Qrow slowly opened his eyes, yawning deeply as he lifted his shoulders a bit to get halfway sat up on their enormous pile of pillows, which was quite comfortable. He was quite careful not to wake Hana, who looked adorable as she was still sound asleep on top of him.

He brought a hand to her head, gently running through her naturally messy looking hair, which was short in seemingly random places. This resulted in a very messy, but not un-cared for look, which he thought suited her quite a bit, and was very cute. Part of her charm.

She made a soft noise and yawned, but didn't open her eyes just yet. She pressed on his chest with her dainty hands, as if making sure he was still there, then she quietly shifted herself up so she could wrap her arms tightly around his neck.

Qrow smiled softly and wrapped one arm around her waist, gently rubbing her back with his other hand.

"Comfortable?" Qrow asked with a soft smile.

"Mhm... You're warm, and it was really lonely all by myself in bed each night..." She said softly.

He nodded. "It is really cozy, being able to cuddle with you again..." Qrow replied as Hana started to get up, straddling his lap. While they were sleeping, the waist ribbon of her robe had come untied, but her chest wasn't exposed just yet.

Hana blushed a little and retied her robe, letting out a soft giggle and giving Qrow a kiss on the cheek before getting out of bed.

"Alright, we've stayed in bed long enough... Time to wake up." Hana teased, and Qrow got out of bed, checking the clock. He had time to shower, get dressed, eat some breakfast, and head to rehab, which is exactly what he did. It took him a good minute to remember some of the details of driving, and how to control his monster of an engine, which liked to take off on the inexperienced, but after a moment, he got his Camaro going safely, and headed off to rehab. While on his way, he noticed a familiar looking Supra... But it couldn't be whatever was trying to come to mind. The Supra was a really common color, and it wasn't too uncommon for some high-society members to have nice cars, especially the Yakuza.

He headed inside, stretching as he was greeted by his Physical Therapist.

"This is your last day of this and you'll be good to go back to your normal life again. You ready?" The therapist said.

"As I'll ever be. Let's get this over and done with. I've got something I need to do once I'm finally finished." Qrow said.

The trainer nodded and the two of them got to work on exercises for the next few hours.

In the meantime, Evelyn headed out of the apartment, going to meet up with a friend of hers she had met while Qrow was in a coma.

It didn't take long for Karol to show up, pulling up in her Mustang.

"Hey Ev, how's it going? Heard your brother got out of the hospital recently." Karol said.

"Mhm. I can tell you about it in a bit. Where we headed?" Evelyn asked, hopping in shotgun.

"I'm gonna drop you off at the parts store so you can get some good pieces to put in a little something I got you." She replies, tossing Ev a key with a tag.

Evelyn grinned and leaned over to give Karol a brief hug, and they drove off to the parts store to start getting all the parts she'd need to start working on the car Karol got for her.

They arrived at the parts store, with Evelyn's black 1969 Camaro Yenko waiting outside.

She picked up a box to examine it, when another guy with black hair and some edgy rockstar ear piercings walked up and handed her a different product she had overlooked.

"If you're after what I think you are, you'll like this better. It's a pretty underrated brand but I find it gets the job done much better than the others." He said.

"Thanks. You seem to know what you're doing. Mind helping me out with some other things?" She asks. "My name is Evelyn, nice to meet you." She added.

"Name's Royal, and it's nice to meet you too. Have you built cars before?" Royal asked.

"I haven't, so any input you could provide would be amazing, thanks." Evelyn replied, smiling sweetly to him.

"First I would recommend swapping out that four speed transmission for a six speed. As for engine parts, the block in your car is cast iron, as well as the heads. Swapping the heads out with aluminum ones saves you some weight and adds more power. Maybe a bigger crank? Forged pistons... Definitely gonna need some aftermarket spark plugs so the fuel can burn faster, and if you want 'em, either turbos or super chargers... Oh and a new clutch for the six speed, and of course NOS." He replies with a smug grin.

"Thanks for the help." Evelyn giggled and gave him a little playful kiss on the cheek as she looked around, knowing exactly what she'd need to work on her car.

She picked up all the parts she needed, including two turbos she needed for a launch control system, and pulled out her phone to call Qrow.

He had just stepped out of a nice refreshing shower when Evelyn gave him a call. "You still remember how to work on cars right? A friend got me a car, and I bought a bunch of parts to replace all the old and rusty parts." She told him.

"Yeah I should be able to do it, no problem. I'll be home in a minute." Qrow replied.

"Thanks bro! I'll see you in a bit." Evelyn replied, hanging up.

Qrow got dried off and dressed, hopping in his car to head home and help Evelyn with her new car. He revved his engine up nicely, heading home, and Evelyn said goodbye to Royal, having the '69 Yenko towed to the garage at their house so Qrow could get to work on it.
