"You're not doing a very good job of deterring me." He grinned. "Come on, then." Horace lead the way to their seats. He'd picked them specifically and was glad to see the row was, as yet, empty. He exhaled softly; this meant he wouldn't have to brush against anyone. The seats were near the front (hello orchestra!) but a bit off to the side and conveniently tucked beside a pillar. Three seats, then pillar, then more seats. It didn't obscure the view for them at least... now.. the people behind them were just out of luck, but Horace knew the seats right behind the pillar were ridiculously cheaper because of it.
He pointed. "We're in those. Is it okay if I call pillar seat in case the third seat is taken?" Horace looked embarrassed to even ask. He'd be okay sitting next to Eli, maybe, but anyone else and he'd probably freeze up, shock everyone, and die.

"Thanks," he said gratefully, sliding into the seat. "Usually, I reserve two seats, which makes it more expensive, but eh. It's nicer to be able to go with someone else." He bumped his shoulder slightly into Eli's.
"I try to get pretty good seats... I wanna see what's happening on stage, after all. I've been thinking about getting a box for the season, but renting a whole box for myself is... excessive. And I don't know too many people into this." Horace paused, then smiled, tucking his hair behind one ear in an almost.. bashful manner. "Well, I know you now."
I guess I can just talk to you like this during the show, though. the smile turned into a grin. He could be absolutely insufferable about it, if he wanted to.

"You get one," he held up a single finger for emphasis, "one interruption before I start taking notes." Admittedly, there were worse distractions than Horace's prodding. Talking to him was actually refreshing, but they (Horace) had paid good money to actually watch the show.
"But sure, Ollie likes music, I bet we could convince him to deal with the cheesy story lines, too."
As the orchestra wound down, Eli looked forward again. Hopefully the nervousness would fade with time, because he didn't lean away. "Is it almost time?"
