[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?

[intheblanks]

Not really.

[Though somewhere to park will probably be the ultimate objective.]

[synanthrope]

Well, the tank is full.

[Pleased.]

[intheblanks]

I'll make sure to save enough to get you home safe.

[Because now they're out of the pedestrian areas he's going to burn some of that gas.]

[synanthrope]

That's very gentlemanly.

[intheblanks]

I hold doors open, too.

[synanthrope]

I'm well aware of your merits.

[intheblanks]

Just trying to make sure I'm worth keeping around.

[It's unfortunate that there's a grain of truth in this, but it's nothing to dwell on.]

Do you know where you'd like to be taken?
