"Honestly, I think Han's doing a better job at exposure therapy than I am." Nori commented.

"Don't say that." Bishop shook her head. "You are doing wonderfully, Nori. I still-" It was like Bishop wished for this, but a car hit the horn. Bishop lowered her head, raising her hands slightly towards her ears. The horn went off as soon as it started. Bishop looked around to the young teenager who was apologizing for hitting the horn.

Nori did have to admit, Bishop was getting better with the sounds. She still had a long way to go before being comfortable around a car when the horn was going off. But seeing her barely cover her ears, Nori knew that one day Bishop would get to that place. She might never drive, but she wouldn't be scared of the sound anymore.

"He was making out with somebody." Nori chuckled. "His back hit the horn."

Bishop cracked a small smile. "I guess meeting up here to make out or to fuck is better 'cause no one's paying attention." Bishop commented as she looked over to the car in question.

Nori stood next to his car, patiently waiting for his turn to race. Bishop leaned her body against it while people admired the engine to Nori's car. They both heard the chatter from the group who were going around, looking at all the cars in the garage. Nori placed his arm behind Bishop, leaning into her. "How are you and Han?"

To be honest, Bishop wanted to say it was complicated. She had planned on inform Nori about what went down, but at the moment, Mr. Nobody wanted her to keep her mouth shut about Elle. The only person who "knew" about Elle was Benjamin, and that was just for the forgeries he needed to complete for Bishop. However, Bishop wanted to use Nori as a therapist for Elle.

When Bishop lost her parents, therapy was never offered to her. Or at least that was what her adopted parents said. Bishop figured that they didn't want to admit that Bishop needed help processing what really happened to her. She didn't want Elle to go through the same thing, she wanted Elle to be able to talk about that attack freely.

"We're fine."

"Fine?" Nori questioned. "Still sleeping with him?"

Bishop looked at Nori before crossing her arms against her chest. She looked across the way to Han. Bishop could see he was entertaining Takashi's "friends" - but at the same, he was barely giving them the time of day. The women around him weren't being their overly touchy selves as of late, which Bishop didn't mind. When it came to races, Han made the rule that they didn't acknowledge each other. Being a part of the Yakuza, Han wanted to keep Bishop out of their line of sight. Bishop didn't mind the arrangement, just as long as she kept herself away from Takashi.

Bishop nodded her head. "Yep."

Nori chuckled. "Friends with benefits always confused me." Nori was happily in a relationship with an employee of the Agency. They could go home and relax without the worry of lying to the other person. Nori was unaware that Han actually knew about the Agency and that Bishop was an agent. "But what confuses me more is how you are able to keep this from him."
