You can't say something like that and then not even drop a hint.

Watch me! [ LAUGHS LIKE A LUNATIC, but it's all in good fun. ]

Jeez, you could give C's overlord cackle a run for its money.

Good to know. [ it's time for a cackle off. ]

I might need some help with this one though, so if I have to let somebody in one it. [ she taps his nose. ] I think I have the perfect candidate right here!

For real?

Dude, just say the word, I'm your guy.

As, like, the original member, yep!

[ kind of sort of a hint??? ]

The original member?

[ crooks a finger at him so that he leans in closer. ]

[Leans in closer.]

[ whispers, ] Custom Biker Jackets for the HSS Biker "Gang".

Holy crap!

[ she clamps a hand over his mouth and looks around to make sure nobody heard or is looking in their direction. still whispering, ]

Right? King's got a bike now and I'm pretty sure Mars is going to get one. Prim too, but I, first, need to teach her to ride. Hiryuu, Eclipse, and Abi I'm not so sure about, but maybe with a little con~vin~cing~

[Lowers his voice so no one can hear:]

...Hiryuu might be a hard sell. I tried to take her on a ride once and she kinda freaked out.

[ said just as softly, ]

I did ask her once before, but if she's gone on a ride before, then her reaction makes much more sense now. Yeah, she didn't seem into it, but maybe we can turn that around somehow.

You think?

I do! It's just going to take a while, probably, but I'm sure she'll come around. And, if not, then maybe we can get detachable sidecars and make it a little less frightening for her.

Or she could wear the jacket and ride a horse or something.

She did mention she liked horses. That works, assuming the horse wouldn't be scared of all the noise the bike makes. I did want to learn to ride too, so maybe next time we go riding I can bring a horse instead. Test it out, since I'd feel kind of bad if we asked her to join us with a horse and then it lost its shit.

Oh yeah, good point.

I dunno how horses even work.

I don't really know how they work either, but it couldn't hurt to find out. Want to ride out to the stables and I'll see if I can't drive one of those bad boys?

I mean, I dunno if I'm really the cowboy type? But I bet I can give em carrots or whatever right up there with the pros.

How about you give it carrots, so I can climb onto it?

[ this isn't going to end well. ]

Like a distraction? Sure, let's give it a shot.

Yeah! what's the worst that can happen? It'll be fine, I'm sure. Want to drive us there?

Right now?
