Ariadne Wednesday (36) New to city. Looking for a good publican. Cards, drinks, civilized discourse. And possibly more.

I feel terrible for having left you like that, the other day. Would you accept a ride around town and a drink as a sincere and heartfelt apology?

I would like that very much. You have your own transportation?

[ Sweet Dade, maybe Root could teach her to drive. ]

[symbiosys]

I do. [She sends Ari a photo of her bike.] Some guests have cars, but I much prefer this kind of horsepower.

[Although Root prefers bikes, she can drive just about any kind of bike, car, or even truck, and she certainly doesn't mind teaching others how to do it...]

[barkingmad]

I have no idea what horse power is, but I've seen those around town and I am duly impressed. Are they hard to drive?

[ In short, yes. Very much yes. Yes please. She needs one of these in her life. ]

[symbiosys]

It's a unit of measurement of power, like Celsius or Fahrenheit for temperature. I never found these hard to maneuver at all, but everyone's different.

I promise I won't break the speed limit... unless you want me to, that is.

[All she has to do is ask, and Root will gladly teach her how to do it. If only they were back in Root's world, she would totally steal a car so she could teach Ari how to drive... too bad Eudio isn't very fond of harmless crimes. She really misses that sort of thing.]

They put a limit on how fast you can go? Imperialist *bastards*.

[ Beat. ]

What are you doing right now?

[ There's an address linked to the message. ]

[symbiosys]

[Give her a moment, Root is laughing quite hard at that.]

I'll take that as a 'yes'.

[It's less 'imperialist bastards' and more 'trying to keep people from getting themselves and other people killed', but Root isn't going to waste time talking about that when Ari has made such an interesting question.]

Oh, I'm done with work for today and I was about to go home, but I suppose I could make a detour...

[barkingmad]

You will have my undying gratitude if you come and rescue me from this pedestrian existence. In fact, I'll buy.

[ She's put it all on the table, but for a chance to fly again? She'd crawl over broken glass. ]

[symbiosys]

You know just what to say; I can never resist being the knight in shining armour. I'll see you soon!

[She slips her phone into her pocket and makes her way to where Ari is. Her new ladyfriend will get her chance to fly soon enough.]
