a very old vampire then? When this happened in London?" He didn't really know how old Keara was, now or then. He knew she was an elder, but all that really meant was she was alive before the "Holocaust." It wasn't that he disbelieved that happened, as the elder's stories more or less coincided with around the same time frame with some of their deaths (the few who had spoken about it with him or the public), but the guy still had his doubts on some things. He wouldn't express those doubts now, or any time soon, but he did wonder her age and what made one an elder. Had she been alive for months, years or centuries before this happened? Or had she not yet been a vampire at all? She, of all the elders he knew about seemed the most forthcoming and hoped she would shed just a little more light in on that topic.

Re: : About the other night :
He'd been the one to tell her that people were not supposed to talk during a movie and yet he seemed quite content to talk. She didn't mind though. The movie did take a bit of effort to follow on her part but she didn't want to be rude and let his question go unanswered. People didn't tend to ask her questions about her life before the holocaust and in some ways she liked that as she could almost forget everything she'd lost in that time. His question however wasn't very intrusive and didn't require a lot of thought or memory to reply to and so she briefly tuned her attention to him.
"Old I was not. No. A fledgling perhaps then I was. Term applied upon a longer scale then was perhaps, as powers more difficult were then to acquire. My skill set new was then and training I was still daily. That much remember I do. Likely older I was than you are now."
She didn't mean anything by it but most of the vampires in the city were only as old as the Elders return from the Shadow Realm, meaning that a great deal of their kind were no older than say two and a half years. So it was a logical assumption for her to make that he would perhaps have been younger than her, at that point in her life. Age wasn't something she really thought about if she were honest, once one stopped ageing, time really didn't seem to matter so much. Unlike so many others of her kind, she didn't assume that a vampires worth was wrapped up in the number of years they had walked the earth. A fledgling newly turned could be a valuable source of information and hold a better perspective than a stubborn elder that might be set in their ways. As such, she judged people by their words and deeds, it was a far more reliable system in the long run. Of course she'd always treated her elders with respect but then that was just good breeding perhaps, as she tried to treat everyone with respect until they proved themselves unworthy of it.

Re: : About the other night :
Enver listened to her and nodded his head. He wasn't old as a vampire by any means, so he wasn't offended at all. River was older than him (obviously) and Melody younger than him (obviously), so Enver figured he was sired not too long in to River's vampire life based on what he sort of vaguely knew on the timeline of things. "Huh." He said, not knowing powers weren't that easy to get as they were now. Or maybe they were just as easy, but the wraith guides were harder to find. Traveled around more or something, as Enver doubted vampires stayed in just one area, like most did here. He wouldn't ask about that, not yet, being the two of them were in the middle of a movie and weren't supposed to be talking. And the fact, he didn't want to come across as someone who was constantly trying to get in to Keara's business. From what Enver knew, shadows liked to keep to themselves and keep their secrets.
"Sorry." Enver said, realizing that he'd talked more then watched the movie, which wasn't fair on her being she hadn't seen it before, even if he had a few handful of times. The male went quiet again for a couple of minutes, then looked back over at her. "It's just sort of interesting. Not many elders talk about themselves, or give the younger lot of us the time of night." The male grinned over at her, showing his appreciation before he slinked back down in his seat and polished off the rest of his soda.

Re: : About the other night :
The film captured her attention once more but not so much that she wasn't aware of what he was saying when he began talking yet again. "Answer I do most questions asked of me. New trait in me that is. Able I was not so honest to be in my former life. Like I do that hide here I do not from our kind." She briefly glanced over at him, the sickly sweet smell of the syrup laden drink still an idle curiosity to her and if she wasn't one hundred percent certain that her body would reject it before it even travelled half way down her throat, she may have asked to try some.
As the film finished, she sat up in her seat, a little more used to being in the centre of the room, even if she were a little more on her guard what with having done so. "Like to thank you I would. Experienced this without you I would not have. Different the ending was, to story that I knew. Parliament still standing was after Fawkes captured was. His plan succeeded not. V more luck had. Even if the cause him too his life did cost."
She had indeed enjoyed the film, even if the brightness of the large screen made her squint a few times. The location Enver had chosen to sit in was also quite satisfactory and did allow for them to see the picture in its best light. The sound quality too was amazing and the whole experience was far more pleasurable than she'd imagined. The company too had been nice, even if the nature of the evening did mean spending a lot of time silently sitting side by side.

