[There's the sound of an engine running smoothly, a constant hum as a car moves along a City street somewhere. All seems well, until-]

Y-Young Master, the brake! The brake, quickly--w-watch out for that pothole!

[Gremio's probably too nervous to be a driving instructor to anyone, but that doesn't seem to have stopped him.]

[ooc: Grab bag curse is a genre switch with Tyr~]

[ Tyr doesn't even know why he didn't agree to just pay someone else to teach him, but he's not hitting the brake. ] That pothole's nothing. We won't even feel it.

[axeofoath]

[Gremio probably offered in the first place...] B-but--Young Master, i-it's not good for the car!

[stargathering]

This car isn't that cheap, Gremio. [ Because there's no way they'd buy something that'd just fall apart. ] We'll be fine.

[axeofoath]

W-which is exactly why we must be gentle with it! [Every little pothole will take its eventual toll-!]

[stargathering]

This isn't exactly an antique glass vase; cars are supposed to endure this stuff. [ Whatever Gremio. ...He'll slow down a bit for him, though. ]

[axeofoath]

The car can only endure for so long, Young Master! [Fret, fret--oh, but slowing down actually does calm his nerves a fair amount.]

[stargathering]

Then you should get me a car that can endure more than this. [ Annoyed annoyed. Get me monster truck, Gremio. ]

What are you doing…?

[axeofoath]

[And here, Aska gets a video of the inside of the car as it moves along!]

Oh, ah...I-I'm teaching the young master how to drive a car.

We don’t know what a car is….

[axeofoath]

Ah, I suppose not.

A car is a vehicle you can control that allows you to travel more quickly! H-however, it takes quite a bit of practice to master... [A nervous glance to his side. Please don't drive them into anything, Tyr.]

[laughswithfan.livejournal.com]

Is it fun…? Maybe we can do it!

[axeofoath]

I-it's not supposed to be fun, exactly! And you must be old enough first...

[laughswithfan.livejournal.com]

[Frowns at you. ]

We are old enough!

[Never mind that her feet wouldn’t even come close to hitting the pedals. ]

You will teach us how to do this once Tyr knows how!

[drizzlinginside.livejournal.com]

W- What are you two doing?

[axeofoath]

D-don't worry, ah, too much...W-we're simply working on the young master's driving practice today.

[drizzlinginside.livejournal.com]

Driving? Driving... a what?

[axeofoath]

Oh, a car! It is a motorized vehicle. Is there anything like it in your world, Katara?

[drizzlinginside.livejournal.com]

Um, no... we have vehicles, though, but they're usually powered by bending or animals. The warships are a different case, but I guess Sokka is more of an expert on those than I am.

[axeofoath]

Ah, is that how it is? Vehicles were once animal-driven in our world, too, but cars have become much more commonplace!

[drizzlinginside.livejournal.com]

Really? Tyr hasn't told me anything like that before.

[stargathering]

[ Oh hey he actually cares about that voice. He speaks up so she can hear him well. Definitely this face. ] Is that Katara?

Don't worry; I'm just driving a car. Wanna ride with me later?

[drizzlinginside.livejournal.com]

Yes, it's me. [Have this smile in return.] ... Um, sure. I haven't been in one of these vehicles before, so I'd like to ride one. Especially if you're the one "driving" it.

[stargathering]

[ He's too busy looking forward to see her smile, but everything he needs to know he can hear in her voice. ] Good. It'll be fun: We can go faster in this than you've probably ever gone before.
