@indomitia    ⟢ ͡      warm   ..nobody is warm here.      [an arm comes up, rushing over his face as if to hide the red tint over his cheeks. eyes narrowing,]     you’re imagining it, get off before i kick you off.

@mechanim,               .. woah, you’re really warm. your face is really red too ⸻

@indomitia    ⟢ ͡      yeay, but not when i’m about to walk home! do you know how weird this looks?

@mechanim,                  you said you didn’t mind!

   ``       yeah,  of course,  corvus..?  oh,  ah --   you can  call me prince, I guess?   it's nice to meet you ..  I normally work on my own stuff, but I'm not really that good at it. it's also just .. a bunch of stuff I don't know.  it's good to know a mechanic so .. I guess that's what this is? finding one ..?     `` 

@princharmings

right! so, umm.. no hard feelings, yeah? OH! i’m corvus by the way, i’m a mechanic! i do repairs and upgrades :3

      ``     oh, you did?    ``  the  cautious expression let up, and a charming, soft smile graved the racers features instead.   she tilted her head,  eyes closing as if to emphasise the smile.    ``    thanks, dude --  I was so worried it wouldn't work. it was a gamble and a bit ..   `` 

@princharmings,               huh? no! no, no no.. i watched your race yesterday and i was just so amazed! that finishing move was so cool ₍₍⚞(˶˃ ꒳ ˂˶)⚟⁾⁾

@cheapwins,                aargh, stop! i’m not a baby!               ⋆  he cries out, whining though the mechanic doesn’t pull away.  ⋆               if you ever get cool bits like this will you give them to me? i’ll make really amazing stuff with them, and you can sell them! great deal, right?

well,  duh.  i wouldn't be handing it over to you so casually just to make you pay for it  [  she ruffled at corvus' hair with a lopsided smile  ]

@cheapwins,                HUH? it's for me? are you serious? this is sooo amazing, i'm getting excited just thinking about what i could make with this.. do i get it for free? do i? (ᗒᗨᗕ)

@indomitia      ⟢ ͡        [he doesn’t push the other away. instead, he only offers a simple roll of his eyes. turning his head so he could take a better look at the other,]       mean? i’m not.

@mechanim,                 what? that’s so sad! you’re soooo mean.                  ⋆  he leans closer to vyn as he speaks, pressing shoulder to shoulder. his reproachful tone doesn’t match the way he snuggles right up to the other mechanic.  ⋆ 

@indomitia      ⟢ ͡        oh, i’m so sorry for your loss.       [vyn finally leaves the wrench onto the table, wheeling it away as if it could offer some sort of clarity when speaking to the other. the ravenette merely rolls his eyes, but he’s ultimately stunned by the unbelievable question.]        i told you i wouldn’t answer that, who asks that anyways?   /you’re ridiculous./ if we were worms, i’d run away from you, how’s that?

¹, ², ³.⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀── ⠀ ⠀another service corvus provides, though not many know of this─ is the ability to sabotage. pay him juust a little extra  (okay, maybe not just a little! but it's worth it)  and maybe he will tinker a little with your desired opponent's car when it's time for their inspection. he makes upgrades with barely a notice, eyes sparkling with the same excitement as when he discovers a new piece of machinery he could put to good use. but you can't really complain.. not when the car does so much better under his practiced hands! and if his customers' vehicles happen to mysteriously malfunction during races, or get into horrendous accidents.. hey, that's not his problem is it? he's only responsible for what happens within the workshop's boundaries. 
            
            oh, well. if only █████ could see the kind of person the boy had become!

¹, ², ³.⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀── ⠀ ⠀the CROW'S NEST is a little shop hidden away on the outskirts of the racing tracks, something you wouldn't know to find unless you already knew it was there. true to its name, it's where corvus makes his home─ as well as where he carries out all manner of vehicle upgrades and repairs. his love for mechanics would instantly become known, watching him work on his passion projects with his tongue sticking out the slightest bit. the only thing is he'll send you away before he starts maintenance on your car─   'let the master work his magic!'   and you would probably have to find a nearby shopping area or cafe to while away the time until he calls you back. that's okay though, because he gives your car back to you good as new! even better than that, even.. its engine will purr easily under your hand like a satisfied cat, controls bending to your will with barely any effort. no wonder so many seek his expertise despite how hard he is to track down.