Re: : About the other night :
Enver grinned over at her after she seemed to stop talking. To make sure, Enver waited a few seconds longer than what was normal, but he didn't want to be rude. "No need to thank me. I would have put something on and watched it anyways." Enver nodded his head slowly, sure it wouldn't have been that movie, but it would have been one of his handful of favorites.
Enver looked around the theatre, then at Keara before he stood. "I've got some questions about some things. Maybe for another night?" He had taken up a good portion of his evening, he felt and she might have had someone or a few things to do and wasn't going to postpone any engagements Keara had. Plus, this would sort of ensure that he'd see her again some other time. Two birds with one stone.
"Can I walk you home? Or to the train station at least?" He was sure she could manage the task by herself, but chivalry wasn't dead to Enver and he wanted to make sure his 'date' was taken care of, so that they would see each other again. "Or maybe your number? Then I could text you to make sure you got back alright." A happy medium if Keara preferred to find her own way home without his company.

Re: : About the other night :
When he stood up, she stood too. She had no real plan for the evening but she didn't say that, as she was convinced she'd taken up enough of his time already. They'd met in the catacombs and that was exactly where she was heading back to. She had energy enough to take a turn around the tunnels before she'd need to rest again and she was definitely going to be back in the spot they had met come sunrise, as that was where she'd cast the gate earlier in the evening.
"Walk me home you need not," she replied confidently as she ran her hands over her trousers, first straightening out the front and then the back. "If wish I do there to go no company would I require, as be there I would without issue." She was referring to the fact that she could tome home but she didn't elaborate as her mind was on the dark, dank subterranean tunnels she loved so much. "Hunting go I now," she rolled her shoulders back and then stretched her arms up into the air. Sitting in the seat had left her a little stiff, as she had adopted a position she rarely sat in when watching the film. Her hands clasped above her head she pushed higher and then let her arms fall back to her sides.
Not wanting to seem rude, or outstay her welcome, she made her way over to the exit. She pushed the door open and then turned back to face Enver; not that she knew if he had followed or not. When her eyes fell upon him she nodded politely and said; "Gate there is where found me you did earlier. If wish you do upon it to rest, perhaps see you there I shall." She wasn't exactly making plans to see him again, at least not in her mind, the way she saw it was that she was informing him that she had opened a gate in a public space.

Re: : About the other night :
He nodded his head when she rejected his proposal about walking her home. When she mentioned hunting, his brows raised, as wasn't that what she was doing more or less before they ended up here? Since it wasn't much his business, he didn't comment, only smiled. When she started to walk, Enver took off after her, only to make sure she got out of the theatre alright and eventually out of the building.
Her turning around was unexpected and so he stopped and waited to see what she was going to do, or say. Maybe she changed her mind and wanted to watch another flick. Instead, she offered a proposal of her own. Of sorts. Enver looked around as he thought on it, rubbed at his jaw and then shrugged casually. "Yeah. Maybe. I've got some things to do here first." Enver looked around the main area of the building, to where there was the concession stand and the few people gathering around waiting for others.
"If not, maybe I'll see you around another night." He offered, still thinking over the piece of information she had shared with him as he took a step out of the theatre they were just in and out in the main area. "Or, if you're in the area some night." Enver started out as he reached in to his suit coat pocket and pulled out one of his recently made business cards he had won. "Just give me a call and I'll make sure to put in a movie you'll enjoy. Just as much as this one." He headed to the door of the main area and held it open for her. "Take care of yourself, Keara." He knew they'd meet up again, Enver just wasn't sure how or when, but the time with her had been enjoyable and easily passed and so, seeing her again was something he wouldn't mind.

Re: : About the other night :
Keara nodded. She wasn't by any means offended by the fact that he might not be joining her later, as she was more than happy to spend the remainder of the night alone. When the cad was offered, she took it from him, careful not to let their fingers touch and then looked the small piece of card over.
"Found I can be nightly in the catacombs," she put the card into a concealed pocket and nodded. "Well...unless something distracts me does. But rarely do I the catacombs not see from one day to the next. And...sorry but no such card have I for you in return. Message you later I shall, then have my number you shall. Though no phone have I these days. Use Skype I do. Thank you for your kindness Enver. Hope I do that our paths again soon shall cross."
With that said she nodded once more and made her way out of the theatre and back towards the mausoleum so that she could continue with the night she had planned, and when she felt her energy waning she'd return to the location of the gate and rest. She'd had a pleasant evening thus far and while a part of her hoped that he might be able to pull himself away from his work later, as she was beginning to enjoy his company, she wasn't going to allow the fact that he might not be able to ruin her evening.
