I don't mind at all - this is more fun with friends. [He offers a hand to help her jump off the stands. Soon Romelle with learn that Shiro having this current grin while talking about piloting means thrills that require a strong heart and a need for a speed.] Keith took the Altean pod because you've never learned how to use it, right? It's never too late to start.

[soughttruth]

[He does have a distinct point there. No one in the colonies knew how to pilot anything and that included her. After a moment she breaks into an excited smile once again and grasps his hand to jump off the stands as requested.]

You're right, I really do need to learn more valuable skills. There are some things I just seem to know now but learning more can't hurt!

[padadin]

Of course. Learning more is always a good idea - especially here. There are people from many different universes and they all have tons of stories to tell.

[Some times he wishes he could take those stories (memories) home, but let's not think about that now. Shiro lets go of her hand to bring the speeder closer now that the mechanics are done with it, just pushing it by the handles for now.]

Do you want to jump right into it or would you rather have a ride as passenger first?

[soughttruth]

[At that Romelle can hardly contain herself. Adventures can be quite scary in many ways but she's getting the impression, slowly but surely, that they can have their good points too.]

Oh, a passenger, definitely! You were doing so well out there, I want to experience it first-hand too!

[padadin]

[Oh, Romelle, you sweet summer child...]

Thank you for the compliment. Let's have some fun then. Choose any helmet you like.

[And there's quite a collection of them with a variety of colors! Shiro just puts on a black one (and nobody is surprised) before jumping on the speeder and indicating the spot behind him.]

I want you to hold onto me with all you've got, alright? Don't let go - this is for your own safety. If at any point you want us to stop -and there's nothing wrong with that if you do- just tap my back twice and I'll get the message.

[soughttruth]

[Who thought these things came in so many shades? With some predictability, Romelle plucks up one that seems to be a purple shade and after looking it over, plops it onto her head. It's a nice fit and she reminds herself if she ever does this again to do her hair up as well.

She seems to have absolutely no qualms about plopping herself down on the back of that speeder and doing just what he says. She pauses there though, leaning around his body to blink up at him since she can't precisely lean over his shoulder.]

With all I've got?

[You sure about that?]

[padadin]

[Her touch is fine, it doesn't bother him. No, what makes him suddenly freeze is the memory of Allura throwing him across the room. The yeeting will forever haunt him, okay.]

...I forgot. You also have Altean strength, huh. Like Allura? [Why is he worried about her safety again?] Let's make it "hold onto me just tightly enough not to fall or slip" then. No broken bones would be appreciated.

[SHIRO PLEASE.]
