"Oh god, oh god, we're going to die" Mae chants as they get that 'lift' to school.

Siv rolls her eyes and takes the turn "Relax... Speed Limits are really more like guidelines..."

"Siv, go faster!"

"Our father who art in heaven" Lupita decides that Gaia is nice, but abandoning Catholicism now might be unwise.

"Huh," Siv smiles, "I can crank out a few more m P H out of this I bet."

"Yes!" Sam grins.

And her car let's loose a small roar ,and kicks it up another 8 miles per hour

"We are going EIGHTEEEN miles over the speed limit now..." Mae points out.

"Ah, you shouldn't have tolld me that. I HAD plausible deniability " SIv tuts but does not slow down "Sides, I've been studying to drive for years."

"STUDYING, to? Isnt' that like, you know, learning to pilot a plane from book reading?" Lupita looks at her

"It's just like sailing..minus the wind, the sails, ohh and instead of an ocean you've got a wee strip of gray, but other than that... " VROOOM over the swell of a small hill

"Aiiiiiee " Mae screams as they leave the ground if only for a few seconds

"Oh darn, getting near the school, now I do have to slow down" Siv sighs and brings it down by 10 miles even though the speed limit dropped by twenty

"Prayers answered" Lupita says

The car comes to a complete stop in the school parking lot "There we go, all of ye out. Shall I get you a ride home then? " as Mae almost LEAPS to the safety of the solid ground outside

"Dad's getting me, can't let him down - but tomorrow?"

"Sure"

Siv beams "How about... Mae? Lupita?" Looks like those two have gotten mroe than fifteen feet away "Oh well I'll offer later"

Siv waves to Sam and her friends as they go, before heading off to her own classes

"There we go... " He says looking over at her, "You may have forgotten a few things on the trip"

"I... we went places..."

"Trees are jerks. Why are trees jerks?"

"SOme of them are really nice, those bad ones I showed you were to show you the dangers of the dreaming fooling you..." he looks amused and glances at fly swatter "Looks like when we left New York you decided to help Spider-Man out."

If she looks at her weapon, a chimera that resembles one of Doctor Octopus' steel tentacles is wrapped around flyswatter, looks like it got severed in half.

"Dude!"

"Let me guess, that's the one you don't remember at all? " Olgar smirks

Siiiiigh. "Not at all."

"Shame."

"Right, let's throw the tentacle in the fire or something..." He shrugs

"Destroy it?"

"Well, you COULD keep it for a while... I guess."

"I wanna show it to Symon."

"Okay, unless it animates and tries to kill someone, I guess no harm in it."

"Sylvi does have a pet zombie hand."

"Heh. Okay. You do know eventually that tentacle will fade right?"

"Well... then no need to burn it, right?"

"Enjoy it while it lasts."

"I kind of figured you might want to keep it" He says "Glad you got a souviner.. look, did you feel like you learned a bit on Roverhood? I mean, it was kind of a rushed lecture"

"A little. I remember you said we will go back another time!"

"That you remember, huh" A nod "Figures. Glad you seemed to get something out of it."

"Well, you told me rules, too..." She squints and nods.

"Good. Now, your dad is still at work. You want to stay here for dinner tonight? or heading to eat at home ? "

"Mmm - home. Tove'll be there."

"with that spiced food you like" He nods

"Tove's the best cook!"

"You know who I'm married to, right?" Raising a brow "I mean, you can't seriously expect me to agree?"

"Well, Kerri is YOUR best cook. Tove is mine."

"Fair" He nods
