⠀⠀⠀ the racer simply smiles at the concern, and she picks up the bag nestled to the lap of the commentator, placing it in the back.   it was quick enough, and it gave prince the perfect chance to rest their outstretched arm on the back of Rosa's headrest.   ``     if it was a problem, I wouldn't have offered --   besides,  it won't take too long,  ``     she  winks,  reversing herself back onto the road with ease.     ``   you alright to guide me? I don't ..exactly know your address.  ``    she laughs, adjusting back into her seat as she finally faces forward, one hand on the wheel and the other nestled upon the gear stick. 

@princharmings,                yeah! just home.            ⋆ the commentator confirms, offering two quick nods as she slides into the car. she settles easily, buckling her seatbelt because of course, she’s a good passenger! her bag goes on her lap, and she turns to look at prince.  ⋆             it’s.. really not any trouble, is it? í wouldn’t want to extend your own trip home just because i was careless enough to forget to bring an umbrella.

       prince opens the door to her car,    leaning over the passenger seat to do so.     ``    it's a bit of a bend to get in, mind your head, alright?   ``   she warns, sitting back upright in the drivers seat.    ``  where were you headed?  home?     `` 

         ``    nah, it was nothing .. really!  I wasn't even sure that would even work --   i think there were some crazier drivers out there today, though. I barely held that spotlight 'til the last lap--   ah,  thank you, though.  it's appreciated .. as always !    `` 

@princharmings,                oh! oh, no — this is great! anything’s fine, really. it was only eventful because of you, prince! that move you pulled.. just, WOW.

@lunaefall       ⟢ ͡         he—?    uh.. yes, prince had just left, turned in his bike but he shouldn’t be far. i could give that to him, if you’d like.

@mechanim,                 oh, um- i was looking for prince! if you’ve seen him around.. he says he comes here sometimes? he left something, so i wanted to give it back to him..

@lunaefall       ⟢ ͡         sorry, but—? this is my repair shop, are you looking for vyn.

      ``     ahaha ... i wouldn't want to kill a girl like you,  sorry,  I'll keep it to myself, alright?  Just know I'm thinking it when you speak, though.    `` 

@princharmings,               stop..!! stopstopstop or i’m gonna die of.. of something! i don’t know. you gotta stop with the flattering or you’re going to have actually killed a girl! 

     ``     you'ee sweet, that gets you flustered?   I really could listen to you for hours --     I always make sure to tune in to the other races to hear you.       `` 

@divineye,           by the next cycle, i believe. i'll have to leave you be then, don't miss me too much. hm?

"yes,  i recall.   when would it be your turn?"

@divineye,           it is. we take turns, remember?

@divineye,            ⋆  she's silent for a moment. then her hand cups to crisanto's cheek. it was not a tight grip, merely.. resting there, their skin touching with the slightest possible contact.  ⋆            every creature that walks this earth has their value, from the smallest bird to the dragon sovereigns themselves. and you are the same, dear crisanto.. how could you be unworthy? if anything, i think you are all the more precious.            ⋆  and her thumb rubs against its cheek, gentle. comforting.  ⋆

'i would only look and stand to your presence once i have proven myself worthy to you alone.'   is what it wanted to convey,   yet,   they could not.
            
            
            "i...   simply deem myself unworthy of your grace." ⠀ the elf spoke instead,   almost solemn in a way.   still refusing to gaze directly towards the heavenly woman's features.

@divineye,           and why not, hm? all are equal under the heavens' gaze.. why shouldn't it be the same for you?

@divineye,           i am well, as always. as are my sisters, and you?           ⋆  aria smiles, her lips curling with sweet delight.  ⋆

"(?)  no,  that is──–  not what i had meant." ⠀ a fleeting flush of pink,  yet it shortly dissipates. ⠀ "how is one faring?"

@divineye,          can i not come visit you, crisanto?
