"Sounds easy enough," Vance said to Jeff. "I think I'll try it."
Then Vance turned back to Dee as she spoke about nut butter. "Oh mine is peanut butter, hands down," he replied. "I'm addicted to it, ever since I was a child. It got so bad my late folks had to punish me a few times for raiding the peanut butter so much."
Then they started talking about conics again when Dee brought up the new Sonic movie. "I didn't but I want to!" he said. "It's the best-looking video game adaptation we've had in a LOOOOOOONG time. I'm pumped for it! You?"

Dee took another long sip of her coffee. The sweet hazelnut coated her throat as her eyes closed. The thoughts of a darker nature were pushed aside as she took a second sip. A wide smile filled her lips as her attention was on Vance and talking about her favorite topics. It was nice to meet another comic enuthist and nut consumer. It wasn't missed that he was an orphan as well. It seemed as if they had a fair amount in common.
"Peanut butter is amazing as it goes with just about everything. I can't think of one thing that I have had with it and disliked. Almond butter is another versatile nut butter too. I enjoy baked goods from both of them."
There was a bounce as Vance seemed just as excited by the new Sonic movie though for a different reason. She never really played video games as a kid or an adult. They never appealed to her as they seemed complicated and the stories never truly interested her. The previews for the Sonic movie looked to be amazing. She wanted to see what it was all about.
"Never played video games though I have seen a few play throughs. I read some of the comics which are fun. I can't wait to see what Jim Carrey does with Dr. Robotnik. I get the feeling that he might steal the whole movie. Have you seen any good movies lately?"

Vance's eyes went wide with a raised eyebrow upon hearing that she never played video games, thus never having experienced the full Sonic experience.
"Okay, okay..." he began, sighing. "I might have to meet up with you more often so I can properly introduce you to video games, like Sonic the Hedgehog. I've never tried Almond Butter before. Is it any different? I was around for most of the 80s and 90s movies, so my taste might be a little picky, but I do like those buddy cop movies, as well as martial arts, those high-speed action flicks, the ones involving master thieves and heists, and those detective and vigilante ones. And don't forget about the superhero flicks!"

Dee tilted her head as she heard him talk about showing her more video games as well as different movies from when he grew up. Her feet rocked to her heels as she took in a deep breath. It felt like a lot of information had been thrown at her all at once. Was this his way of trying to get to know her?
She shrugged her shoulders as she took another sip of her drink. It was probably the case. After all, despite everything she had witnessed, she felt that everyone had the best of intentions until proved otherwise. Vance was no exception to her rule.
"Might? Do you mean that we will have a planned get together if things go well today?" She paused for a moment as she glanced at Jeff. She wanted to see if there was any objection of the meet up. She turned her attention back as Vance mentioned Almond butter. A smile lit up her face as the talk was on a subjects she loved.
"It is the best!! It is a great alternative to peanut butter, though a little more earthy than peanuts. It goes great with honey and basically anything you use peanut butter for. I do enjoy some of the super hero movies of the 90s. I liked the high speed action movies as they tend to keep most of my attention. I definitely don't do the rom coms. I find most of those boring."

"Well, only if you have room for it today," Vance said. "Otherwise we can try for another day."
He was concerned at Dee's expression when he started going over his interests, especially considering he didn't have much else about himself to offer. He didn't care about having alot of money, being buff and beautiful, or having social status. Vance liked what he liked.
"Maybe I'll try Almond Butter someday..." he said. "But yeah, rom-coms are just too obvious and cringey. I prefer to see them have some connection when action or battle happens, when the blood is pumping the most, not when they stumble and do or say something stupid just for a laugh."

Dee nodded as she listened to him. A smile crept on to her face as she convinced him to try almond butter, even if it was sometime in the future. She would make sure it happened. After all, nuts were her thing. It was the squirrel in her.
"Well I hope that day is sometime soon." She sipped her drink as she settled into the conversation with Vance. It was nice that he had a similar view point with rom coms. She often found that she was an outsider with most girls as they enjoyed that sort of things. Her view point on life often didn't include romance. It probably came from not seeing that kind of thing outside her parents.
"I don't always like the obvious. I do like a good twist or two in the movies most of the time. I may not have the longest attention span with things. It's probably why I like comic books so much. Action packed and quick with the story. Are there good video games like that?"

"Well, from the sound of it," Vance thought about what Dee said. "I'm thinking action-platformers are more your things. The kind with a simple story and objective with plenty of space to play and move around in, plus some surprises if you look around enough. The Mario games seem to be the standard, but I think Sonic would be more speedy for you, especially since it rewards you on how fast you can beat a level. There are numerous ones to try, so just try them each out and see what sticks."

Dee titled her head a moment as Vance talked about action platforms. It could be something to look into with all of her bonus money. Her arms crossed over her chest as she was deep in thought. She didn’t know the first thing about putting a system like that together.
Her foot tapped on the ground as she glanced up at the man before her. “With me being such a noob with this, what would be the first for a beginner? Walnut you be wanting to help me set the new game system up? I am not always the best with electronics. I suppose I get that from Grumpy Uncle.”
She glanced at Jeff who was oddly silent. It was unlike him not to have an opinion. She shrugged her shoulders as she was making a new friend, or at least she thought so.
“Also no apologies about the nut pun. They are kind of my thing whenever I get the chance.” She gave him a sheepish smile.

It took a second for Vance to process the pun, a crack of a smile emerging on his face as he realized it.
"Well, if puns are silly, then I say let's both be nuts, 'cause I love cracking a joke every now and then," he said with a grin. "Also, I'd love to help break you into consoles and games. You may nut become an expert in one day, but soon, and for the rest of your life."
He waited for her reaction.
