"Mmmm-hmmm...." Veronica chuckled. "I'm seeing a real nice guy right now, but it gets kind of awkward when my "old self" and all the spirits horn in and make off-color remarks. I have like, 200 tons of baggage to clean up from years back."
"I'm sure David understands, Vee." Kamui interjected. "And he's been good for you. Now all you have to do is work things out with your parents."
"If THEY want to." Veronica sighed. "They haven't spoken to each other in a bike's age, let alone me. I was always "the oopsie" to them.
Kamui glanced back towards the mountain portal. "Wonder what Shroder's up to? Not scaring the horses, I hope." She turned back to Delfina. "I hate to sound like some wimpy therapist, but thanks for sharing."
"Bye, Ondine." Kendall waved as he went out the door with the others. "See you soon."
Boost and the other DRH fell into line behind them.

"She has the sense not to use it against humans." Daniel said. "Though the problem is she hadn't seen a car until two-three months ago. I probably need to ask Julian or any of the trainers to help me with that." And Kamui and Ronnie do not know about my complication as well. Stay away and hope someone else tells them, or risk hemorrhaging by approaching them?

"No problem," shrugged Delfina.

Ebony, Phoenix, and Ricardo drove to the park.

"So... " Shroder shrugged after a bit. "Wouldja like t'meet Kamui?"
Kamui snaked her reinforced antenna to the roof and removed her sword from its sheath. "Just gonna have a bit of practice." It had looked a little oddly shaped in its scabbard, but otherwise regular enough. But once it was clear, Kamui fanned it out into five glistening blades, with the visual effect of a deadly fan. A field of bluish energy became the weave between the warp of the blades. She maneuvered it into upper and lower blocks, then a series of diagonal slashing cuts as she moved about the area in front of her canopy. "Received this from the clan mother when I was twenty-one." she explained. "Took me another two years to really get the hang of it, and I'm still learning."
Kendall spread out a night cover on the ground to serve as a blanket for the twins. Despite it being late fall, it was a quite tolerable day. The pigeons were out picking through the grass, eating the seeds that had fallen through the trees. They were not as numerous in the cities of the Carsverse as they had been in the human world, since what the cars lived off of was not compatible with them. However, there were perhaps twenty in the park today.

Daniel looked at Shroder for a moment that was slightly longer than acceptable. "Alright, haven't really been around her anyway." He recovered.

"I was wondering about that and why you were carrying it on your roof and so was Phoenix," said Delfina, "It looks like a fan made of blades. I could sense some powerful energy coming from it."
*****
Ebony let the twins down on the nightcover and they hopped about gratefully as having been let down out of the slings. Their mother lay down next to them.
Ricardo and Phoenix settled down nearby with their son.

Boost and Shrike settled down a little ways from Ebony and Kendall, watching the pigeons strut about in their self-important way.
Shroder studied Daniel for a second or two, as if wondering at his hesitancy. "Her camp's just a little ways from the door."
Kamui let off two or three carefully measured fireballs. "It can give quite a whack too, as a certain El Chicko will tell you."

Daniel's noticed he was being inspected by Shroder, but shrugged. "Alright." He said in a normal tone of voice and walked over to Kamui's trailer. "Hello?" He looked in.

Gryffin chirped happily as wiggled out of the harness and pawed softly on his mother's side as she pulled out his plush griffin and tackled it playfully.

Ebony kept an eye on the twins as they crept over to Ricardo and Phoenix to see where Gryffin was. They wanted to play.
The Viper then slipped into deep thought, losing focus on her surroundings.

"I think I've heard that from Mr. Weathers," said Delfina.

Gryffin looked up from wrestling his plushie and chirped as he saw the twins.

"Yeah, he would tell you. Doesn't care much for the Chickster himself, and if you ask his wife, you'll get an even lower opinion, especially in private." Kamui snorted. "Not after what happened in 2005. I didn't race in the championship race that year, but it was all over the news. Just a minute, just heard somebody at the ramp." She paused. "Come on around back!"
Kendall stayed settled beside Ebony, maintaining a bit of contact to keep her grounded. She had something on her mind, he could tell.

Daniel went around and came inside. "Spacious." He commented before looking at Kamui, and her potentionally dangerous weapon. "Hey Exan, I'm Daniel, Aron's brother." He introduced himself.

Kestrel and Falcon reached out for the griffin plushie, wanting to play with it.
*****
Ebony was feeling a little bit weird with everything that had been going on. She felt detached from everything.
(((((OOC: So I guess Delfina is going to be ignored again...)))))

"Who's that?" Veronica asked Delfina discreetly. "Looks a bit like Aron."
Kamui folded her blade-fan and put it away, because it could potentially freak out some people. "Hey there, stranger."
"You OK, Ebony?" Kendall asked.
