[That's a joke, he wouldn't pay for parking, anyway. Heropa's map wasn't complete, but it did have most of the gridwork lined out as he scans over it, running his finger along a few lines.]
Pfft, lights are for cars, and I'm in a hurry. [He doesn't even look up when he says that, finger tapping his lips while he reads the screen.] Let's see...Lucky Cat Cafe--maybe she stopped there with Oba-chan.
[ Which makes it much easier to confirm the address she finds is the right one. She has it set on her HUD. ]
Meet you there, kid. [ She doesn't wait for him to reply before she's taken off. They are in a hurry and has her route to the cafe optimized.
How much does their imPort status go if they get pulled over for traffic violations? The thought only briefly crosses her mind as she speeds towards their destination. ]
[So much for waiting. There's a slight lip curl as he takes to his bike, already dreading what was going to be a very long day.
His bike roars to life the moment his hands touch the handlebars, speeding off in the same direction as her to start, only to drift through the stoplight and take a different path. He didn't know addresses, he couldn't be assed to learn English. But the roads were his turf, and if there was one thing he could do, it was take shortcuts through alleys that connected the main roads. The plus side to being raised on the streets? You knew how to read the streets, not the signs.
Heropa wasn't as cluttered as Nonah, thankfully, and the time of day made little issue with pedestrians.
It's not long before he catches up to her, pretty close to where the Lucky Cat resides, his bike leaving signature light trails as he turns the corner right next to her. Sorry, what was that about being left at the lights?
Lucky Cat is up ahead as he turns his bike to the side, green electricity coursing through the pavement like trickles of water as he pulls himself to a stop, boots used as makeshift breaks.
[ They both knew where they were going. Waiting only seemed a waste of time when they'd have plenty of time to chat once they reached their destination.
A destination he managed to reach seconds before her. She had a front row seat to his little show of breaking and she rolled her eyes. Hot shot kid. At least she had that part of him pegged right from the start.
She pulls up more naturally, utilizing the actual brakes on her bike, and feeling no need to show off anything to him. ]
Surprised you didn't get pulled over. [ It's a light remark as she slides off her bike and pulls off her helmet, tucking it beneath her arm. ]
Ha! Pulled over means you actually STOP to give em the time of day!
[He laughs confidently, still coming down from the driver's high on the ride over. His heart still ached in worry for Maya, but it took the tension out of the searching with Tex. She may be just as worried as he is, sure, but that didn't mean he enjoyed this.]
Oba-chan should still be here...
[And hopefully Maya too, napping upstairs where she always was. It was normal for her, after all, and that gave a touch of hope.]

[Taps the screen twice in emphasis.]
We'll start there.

A natural show off? Only slightly.
Okay, a lot.]
