When Aulus put his arm over her human, Odette's crest raised a bit more and her feathers puffed out slightly in a display of mild agitation. She side-stepped a foot or two and clacked her beak warningly once again, but since she didn't lunge at him or shred his face with her talons, it indicated that his actions were at least vaguely, partially acceptable. But just barely. Her owner hadn't been sleeping much lately and Odette wasn't sure why - she didn't connect the distinct lack of the other male human Lucas with her own human's attitude lately - but it seemed like she was quite comfortable and obviously asleep now, so.. it wouldn't be good to wake her up unless it was absolutely necessary.
When the arm slid over to rest across her back, a sleepy smile slowly formed on the black-haired woman's face, and one arm shifted to secure itself a bit better around her pillow Aulus.

At least she hadn't attacked him; the big bird looked mildly agitated at worst. Yawning, Aulus watched the final scene in the movie play its course; what a pile of unrealistic crap that had been. Now, how was he going to turn the TV off? The same way he'd put the movie on sounded easiest, so long as he could get the message across to Zeus without waking Claire up; the pikachu did seem bright. To get the electric type's attention, Aulus nudged the bar of chocolate slightly with his foot. He then raised a finger to his lips, pointed to the television, to Zeus himself, and then to the chocolate. Keep quiet and turn off the TV, he hoped to communicate, and you can have it. Maybe letting him have that much was a bad idea but, once again, not really his problem.
Tortie had just about dozed off when the movement of the chocolate bar caught her eye. Why was her human pushing chocolate around with his feet? As she looked up at the couch, her bemusement quickly turned to anger. Why did her human have his arm around the other human? He was her human! Hu! Well fine then. Giving Aulus a look which said very clearly how unimpressed she was with his behaviour, the Absol got to her paws and turned to stalk out of the rec room. Maybe she'd go hunting in the desert, or perhaps she'd go and terrorise some people around the base. Either way, she wasn't going to hang around where she wasn't wanted!
As Tortie shoved open the door and vanished from view, Aulus sighed slightly to himself; looked like he was going to have a bit of placating to do tomorrow. Lovely.

While Zeus was, in general, more intelligent than the bird nearby, he still wasn't able to read minds. Aulus wanted him to be quiet, obviously, something about the fun box, and then chocolate. He had to do something to the fun box and he would get chocolate. But what? Frowning and flicking his ears, completely ignoring the Absol as she stalked out, he focused green eyes on the TV. The movie was over, so.. did the scarred man want to watch it again? He hadn't seemed too pleased when it came on though, so.. That probably wasn't it. Hmm.. Did he want it to stop making noise and pictures? His human didn't like noise or anything like that when she was asleep, so that was probably it.
After quite a bit of deliberation, the chubby Pikachu bounded over to the TV, fumbled with the buttons on the front for a moment - managing to make a menu appear as well as raise and subsequently lower the volume; he had no idea which button did what because he couldn't read the labels - before he managed to turn the box off. With that accomplished, he gleefully jumped onto the coffee table and pointed eagerly to the bar of chocolate. Was that what the human wanted him to do? Could he have the chocolate now?! Claire was still sound asleep and using Aulus for a pillow, so neither the man she was using for a pillow nor the volume on the TV bothered her in the slightest.

Aulus watched the pikachu try to problem solve with quiet amusement, and then unreasonable pride when the electric type got it right; what was he doing being proud of other people's pokemon? Still, no matter, wasn't a big deal. As Zeus gestured frantically towards the chocolate Aulus smiled slightly and nodded, raising his finger to his lips again and nudged the bar of chocolate towards the mouse pokemon.
Payment delivered for services rendered, Aulus closed his eyes and tried to relax. It was a lot easier than he'd expected it to be. He supposed he was just really tired; it had been a rough day after all. Maybe it also had something to do with being close to another human being. Only maybe though.

At his okay, Zeus gleefully and greedily grabbed the bar of chocolate, shoved it between his teeth and bounded off to hide behind one of the comfortable chairs scattering the rec room. The quiet sound of a crinkling chocolate wrapper floated up from behind the piece of furniture as the chocolate-obsessed pokemon began devouring his treat. Aulus was definitely his new favorite person.
In response to her pillow's the scarred man's relaxation, a small, contented sigh escaped the sleeping woman as she shifted her head a bit more comfortably on his chest, her arms moving slightly to remain firmly wrapped around him; the subtle movements quite possibly could nudge the man's opinion from 'maybe' to 'probably.'

...Yea, okay, he admitted it; this was nice. It was just for tonight though, he couldn't imagine the same situation coming around again, so he supposed he might as well make the most of it. Giving Claire a very gentle squeeze, the scarred man allowed himself to imagine that they were some happy couple living a perfect happily ever after in a far and distant kingdom. He supposed that was why stupid movies like that were so popular. Everyone wanted to believe the fairytale. Even though you knew life wasn't like that, sometimes you just wanted to give in and pretend it was. Everyone needed to dream once in a while.

Odette clacked her beak a bit and settled into a comfortable position on the floor. Not that she would sleep tonight, of course, but since she had a feeling they'd be here for quite a while, it would be better to just.. get comfortable. It appeared the roles would switch, with Odette not getting any sleep tonight and Claire catching up on the sleep she'd missed out on over the past couple of nights. Oh well.
