"If you can manage it without an antenna or windshield wipers, that'll be a feat..." Ebony chuckled faintly, "but I can hold the twins still for you. All you have to do is tilt the can just enough so that they can reach and they'll do the rest. And you can use your teeth to hold the can steady. It's fairly easy to do."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"At 12 noon, like always," replied Sapphire, "and everyone's pushy because they all want to get first place. It's not just Chick. There's a LOT of competition on the track and I have to be alert for it. But I must rely on my crew chief to tell me what's going on if I don't see it."

"I can pitch in with that," Ondine smiled. She put her tire out to the little ones. They almost reminded her of her fiancee's daughter, Abby. She couldn't really see herself becoming a mother, but who knew in a few years?
"Well, nice meetin' ya, ma'am." Doug smiled to Tempest, "Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go meet somebody. See ya later!"

"I think I can do that," Phoenix said taking in her teeth and tilted down towards the nearest twin.
~~~~~
"I can manage that, I read body language pretty good." Kitt said. "I'll keep a good lookout."

(((((OOC: Actually... that's one of the images that had been stuck in my mind for awhile... XD)))))
"Thanks," Ebony gently set her tire down on one of the twins, Krill, and held him steady.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Have a pleasant day," Tempest nodded, watching Doug leave, then went about her own tasks.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I'm glad for that," smiled Sapphire.
Stacey came back a few minutes later with the orders, "Here you go. One apple-cinnamon infusion for you, Ma'am, and one raspberry infusion for you, Sir. Enjoy your meal and let me know if you need anything else, okay?"
"We will, thank you," said Sapphire, nodded to Stacey.
Stacey returned the nod and the little Escort went off to serve a few other early morning customers.

Phoenix steadied the can, holding it closer for the little Viper boy to reach.
~~~~~
Kitt took up his can. "Its a talent you pick up from watching people, I can give you a few lessons."

"I'd love to learn that," said Sapphire, "It'll help me in my racing."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Krill latched onto the baby formula can and began to suckle. Maven was doing the same as Ondine offered the formula to her.
Ebony relaxed and watched. Boost and Slaytor settled down beside her.

Kamui got a few more laps in before she came back. But she had a lot on her mind and didn't talk much....

"Alright quick lesson. See that guy," Kitt said pointing at a SUV across the way reading a paper.
"See how rigid and stiff he is, he's anxious or upset about something maybe in the paper, see how his ridges forrow as he reads. He's having problems maybe at work."
"Anyone like that on the track might do something reckless or can be distracted."
~~~~~
Phoenix kept the can steady as Krill suckled. She grinned as best she could to Boost clearly saying 'see nothing to it'.

"So I might have an advantage over someone like that," nodded Sapphire, glancing at the SUV, "That'll help. Focus on the disadvantages of the racers."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Boost smiled back, watching the twins being fed. Maybe someday in a couple of years, he and Phoenix would have a kid too. But for now, he'd just stick with watching Ebony's kids.
"Wait until ya have a kid of your own then you'll see how much work it is to take care of them," said Ebony, "The twins nearly exhausted me."

"Exactly, but that one." Kitt said gestured to a silver sedan. "Look at how his eyes are scanning around and figeting with his tires. He's planning something or has something to say, and from a looks of it; he's a salesman. Those are signs someone's gonna make a move."
(((And this is all called Kinesics, I was bored and read a book on it once. It was fun.)))
~~~~~
"I can tell." Phoenix said through her teeth since she was still holding the can. "It'll still be a few years away before I have a kid."

"Ah, there are a good number of racers that are planning to make a move whenever they see an opportunity," said Sapphire, "Chick is one of them. I will have to be careful and alert then as well."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Krill let go finally and Ebony gently patted him until he burped. Maven followed her brother's example and burped as well.
"There, had enough?" she nuzzled the baby Vipers and drew them close to her. They chirped and snuggled against Ebony.
Ebony smiles at them, "Looks like I won't be going anywhere for awhile."

"Now Chick I hadn't had a chance to meet face to face," Kitt said. "But he almost seems... insecure from what race clips I've seen of him. Almost like he can't reach his full capabilities and so he has to cheat."
~~~~~
Phoenix sat the can down. "Looks like you're aren't, though they seem to enjoy being close to their mom.'

"Chick does cheat to win," replied Sapphire, "He has a tendency to overstrain himself just so he could catch up to the leaders, whoever they may be, knocks other racers out of the way, even though it may cause a certain amount of damage to that racer, and has tried to take me out on several occasions, before and after he took out my father. He is a nasty piece of work that you should really try to avoid meeting."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ebony sighed, "I think that's because I've brought them to full term that it gives me sort of a psychic bond with them. Remember how big I was when I was carrying them? I felt like scrap at the time and was having trouble sleeping."

"Got it," Kitt said. "Chick bad; avoid at all costs. Must be a nasty piece of work then, lets just hope he doesn't get on the bad side of a StreamLiner."
~~~~~
"Yeah and you were real irritable too." Phoenix said. "And even I had trouble dealing with you somewhat."
