[ once again fei du is putting on his Rich Powerful (not white) Man strut to keep a single person from looking too much at ylfa. he may not be a powerful supernatural person but you know what he is? rich and privileged and hes gonna throw it around with every ounce of weight in his twink body.
but!! he will take her over to vroom vroom, smile very friendly at the shadowy attendant, and bring her over to the side of the track. there are already people driving at the moment - motorcycles whipping around the track. nyooooom. ]
That's alright. I might not know how to swing an axe, or wield a sword, but I can absolutely drive a motorcycle.
[ in fact this is one of his better talents!!! he looks pleased as he accepts a helmet for himself, and... after a dubious look from a shade to which fei du responds to with a smile like :'), a helmet for ylfa with room for her ears, they are given one (1) motorcycle to check out!! ]
If you want to get on behind me, you can hold on - or, honestly, I think I can drive around you, if you want to sit in front. Have you ever ridden a horse before, Ylfa?
Well, no one rode me when I was a horse, because it's less of a horse and more of a stance where I break and grow the bones in my body to be shaped like a horse, and the person who was supposed to ride me was grossed out when she saw it. But I've been a spider - well, more of a stance where I grow extra legs and break them to be spider shaped - and people have ridden me so I think I understand what they were doing.
fei du is like completely stilled as he moves to put his helmet on. even the ineffable and unflappable president fei is shaken by the phrase of growing extra legs and breaking them to be various animal shapes. ]
...uh... huh.
[ jesus ]
I have a lot of questions about how that works, but I think it might be better not to ask.
[
any...way ] Hands on the handlebars. [ and he'll reach over to grab them with her, putting his fingers over the throttle. ] If you tell me you can break your bones to create those, I'll be really confused, just so you know.
...Okay. But he's not a frog. [insistent suddenly.] Sorry to talk back to you, but he's not. He's a human and a prince, he's just cursed. I'd rather you say I'm weird than say Gerard is a frog, okay?
... Right. Sorry, it's - curses at all, even that's strange. Not - not him.
[ at the most basal level. :( he likes gerard!! feels bad immediately
fei du is not much used to being awkward, so there is a beat of readjusting after that, but, thankfully, most things are easily reclaimed by a fast motorcycle, so. he revs the engine, once, twice, and then absolutely takes off, bolting down the track like a professional. zoom ]
Yeah. [she's not mad or anything, it's a pretty normal thing to say.] It's just important, I think, not to let yourself accidentally start thinking of him as a frog, because I think he can tell if you do and that makes him feel like a frog.
[but it is easily forgotten on a motorcycle! so is her feeling insecure and wanting to keep her hood up today, she's just holding on having a blast.]
[ zero insecurities allowed when you are going really, really fast! this is fei du's motto in life also. any weird feelings about being bad at being a human himself evaporate when the bike gets going.
this is a normal thing for fei du - in fact, it's maybe safer than it usually is - so, while ylfa enjoy being a dog with her head out of the window, he's grinning too, letting the adrenaline take over. ] Think it can go faster - hold on!
[ fei du leans forward over her a bit more for more aerodynamics, readjusts his grip, and whips around a corner so the bike drops low, low to the ground. and then zips back up on the straight edge, weaving in and out of other bikers like a daredevil. this is the best location ever ]
[ i looked up tron lightcycle and saw there were ramps so i'm nonconning ramps into this location now
the bike weaves in and out of the other bikes, shooting down the track - it's only when they reach an incline that he finally eases to slow down, just long enough to pause with the motor rumbling. up ahead: a jump. ]
Think we can make it?
[ vroom vroom. he revs the engine, letting it rumble. ]
Perfect. As soon as we get to the middle, boost us.
[ perfect.
two more revs of the engine, just to give it a little Drama - and then fei du guns it, the bike rocketing up the ramp, grinning like a maniac. they should be able to make the jump, but doing it with ylfa's air sounds way more fun? teamwork time.
[as they go in the air she's going to let go of the handlebars so she can turn around and blow a burst of air behind them. she appears to completely lack a normal person's ability to fear bodily harm.]
[ she's so valid because fei du is exactly the same (except he probably shouldn't be considering his everything but here we are)
the air boost works perfectly - the bike whooshes forward and gets a ridiculous amount of air, enough to make one hell of an adrenaline rush. the slo mo kind.
when they hit the ground, it's a perfect landing; fei du whips the bike around into a stop from there and looks back at where they came from, and then down at ylfa, grinning even from beyond his helmet. ]
