"Heeey, you've reached Yang! Well, actually, you didn't reach far enough, 'cause I'm not here right now! But don't yang up! Just leave a message on this baby, and I'll get back to you soon enough, okay?"

Can do! want em here or in person?

text;

[particularity]

In person'd be good. Got time to come over?

[He can show it to her that way... and ask her some more stuff. WHAT'S A MOTORCYCLE. Well, truthfully, he's given it a ride around, but he still wants Expert Opinion.]

[flaredo]

I'll be right over

text;

[particularity]

Okay, I'll be outside.

[With the bike...]

action;

[flaredo]

[ She'll show up, then-- on hers, because what is bike bonding if there is only one bike. She's grinning as she lifts her helmet off, waving a hand. ]

Hinata, hey!

action;

[particularity]

Hey, Yang. [Hinata looks, impressed, at her bike, leaning lightly against his own. It's still super shiny, but he hasn't driven it too much.]

So that's yours...

action;

[flaredo]

And this is yours, huh? [ Hold on, she has to investigate. ] Pretty shiny!

action;

[particularity]

Souda's handiwork. [...] He got this helmet for me, too...

[He holds it out for her to see... it has a spike on it... for his hair.]

action;

[flaredo]

... It totally fits your style.

action;

[particularity]

I'm not sure if that's a compliment or not...

[But he's shaking his head lightly... he loves his friends but WHAT DO THEY THINK OF HIM, HE WONDERS SOMETIMES.]

action;

[flaredo]

Well, it looks like it'd be comfortable for you.

action;

[particularity]

It would've been fine without the spike.

[But anyway--] I tried taking it for a drive a couple of times already. I think I managed, but I'm not used to these things at all.

action;

[flaredo]

Obviously you didn't crash it, so that's good step forward. Did you lean into turns?

action;

[particularity]

Yeah-- er, when I did them. I kind of just went up and down here, so there aren't too many turns.

action;

[flaredo]

Then that's half the problem... you've got to take it on more exciting roads! Really get to know the feel of it!

action;

[particularity]

I wanted to make sure I had at least an idea of what I was doing first. So I didn't crash into anything...

action;

[flaredo]

Think you can handle trying it out more now?

action;

[particularity]

Er... [He gives his bike a considering look, then looks back to Yang.] I think I could give it a shot.

action;

[flaredo]

... With a little more confidence, Hinata.

action;

[particularity]

I'll get more confidence after I get used to it.

action;

[flaredo]

Then let's do that. I'll follow you, okay?

action;

[particularity]

[Guess they're doing this thing-- Hinata pulls on his helmet, strapping it under his chin and placing his hand on the bike when he's done.]

Okay. Lemme know if you see me do anything wrong.

action;

[flaredo]

I'll give you a full critique after a lap, trust me.

[ She grins at him, popping her own helmet back on and swinging her leg back over her bike. ]

action;

[particularity]

I'll look forward to it...?

[Hinata shifts onto his bike, starting it up, the wheels glowing faintly red once it's going, thanks once more to Souda's additions.]

action;

[flaredo]

[ She'll flap a hand at him as she revs her own bike to life. Go ahead, get going! ]
