Oh. [thoughtful pause] Well, it's not like there aren't a bunch of world-hoppers on the comm...

[Shito looks at him for a moment, then starts to laugh softly, shaking his head]

[pulls away slightly, frowning] What?

[He isn't sure he can even explain it, so he just keeps snickering and shakes his head again. Finally he manages to speak]

You're just...so weird sometimes.

I'm not! ...You are, too!

[He shifts back to sit, leaning against the bed, and laces his fingers through Devit's, grinning] I know. But that doesn't change the fact that you're an idiot who crashed Tyki's car. He really is going to murder you.

It wasn't my fault, okay! The... brakes didn't work! [drops his gaze to their clasped hands, thoughtfully] Besides, he doesn't have to know...

[Shito eyes him disbelievingly] How could he not find out?

He doesn't know I took it! I could've been here with you the whole time, while somebody stole it!

[Thoughtfully] I guess that depends on what you did with the car.

[quiet while he considers this] I wonder if it'll still drive...

[He gets to his feet] Where is it?

Ehh... outside...?

[Shito steps around Devit and heads outside to look for the car]

--Hey! [quickly jumps to his feet and follows him outside]

[the car can be seen not too far away, the front end crunched against a tree; it's not completely totaled, but it doesn't look too pretty, either.

miraculously, the engine is still running.]

[Shito stares at it for a few moments, then opens the driver's side door and turns off the key.

Then he stares a bit longer. He honestly isn't sure what to do about it]

I think we need to dispose of it. Call a....tow truck, or something. Otherwise Tyki will find it here.

'Tow truck'? ...What if we abandon it somewhere?

That's the idea. A tow truck just moves the car to somewhere else so we can abandon it. What did you want to do, push it?

I don't know! The engine was still running! Couldn't we drive it somewhere?

[He eyes Devit warily] I don't know how to drive, and neither do you.

[seems surprised at this!] You don't?

[Surprised by this surprise] Is there a reason I should? I've been a prince locked in a cage my whole life. Princes don't drive themselves anywhere. And as a teenager, I'm not allowed to get my license.

I dunno, I just figured you've been around forever, you probably would've learned how at some point!

Well I haven't! Cars weren't even invented until a little while ago.

Okay, okay! So call your 'tow truck' or whatever!
