You don't believe it, Let me demonstrate

The shopping mart, a small mom and pop grocer that was lucky enough to survive in a neighborhood that only got minimal water damage, was quiet. Not in the sense that there weren't many people there, but that it was just... quiet. No music was playing over the intercom, customers shuffled along in a hush and even the checkers seemed to have caught the bug, murmuring as they scanned items.

This made Enteinne more that a little nervous. It felt like the place was just waiting for something. And considering that he had a good five pounds of soon to be shoplifted food tucked inside his coat, his paranoia probably wasn't too far misplaced. He stood a few feet from his sister, hands tucked in his pockets and keeping his head low so hair would obscure his eyes. No need to set a random, fellow customer into a panic at the sight of them. Alisa had a basket and was, as always, his foil. They'd buy a small amount on the up and up while he pocketed the rest.

Not that they couldn't afford to buy it all, but a good sixteen years on the street bred habits that were hard to break. He titled his head and nodded at a brightly colored box of cereal, "Let's get de one wit' honey dis' time. I like de honey." He was pretty sure the box said 'honey' on it.

He really wanted to go see this movie. As she walked inside, carrying groceries, Alisa gave off a small sigh and smiled back at Enteinne. She started to put the cereal away in a cupboard as she spoke to him.

"Alright... we'll go. Jus'... can we sit by de exit sign, away from everyone? Please?" She continued to smile, looking back at him as he was putting things away in the fridge. "You seem excited about dis movie. Any special reason why?"

"But petite," he whined, helping with the stuff that need to be put in the fridge, "de best view is in de center o' de theater..."

He knew he wasn't going to get to sit where he wanted if they actually went, but that didn't keep him from trying to coerce his sister into giving in.

"Its de first all animated by hand movie Disney done in what? Ten years? I like Disney drawings. All de fairy tales and de princesses and de glorifyin' o' theives and vagabonds. It makes me feel good about our lot in life."

"Well... ah suppose you right, about everyt'ing." She always gave in when he acted so cute and whined. Not only that, he had sacrificed so much in his young life for her, it was only right to let him have his way. "Okay, we sit in de middle, an' we go see it. It'll be fun..."

She bit her bottom lip, turning back to the cupboard and fixing the boxes around in a way so that Enteinne could tell what each box was for. Part of her wanted to say no, she was scared of dark places, or crowed places... but he really wanted this. How could she deny him when he gave her so much already. Perhaps it would not be as bad as she thought... perhaps he was right and fun was to be had.

"Ah don' know what comin' over maht o act like dis... ah'm sorry, Ennie. We'll 'ave so much fun tonight, we be talkin' about it for days, ah promise!"

His grin widened and he came up behind her to give her a hug, "You gonna like dis. I know it."

The weren't going to sit in the middle, despite what she said. And he knew it. If they sat there, she'd be too scared to enjoy the show. But it was nice of her to agree.
