“Nah. Dunno what you mean boss.”

Playing it off, he eases onto his ride and settled in. Revving up the engine with a impactfully loud roar.

The engine rumbles with enough echo and power to as usual, flex their rides.

“Only one person here has the cute factor mixing with their tough prowess.”

“Hah. Good. Makes it worth our while.”

This time, his pat is directed on that rear of hers with a good bounce!

He’s leading the way to their stationed bikes so they can get going. Though he does look around with a blush to make sure no one saw that….

“You have to ask? Sure I will.”

A prop of his shades, while flashing a smirk.

“So long as you let me cover the bill, boss. You can pay me back later tonight when we’re alone.”

Not so subtle, is he?

"You got it~"

His lips curve into a smirk, pushing up his shades.

"Hopefully one day, we can be knocking heads together at once. Think it'd be overkill, but who cares." Patting her lower back, and pulling her up close to his form.

"What's on our agenda? Any runs or stuff ya got for me?"

A quick peck up her cheek, rubbing her back.

“Remember. You gotta pace yourself. The Overlord can’t always show out. You’re important, not only to the Outer Ring, but to us.”

Hand on her shoulder.

“You’re the strongest person I know. But one jumpscare was enough for all of us. Trust in me. I’ll knock some heads in, in your name.”

take in lately.”

Arms folded, easing up beside her.

“You got it.”

Hah. Being praised was nice. He pushed up his shades, and seemed to smirk to himself.

“Speaking of. They’ve been quiet. I know given all that’s happened, it’s understandable. Should we keeping close eye or just a general glance on occasion? Definitely a lot for those guys to —

"Yeah well, she's right. Lot of boring documents and things you gotta go through. Management was never my strong point. Just tell me who or what to beat down, and I'm on it. Simple."

Lighter flick, and snap. The flame going out as quickly as it arrived.

“It happens. You’ve been pretty active today, boss.”
