As he noticed John smiling a lot, he decided to return the favour. This is what humans do, right? Hug people and not worry about it all? Yeah, Eridan decided on it was just what humans do; though he still blushed slightly as it’s uncommon for people not in quadrants to do this sort of thing. “Hey.”

“Well, I was thinking we could do the shirts first and then watch something like.. A movie, maybe.” He didn’t sound too happy, or mad. Rather.. Eridan looked to be sort of neutral to all of this. “I’m sure one of us has a steady hand, maybe? We shouldn’t mess up too bad. Besides, these two will be for us right?” He looked away,  over to the general direction his respiteblock was in.

“I’m thinking that maybe we should just do whatever comes to mind. I mean, this is the 2nd time I’ve ever really had company over, so uh..” The troll looked back to the human, looking a little happier “I suppose we could just go along with whatever we think about without a schedule. Less stress, you know?”

John felt a little more at ease as Eridan smiled, sighing inwardly and allowing himself to lower to the floor like a normal person. He waved at the ‘hey’, listening as the troll continued.

Face lit up at the mention of movies, but once again tried to keep his eagerness in check. Right. Trolls weren’t as… upbeat as he was normally. It was weird, lately John had been feeling rather down, but hanging out with Eridan seemed like a hugelot of fun, and made him feel better. Movies though! “We should watch Ghostbusters,” he suggested in a quiet hum, fingers knitting themselves in front of him. “Or whatever you’d like! I always have a copy of GB on me though, just in case.”

Finger tapped his chin, and he eventually shrugged. “We could put a movie on and work on the shirts with it in the background? I like movies for background noise sometimes.” He leaned in then, wiggling his eyebrows a little. “And we can paint our nails and talk about boys.” Leaning back again, he giggled. “Unless you’re shyyy~yyyy.” Turning on the pranks so soon. At least he felt comfortable. He’d start small, and if well-received… well.
