Two Wheels or Four? [inv]

She laughed not nor wavered in expression, in stead. She just listened. Most was just.. Cosmetic? She didn’t want to dig that deep into where the lie started and where the lie ended, but she felt there was a lie in those words somewhere. Especially with adding in time it would take, if there was a new part or something, she could just touch around her bike to find out, but she wasn’t going to go that far into finding that lie. She’d do it the more entertaining way, though, she could show being a bit more grateful in the fact he finished so soon. It meant she could manage the playground a bit easier… Possibly get a result this time. Hm. Going alone this time may actually push her luck. So. Maybe… Ah yes. That is a good idea.

“I am not so knowledgeable in motor information and repair. It seemed quite serious to me, but that is how things are when one cannot understand.” She eased herself across the matter, she wasn’t lying wholeheartedly and with a gentle pause between that. She spoke again. “I’ll mind the aesthetic this time.” She didn’t mind playing along with the assumed thoughts, but she wasn’t going to be that stupid. Slipping her phone from her purse, it had a small charm of an orange lily with a black lily; sayuri and kurouyri. Oh. The time.

“By chance. Are you free. Now?” She canted her head in question, yes, she expected him to hurry and eat. It couldn’t be a natural ability, she wasn’t going to accept that. He was aware spiritually, used an ability right in front of her and she just needed to know what he was. She didn’t want to say Quincy. She refused to think Quincy. Nonetheless, if he was quite aware. He could be used in some way to help her. Just what would catch his interest? “I thought about it and considering, you did quite well for my bike, along with your interest in bikes. I want to race you. If you win. I’ll tell you what happened to my bike. And if I win. You have owe me a free repair.”

There was a smile! She was starting to smile! Had it been something he said? Or something that wiggled into the strings she crafted? Nonetheless, it was a shame she didn’t truly smile. “Oh?” She hummed with her right hand moving to press against her chin, her index tapping against her lower lip center. “But. Life is not quite fair. Isn’t that something known with age?” She poked a fact towards him, in directly, poking fun at him. Was she calling him old? Well. No. She wasn’t going to admit she was in a rush or the fact he had the ability to have something better than her own bike.  Or the fact she was using him for something.

Winning was not really something in her mind, but she wasn’t going to say ‘Oh hey, let me use you as spiritual hollow bait.’. Nope. She would never be that cruel. “Yumisawa.” She said with a chill in tone. If she wasn’t wrong, they’ll be active in a slow starting wave. But, it was normally when she appeared it was increased. “Use any street path. The race will be concluded upon reaching the in between path of the children's playground and the basketball court.” She explained, he lived here. So, she didn’t feel the need to explain anything else. Sadly, that was the last location her bike would’ve remembered before getting tossed out of an alleyway into sand.

“Any questions?” She asked.

There was so much she wanted to say, there was so much she could say and it was clawing at her brain—This was going to be interesting. Should she warn him? Should she humor him? Ah. No. She wouldn’t. He could be only view the simple win to lose and she’ll still be fine. She had only assumed to say stick to the streets due to her personal encounters would hollows and fullbringers, not everything was so nice. But, maybe, he would be fine. He seemed careless enough. Though, she found herself a bit humored.

“Me? Upset?” She questioned such a notion in his words. “Nothing so trivial has ever forced me into such a distress.” She admitted with her apathetic return. Feelings and emotions were easily dismissive to her, she almost seemed to be going back into her more reserved nature. Exhaling with a gentleness, her right hand extending in a gesture to be handed something. “Toss me my key and I’ll gladly take the head start.” She didn’t seem bothered or fazed by his words. Was she taking this seriously? No.

Nonetheless, she was curious to what he would use and she would’ve admitted this was a losing battle, but it was better this and pretending then showing she actually seemed nice and had a heart somewhere. Or the fact, she was a lonely soul that wanted a friend sometimes. Ugh, that’d be shameful and pitiful. She lived to tell herself that people were just a tool to be used, but that was never the truth. “Just don’t get lost. I’d hate to be the nice soul to look for you.”

Setting her cup down on a surface somewhere, she was not as nice as to seek permission to leave stuff at his place and consider it as her thinking she bought him with her card. Landing within her palm, her fingers curled to hold the key in place and with a step forward, she motioned to her bike. Five percent human… Huh? That thought formed something in mind and when thought a bit about it, that ninety percent was her being a robot? Huh. That would be she had a bit of a personality and she could be flawless. She wasn’t a robot, she was a puppet and she didn’t begin to voice that emotional opinion. But that stabbed a feeling somewhere in her frame. She acted like it? So, it shouldn’t bother her. But it did. Because there was a small waver in her reiatsu, almost like a blow of steam to her nerve hit.

“Ah. So I will send a scouting party for you.” She stated with ease in voice, adjusting her statement to him and, he’d be a shame if he doubted that. “Because, if you do get lost. I am not nice enough to miss the chance to rub your face into it.” There was a bit too much friendliness in that statement, outside her dry tone of speaking.

Slipping her chopstick from her sleeve without revealing the wounds upon her arm, she used her other hand to remove her hat and loped the key ring around her finger as she collected her hair to hold it with the pink, glossy chopstick holding a single blossoming flower—It was the core of all she was, it was her Fullbringer. Without questioning her choice in attire or the fact she was in a shirt about to have a race, she kept her back facing Gabe as she kicked one leg over the bike and moved to sit. Her head canted to look over each side of the bike, inspecting it and as much as she wanted to use Soul Communication to see what he did. She was not going to do that, he was right there.

“Catch.” She tossed him her brown chicky hat, it would be problematic for her if it got blew away and she had to collect it. That would also mean, she has no excuse for losing. Ah. It didn’t matter. Kicking the stand of her bike upward, she simply started backing it out of the garage and kept her hues forced on what was going on behind her. “Don’t be upset with me later.” She said to him, as egotistical as it would’ve seemed for her to be talking about the race. She was actually talking about the possible impending danger. Nothing more. He could’ve took those words as he liked.

With such words, she moved to the parking lot and moved her key into the slot, turning it and oh, that lovely purring sound that came from her bike made her heart almost feel a single beat—There was a bit of glee in her hues. But, now it was time to break it again! Ugh. Hopefully, that wouldn’t happen again. Adjusting her torso to leave into the frame of the bike, she twisted the acceleration and moved her feet to resting props. And like that, the scent of lilies lit the air as she took off in a moderate speed until she got on the street. From there. She turned in the opposite direction of Yumisawa. Which was weird. So why? Ah. There was a lot of reasons. Was she throwing?
