[ While Amber has always been of the mind that humans are more complex than they are. Logic is straightforward. There's always one outcome that's most beneficial to one's survival, but emotions throw all that out of whack. She stands as the very evidence of that, all broken up and dazed in the wake of it.
She follows Havoc quietly, still munching on her popcorn. ]
[People react illogically. They sometimes lunch to attack when they have no chance of winning. Sometimes act against their own interests based on an insult or a goad. Sometimes do nothing when doing nothing was counter productive.
But their motivations... those were simple seeming to Havoc.
(Not that she could say her own motivations were not simple- stay alive.)
As Amber munches, Havoc's thin fingers move over the selection without any recent pop culture exposure to help her.]
[ There's always a way to justify an action using reason. Words are pliant that way. She should know. But her own doings recently are difficult to explain when considering her nature, she knows this too, and hopes it at least alarms Havoc and November and perhaps even April.

Pushed aside the uncomfortable for now, to select a movie. Female-led, apparently a comedy... perhaps appropriate.
[ Amber peers over to check out the title, not that she really cares if the movie is bad. In a way she's only here because Havoc asked her and because she enjoys her company and because the thoughts that occupy her mind when she's alone aren't pleasant these days. Her fussing about the movie is only for filling in the silence.
Popcorn in one hand and without a word of warning, she reaches over to grab her friend's arm so they could walk arm in arm into the theater. ]
