"Whatever happens, we have good lawyers." Ondine said. "We'll just have to keep watching the situation down there for now."
"You know Dusty and Rusty, eh?" Doug looked off towards the Rust-Eze tent. "We're cousins. Heh, I'll let you in on a secret. Their real names are Ezra and Eugene - some names, eh? You never heard it from me, though!" Like his cousins, Doug had a pronounced New England working-class accent. He peered through the gate to the track as Kamui zipped by. "Who's that?"

Kamui shot passed Joltsen quickly. But she wasn't quite so much working on speed as she was getting a feel for the track and thinking strategy. She knew that Chick was still a threat eventhough she had beaten him a few times before. She kept her focus.

"I don't want to go back down there," said Ebony, a bit of fear in her voice, "and I don't want to endanger the twins. There's nothing that's gonna make me return. Ever. I-I can't handle another visit."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Ah, I see," nodded Tempest, "Cousins. Interesting." She smiled slightly at the real names of Rusty and Dusty.
She saw Kamui zip by, "That is Kamui Exan, one of the new rookies in the Piston Cup."

"Not bad." Doug observed. "I kinda follow racing myself, but I didn't go so far as my cousins did, starting their own team and all that. They were pretty happy with McQueen's showing last weekend. If he wins, that's great, but a podium finish is pretty good too." He paused. " Ooh, NOW I remember. That Exan's the girl who came in third."
"If it's handled right, it'll die down." Ondine said. "And they'll find someone else to hound."

Tempest nodded, "Yes, she came in third only because she helped out a fellow racer from being smashed into the wall by another. Kamui is quite an honorable young woman. She has a bright future ahead of her."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Even if it does, I still won't go back down there," replied Ebony, "They're not particularly kind to tuners... and I am one. They won't respect differences."
She became alert when she sensed the twins waking up, knowing that they won't stay quiet for long if they don't see their mother nearby.
"The twins are waking up," she said, turning about, "I need to be there or they'll start crying."
Ebony headed back into the cabin, going over to where she had been sleeping and where the twins were bundled up, and touched her nose to their, reassuring the infants that she was there.

Joltsen used both turn one and two to pass Kamui and gain as much distance from her as he could. Though O'Hale was not quite happy with his choice of target practice, he accepted it. They were also practicing fuel gamble. Joltsen was getting low on fuel, making him much lighter and therefor faster than usual. Joltsen had already reached the level where most racers would have gone to the pit for fuel, but he had done it several times, and knew he would be able to squeeze in few more laps around the track.

Kamui wasn't worried about Joltsen too much. She was caught up in her own mind and thought processes and how to tackle the next race....

Phoenix smiled at the motherly display. "Maybe you can go back to the track if we can get hold of a private box."
(((And where are Kitt and Sapphire, would they be practicing or still getting breakfast.)))

Ebony sighed, "Maybe, but I don't feel like going back right now. I like it here because it's nice and peaceful. It... keeps my mind off a lot of things that have been bothering me lately."
The twins whimpered and tried to wiggle out of the blankets. Ebony notices this and unwraps them and they crawl over to her side, pawing eagerly.
"They're hungry."
(((((OOC: I finished the Ebony in Term drawing and it's up in my artwork thread...)))))
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"There it is," said Sapphire as she pulled into the restaurant, "Greg's Eatery. Just take a stall and they'll come take your order."
A white Ford Escort soon came up to the couple, smiling in a friendly and politely. "Hello, welcome to Greg's Eatery," she said, "I'm Stacey and I'll be your waitress this morning. What would you two like to order?"
"I'll take an apple-cinnamon infusion please," said Sapphire.
"Alright," Stacey jotted down the order on a notebook and then turned to Kitt, "And what would you like, Sir?"

"I understand, a lot happened in Miami" Phoenix nodded. She watched the twins pawing at Ebony's side. "... Need any help feeding them?"
~~~~~
"A raspberry infusion for me please." Kitt said.

"I guess so," Ebony nodded, "since I haven't been feeling well enough to do it myself. Trying to raise twins is tough."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Alright, that's an apple-cinnamon infusion and a raspberry infusion," Stacey scribbled down the orders, "I'll be back with your orders in a few minutes."
The Escort turned about and went about her tasks, leaving Sapphire and Kitt to converse.

"I can imagine," Phoenix said. "What do I need to do help feed them?"
~~~~~
Kitt watched the Escort head off and turned back to Sapphire. "So when does the race start? I know the big one to watch for on the track is Chick, does anyone else get pushy on the track?"

After few more laps, Joltsen turned to the pit lane. That was his last practice run before the race.
"How did it go?" Joltsen said, though he knew the answer already.
"Good, we dont have to change our plan for today's race, you got properly tuned." O'Hale answered. "If it goes well, no accidents and such, I think you can pull off a fuel gamble without any trouble. You have few hours before I need you for prep."
"Thank you." Joltsen said and got some extra fuel to last himself till the race. He noticed the new arrival talking to Temptest, but he was not quite interested in joining the conversation.
