Indeed, as Daniel settles, Armand collects up his phone, and the screen glows with its idle graphics as he fishes around for the file.
Once the movie begins to play, he shifts backwards to settle as well. A nearness that has become familiar, but far from ordinary. He shifts his knee and there, a little point of contact, and on the screen, a cartoon construction working hippopotamus pisses off the side of a building, and the stream of bright yellow consolidates into the title screen. Good and wonderful.
He does have a habit of watching things with giant eyes and very little outward reaction, at least for the most part—but here and there, a smile, a breath of amusement, which may be even more satisfying to witness when it's evoked by something particularly stupid or vulgar, of which this movie has plenty to offer.
Leans in. All vampires have at least a little bit of weird cat energy, and this inching into the edges of affection is how Armand's manifests in the moment.
