But fine, if you insists, RNG sez you get Bodyguard!Riley!

That's not crossing any lines of employer and employee, is it?

Crossing lines? Not that he's aware of, unless one makes a move on the other. He's just going to be in awe of his employer's impressive multimedia theatre setup, okay?

Oh, good. That's not on the agenda, so they should be fine! It is pretty cool, right? "Okay, so. Couldn't decide on a movie so I grabbed a few. Which one of these looks good to you?"

Oh, good. Yeah it's pretty cool! Waaaay better than the laptop screen he's got for movie watching at his flat! When she grabs his attention away from gawking at her setup, he smiles, "What, ye invite me over f'r a movie an' don't have anythin' in mind?" He laughs and squints at the DVD covers, trying to weigh the strengths and weaknesses of each film, and the benefits of watching them with an employer. "I'd almost say ye were tryin' tae pull somethin' on me!" He nods when he's decided which, "Er, tha' one." He points at a DVD, "'avenae seen it in a good while an' could use a laugh I s'pose."

"Well I hadn't thoroughly planned it out. I just thought of it." Does he not know yet that his employer is spontaneous about these things? "I've got snacks and drink too. Do you want to round that up, or set up the DVD? I could do both, but it'd take longer..." Plus, team effort!

She nods and wanders over to go set up the DVD (it's not hard, Mr. Riley, there are clearly labeled buttons!) and glances up when he asks her something. "Mmm? Oh, no, whatever you see first is fine."

He's aware, but sometimes it's best to let the one that knows their own entertainment system's setup do it. (There are always steps in between powering on and watching a film that do not involve those 'clearly labeled buttons'. Always. And if she has trouble with her own system, he might be able to help.)
Okay, so the kitchen. Erm. A quick survey of the refrigerator gets a couple bottles of what Riley considers a girly ale. Eh, they'll do, he smiles, amused. He finds a box of microwave popcorn on the counter, oh joy it's one of those near-flavorless plain varieties he can microwave and do whatever to. She really doesn't plan these things ahead. So, erm. Oh hey there's an herb box at the window over the sink. He'll just snip a few sprigs of rosemary and thyme and chop them up quickly while the popcorn gets popped! He manages to find a bowl aaand there's the popcorn slowing its popping! He stops the timer, pulls out the popcorn, opens it up and quickly ( ... )

She has better drinks! Just...not in this house, and she didn't think to bring him any. After all, it's movie night, not a drinking game. He still needs to be able to get back home afterward, right? If they're both off their chairs, how will he get back? It's still illegal for a DI to drive while sloshed, right?
While he's busy wrestling with the snacks (and herbs she got for a recipe one time she never bothered to make), she's setting up the DVD, skipping the trailers and spoiler-filled menu, and plopping down onto the sofa to wait. Which is...eh, about the time he rrives!
"Dressed up...popcorn?"

It's all good, it's not changing his assessment of her, she's a girly girl, it's alright! He's not judging! And that is true, he doesn't want to get caught on a pisser by one of the PC Plods he works with. And is it really all that bad if he ends up camping out unconscious on her sofa? Although he'd really rather make it home sober and in one piece.
Perfect timing! He skirts around to the front of the sofa then holds out the bowl for her, "'S a little savory herb flavor, no' quite as overwhelmed wi' artificial butter flavor like movie popcorn, go a'ead, try et!" He's sitting down whether she grabs it or not, "Ef ye don' like et I could make another bag 'f the plain stuff." The alcohol goes on the coffee table so he can open them up then he leans back on the sofa to settle in and hand Rose her drink when she's ready.

It sounds a little like judging! It's not all that bad if he feels like camping out on her sofa for the night, she won't mind at all. She's just not planning for that! Thus, no hard liquors for a movie night. It makes sense, yes?
She squints at it, mildly puzzled, but does indeed grab a kernel or two to test it while he sits. "No, I don't think that'll be necessary." She offers him a friendly smile then, and reaches for her drink. "Settled and ready?"
