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.]

[SUPER FRIENDLY isn't it terrifying how she grabs onto young men she barely knows and drags them off to places unknown!!]

[ TERRIFYING but as long as she doesn't drag him into a dressmaker's he'll probably be okay ]

That's a while. But it sounds like you're keeping your head up. [ He pauses, wondering if that sounds condescending, and goes on to explain: ] With the racing. It's something to enjoy.

[it does, a little. But she's used to that sort of talk, and as far as she can tell he means well, so all it gets is a little bit of a smile.]

You've gotta have something, right? I'm not exactly planning on being here forever, but...

[a bit of a shrug.]

If I'm here that long, I'll probably take up racing myself.

...Then again, maybe not. That means waiting.

[ He might as well admit it, he's weak for a bit of diversion. The bike's supposed to be for exploring the shell more easily, but racing? No reason he can't do that too. ]

Not a fan of waiting?

[Annnd we're back to gentle teasing.]
