Nico was the type of person who didn't like to do anything half assed. Of course there was more to all of this than that. He liked Lyle. Lyle was a genuinely good person. And since he liked him, he was willing to be more than expected, than anticipated. It wasn't inconvenient to him to do so so why wouldn't he? It made sense.
Nico had popcorn with extra butter and some ranch kernel seasonings on it along with an over-sized soda. With those both perched in one hand, he had kept hold of Lyle's with the other as they walked in and found them a spot toward the middle and center where they would have the best view.
Nico had not seen the films enough to have every bit memorized but pretty close. He was a fan and, yes, he was just that type of person. He smiled at the admission, not at all put off by it, and replied, "I think you're gonna like him." At least he hoped he would. He wanted this night to be a good one.
