So, who all here is into racing?

[simple, direct, to the point. she's smiling as she says it, though. It's about equal parts mischievous and competitive.]

Oh! And for anyone working on or interested in Mr. Kent's newspaper, I'm going to be writing a section on automotives. If anyone has any information on any of the vehicles or mechanics here, I'd love to talk shop. Thanks.

[She gives the camera a little wave, and disconnects.]

[That knocks him silent a moment. His expression is difficult to read as he places that in the grand scheme of Keeliai. But, silence is golden and too-shortlived. He blinks and shakes his head]

Good. [It comes after a pause. She's got a spark about her, interesting. And who is he to say no to anything pretty with a taste for cars? Though, speaking of taste, she does look a tad illegal to enjoy more than that.] Yes, good.

Oh, and I don't do mornings. Voluntarily, at least. [Frankly? He doesn't pay that much attention to the time of day in the first place. He can, but why abide by a clock when he's got something interesting going on?] So. Lessons will begin at two.

[She does some calculations. She'll have to move her work schedule around a little bit-- but that's all right, her boss has been pretty accommodating so far.]

All right. Where?

Metal. That's where all the goodies are. We'll start slow and simple -- a couple motorbikes. Bring tools if you have 'em.

[A text portion is added to the message with directions to an eccentric little garage that Tony's been checking out.]
