"That's not very reassuring," he complained.

"I said it's safe," Wiley says, cutting a glance to Raez.
"It really do depend though," Raez says as he turns a corner and starts onto the highway. His hands tighten around the wheel.
Offline
Dion was wondering which of the two he should trust.
Maybe both...

"I said I should drive," Wiley says pointedly to Raez with a somewhat snobby tone, "You've never liked highways."
"It's not that bad." Raez aims his gaze ahead like he's aspiring to fire a cannonball into the distance.

"I'd like to learn how to drive too."

"You're underage and with no legal license whatsoever," Raez points out. Truthfully, but also blatantly.
"He'll drive better than you," Wiley teases.
"Driving isn't a competition. Unless you're doing race cars. I doubt Rai'd let any of us do that."
"He'd tie me to a chair," Wiley says.
"Just you?"
Nodding.

Dion shifted in his seat. "What is the legal age here to drive, exactly? I could do it well. I bet."
Offline
"18, not counting your permit. But in some other places it's probably a bit lower. And in the Cyber Sect it's too low," Raez says, totally not biased.
Offline
"So I could have driven when I was in the Cyber Sect," Dion mused. "Wonder why I didn't think of that."
Offline
"Good," Raez proclaims as he switches a lane.
Offline
He didn't really agree with Raez's last statement, but he didn't complain this time.

"EZ Noodles is biased, by the way," Wiley remarks from his position--which is basically the chemist hugging the seat in front of him. "I apparently started driving too young."
"Do not remind me of that."
Offline
"'EZ Noodles'?"
Offline
"That'd be me, cap'n," Raez says, probably with a mental salute since he, like in Rai fashion, does not take his hands off of the wheel.
Ra...ez, huh.

"You're not as thin as noodles to be called that," he pointed out.
Offline
"They say you call someone what you are," Raez says as he braves a glance in the mirror at Wiley, who seems like all bones and a bit of skin at 6' 3'' tall. Noodles, indeed.
Offline
"I'd never heard that saying before," he mentioned while looking at Wiley and confirming the description.
Offline
"Well, it's a saying now," Raez says.
Wiley looks slightly disgruntled.
Offline
Dion let out a tiny, involuntary, second-long giggle. It was high-pitched.
Offline
Wiley gives Dion an actual face.
"Uno reverse card," Raez tosses back, smiling himself.
Offline
He held a hand over his mouth to not continue laughing. Still, he had no pity for the chemist.
Offline
"Bullies," Wiley mutters as he turns to look outside. Raez is veering off the highway into...who knows. It's almost as if he's veering into a faded section of the world.
Offline
"How close to getting there are we?"
Offline
"Still a ways away," Raez says.
Offline
"Alright, got it." Dion shifted into a more comfortable position.
Offline
"I wonder how much more convenient it'd be if we could teleport," Raez muses aloud.
Offline
"Wouldn't there be a chance of teleporting into something? That'd be scary."

"Why'd it be scary? It'd be festive," Wiley says. "Then I'd have an actual reason why I couldn't go to yadda yadda or do yadda yadda or conform to yadda yadda standards."
"You'd be impaled by whatever you teleported into, though," Raez reminds.
"Festive!"
Offline
"That would be horrible." Dion sighed. "Wouldn't it be better to make up an excuse instead of teleport into something and get stuck there???"
Offline
"No, because the reason would be legit," Wiley shoots back.
"Ya wouldn't be able to do experiments if you're stuck there and impaled," Raez reminds, which makes Wiley gasp very loudly.
"A crime."
