He did think that about her.
"Well, you do," he responded, trying to act all nonchalant with a simple shrug. There was a deadbeat pause before he teasingly added, "I'm glad being around me so much has brought that out in you." He grinned and then ran his hands through his hair as if to say that his own good looks had some sort of influence and rubbed off on her, which he knew wasn't the case at all.
Now that the popcorn taste test was complete, Logan replied to her question about the hairstyle of whatever year this move had been made. "Haven't the foggiest." He then grabbed water bottles for both of them. "Think I should give that guy's hairdo a try?" he asked, jokingly, as he carried the waters and his bucket over to where Vera had placed her items. His face perked up a bit at the mention of sharing a blanket and that she had made sweets for the two of them. "Is this your way of saying you want to snuggle with me?" His tone indicated that he was teasing, despite it being a rather genuine question under the surface.
The blond then joined Vera at the bulky black box with all the buttons. Now, whether the tape had been rewinded properly, he couldn't say because he didn't recall what it was supposed to look like. But he supposed there was only one way to find out. "I think you hit that button after you put it in."
Her face was a bit flushed at the compliment, especially after he was even more direct with it after she had teased him. There was a pleased smile on her face.
“Thank you.” It was still comfortable though too when he added a teasing qualifier, which she laughed at as she playfully rolled her eyes at him.
“While you look good, that particular triumph belongs to Maria and Sia.” Well, actually he did deserve a fair amount of the credit as well. Not that she’d tell him she only started to care because she wanted to see if he’d notice her.
She listened to him behind her as she examined the VCR box, double checking the tape multiple times to make sure she was putting it in the right way, before carefully inserting it into the indicated slot in her notes and giving it a gentle push. There was no loud beeping or crunching noises of something being destroyed, and it seemed to accept it so… so far so good? At his question, she turned the movie box over in her hand to look at the hair before turning back to Logan, scrunching up her face as if she was actually considering it.
“Hmm. No, I don’t think it’d suit you. I like the way you wear your hair now.” She was going to turn back to the task at hand, but hadn’t yet done so when he asked his next question - which certainly caused her face to burn a bit hotter. Had she been making this a little bit too much like a date
which she had totally been calling it in her head? And maybe it wasn’t as welcomed as her brother had made her believe it would be? She eyed him curiously for a moment trying to decide if she was going to match the teasing tone or just… see what happened if she didn’t.
“Maybe it is.” She settled on with a smile, no tease to her own tone before she turned back again to the machine.
Once he joined her at the machine, she glanced at the button he indicated before nodding her head once in agreement. That sounded about right to her. Reaching out, she tentatively pressed the indicated button - which was kind of an oddly placed triangle of sorts - and held her breath while waiting to see if any calamity followed.
