[Gabe doesn't have a whole lot to do today. He's been at the garage working most of the day, but he was able to wrap things up and get out of there for a little while. He's been told that it's good for him to do, get out from under the cars and get some fresh air now and again.

So he's doing that. He's sitting outside at a coffee shop, lets stretched out in front of him, coffee on the table (black, the only way he likes it) and cigarette in his hand. He's watching the world pass him by, but mostly watching the cars pass him by. He likes watching each car and thinking up an immediate fact about the make and model, or diagnosing a problem in his head just by the sounds the car is making.

This is his way of relaxing. It's not very normal, but it's his thing.

Chances are he's waiting for his sister to get out of class. Or he's waiting to meet you. Or he doesn't know you at all, and that's about to change. Either way, he's here.]

[And him being pleased just makes her all the more happy. It tends to do that.]

She sounds great. Do I get to meet her before we head out?

[onlywaytolive.livejournal.com]

Of course! She's gotta know who's second in command.

[handswillwork.livejournal.com]

[She grins, fist-pumping the air in triumph. It looks kind of silly, but that's okay. She has no problem looking silly.

She takes a sip of coffee before continuing.] So do you want to do stops on the way or should we just switch off and drive straight through?

[onlywaytolive.livejournal.com]

[He laughs. He doesn't mind her being silly, it's one of the many things he loves about her.]

It's up to you. Whatever you feel up for.

[handswillwork.livejournal.com]

[She looks contemplative for a minute, digging into her cake, and make a gesture with her fork.] If we're both up for it, we can go straight through. [The translation here is pretty much if she doesn't manage to wipe herself out for the day they're heading out.

She'll try to be good, she's just bad at it.]

[onlywaytolive.livejournal.com]

[he nods] Okay. And I can drive most of the way if you get tired or anything.

[always the considerate one, this guy.]

[handswillwork.livejournal.com]

[One of the many reasons she loves him.]

Sounds like a plan to me. [She grins, and nudges him lightly with her fork.] Are you going back to the garage today?

[onlywaytolive.livejournal.com]

[There had better be many! he would be sad otherwise, and we don't want a sad twin.]

Yeah, I still have a few things I want to finish up today. But I think Tegan wants us to come over for dinner tonight.

[handswillwork.livejournal.com]

[Oh, they are many and varied! It is a loooooong list.]

[This is pleasing news, very pleasing, and she nods.] Okay, that sounds good. Can I tag along when you go back?

[onlywaytolive.livejournal.com]

[The list is the same for her, much the same.]

Of course. I can even pick you up if you want.

[handswillwork.livejournal.com]

[Then they are both set and everything is awesome.]

[She laughs.] Would I ever say no to a ride with you? [Or... to rides in general, really, but the addition of her brother makes it that much better.]

[onlywaytolive.livejournal.com]

I don't know, would you? I'd hope not. It'd crush me.

[handswillwork.livejournal.com]

Well, that's the last thing I'd ever want. But even if it wouldn't I'd say yes.`

[onlywaytolive.livejournal.com]

You should be careful about the things you say yes to, you know.

[he gives her a playful and light kick to the shin under the table.]

[handswillwork.livejournal.com]

Oh, should I be scared now? [She kicks him back lightly, grinning.]
