[The car is sitting there in the cold, but luckily the street is salted. It'll mean a whole cleaning when she gets back, but she doesn't mind]

[intheblanks]

[Maybe she'll have help. He gets her door.]

Next year, we should pick up a wreck and get it some decent winter tyres.

[synanthrope]

I don't like wrecks. Unless you mean for me to fix it.

[She slips into her seat]

[intheblanks]

Shame to wreck something that wasn't one to begin with. There are some interesting tracks up the mountain.

[synanthrope]

I had a jeep. I could get access to it again.

[intheblanks]

Who has access to it now?

[synanthrope]

The owner.

[You know. Stiles.]

[intheblanks]

[Chase had thought that jeep came from wolfworld - or wherever Stiles hails from.]

I don't want you to steal a jeep.

[synanthrope]

I don't steal. I would ask him.

[It does but she will clean it.]

[intheblanks]

Nope.

[He answers simply, pulling out into the street.]

[synanthrope]

[She just tilts her head to look at him]

[intheblanks]

[He doesn't respond until they're coasting the outskirts of the urban sprawl. Then he looks across.]

There's no reason we can't get a car together.

[synanthrope]

[She leans back into her seat]

I have cars. Do you want one of your own?

[intheblanks]

Nope. [Wait, autoresponse.] Yes. I should get around to that.

[synanthrope]

I could give you one of mine.

[intheblanks]

I wouldn't ask you to.

[synanthrope]

You're not asking, are you?

[intheblanks]

[Have a narrow-eyed (but only mock-irritated irritated) glance in your direction, Saya.]

Or we could find a project.

[synanthrope]

[She considers it]

I have a new mechanic. He's very good with metal.

[intheblanks]

You do?

[Chase is likely to run into him eventually, either way.]

[synanthrope]

Yes. Erik.

[intheblanks]

[Not familiar - though he has heard the name once this week, that could be coincidence. But he'll bear it in mind.]

I was thinking more of buying something.

[synanthrope]

[She considers this]

Whatever you buy, I'll fix it.

[intheblanks]

Deal.

[And he returns his attention to the road.]

I'll make sure it doesn't offend your sensibilities.

[synanthrope]

You're so thoughtful that way. I would make it better anyway.

Do you know where you're taking me?
