[Andy's basement apartment] Slumber Party
Andy actually cleans up her little basement apartment a bit for Han's visit. Shoes are tossed unceremoniously into a pile in the closet, clothes are thrown in the hamper, and vacuuming is done. She has a few bags of chips set out on her wobbling little coffee table and she folded her blanket and hung it over the back of her couch. She's also placed

"Yay! You actually came. I was afraid you might come to your senses and realize I have very silly ideas. It happens sometimes." She grins and ushers him in. "Enter freely, and of your own will."

He comes out several minutes later, looking a bit awkward. The pants are a bit big and ride rather low, exposing a scar that curls up over one hipbone. He's also not really pleased with his decision to wear a T-shirt; his arms are quite thin and scarred. He gives a wan grin and wanders over to the couch, flopping down. Maybe if he acts like nothing's there, she'll act like that too.

When Hannibal finally returns in his PJs, Andy giggles quietly. The awkward hang of the pants manages to be amusing and a bit attractive all at once. Her eyes linger on him a bit long, but that's mostly because she usually can't see his actual shape and how thin his limbs are and it's a nice change. The scars don't go unnoticed, but she won't ask yet. There's certainly no sign of revulsion whatsoever. She finds strange things attractive.
"So, I put DVD's in three piles. I've got stand-up, movies, and TV shows." The first pile has Dennis Leary's No Cure for Cancer, George Carlin's You Are All Diseased and Eddie Izzard's Dress to Kill. The movie pile has Pirates of the Caribbean, Labyrinth, Legend, The Princess Bride, Something Wicked This Way Comes, Time Bandits, The Transporter, Pitch Black and Snatch, as well as complete collections of Nightmare on Elm Street and ( ... )

He's pretty impressed by the collection of DVDs on the table, it's quite a bit more than the little stack that he and Muds have managed. He looks through them, really going more by the pictures on the the covers than the titles printed there. "Uhm...how about Robot Chicken? That's pretty good." He wouldn't mind watching anything that's there, really. But Robot Chicken is funny...and obviously designed specifically to suit his attention span.

Andy turns on the TV and a half-inch rainbow and static band goes across the top of the screen. The rest of the picture is ok, though. She puts the first DVD in the player and comes back to curl in her place on the couch. She takes the box of cookies and sets it on the couch between them as she begins checking out the selection. Anything without obvious fruit fillings or high amounts of almonds qualifies as good.

The TV makes him grin. It's nice to know that other people have shitty TVs, though the picture is still better on hers than the one at home.
The biscotti has almond slivers, but other than that, the cookies are clear of anything that would make them bad. Han doesn't really like biscotti, but he thought maybe she would. Mostly, though, they're just regular cookies: chocolate chip, peanut butter, oatmeal and iced sugar cookies. Han selects a chocolate chip and nibbles at it, watching the screen with his head tilted. ...He should've brought his blanket.

It was only a matter of time before the blanket was needed. She pulls the throw down from the back of the couch and unfolds it. It's mostly blue with stars, phases of the moon, and a large sun woven in orange and white. There are a few holes in each side and the fringe is missing sections, but it's still ok looking. She tries to stretch it to cover both of them, but when that fails, she carefully scoots over to rest against Han and pull the blanket over them. "I could get a bigger blanket, but I'd have to get up."

He grins and rests his head on her shoulder. "Wouldn't want that, you're already all settled." And getting up after being settled sucks. He snuggles down in the blanket and goes back to his cookie. This is pretty nice.

She watches the show and laughs a lot. Sometimes she buries her face against Han to muffle the loud, awkward sound of her laughter. She doesn't like the way it sounds, but there's not much that can be done.

There is something tremendously lazy and comfortable about just laying on the couch and watching the tv. The only thing keeping her more awake is the need to get up and change discs every hour or so. It's kind of fun hunting for the right position to lay on Han again once she's able to sit back down. "We only have to stay up as late as you want to." She smiles and turns a little to kiss Han on the cheek.
