[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!

Okay, I will. [He heads back inside to get his phone and a phone book, and begins paging through]

Tyki is going to know it's you, though. Unless you're going to try to tell him someone stole it.

He's not! There's a hundred people who could've taken it! Besides, I don't have t tell him anything. I was here the whole time, remember? [frowns] And you'd better not say anything, either!

I'm not going to tell him anything! You're my boyfriend, and I hate Tyki. Don't be stupid.

[He dials the number and brings his cellphone to his ear to call for a tow]

You'd better pay for the tow, though.

Pay?? I don't have any-- [pause]

Wait, what'd you say?

You have to-- [He breaks off as the phone is answered, and tersely requests the tow, giving the address of the dormitory, then hangs up] You have to pay for the tow truck. They don't do it for free.

[frowns impatiently as he watches Shito give the address, then shakes his head at the boy's eventual response]

No, I got that! I mean what you said before.

[Blinks] I hate Tyki?

Before that!!

[A short pause] ...You're my boyfriend?
