[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~]

[ Best thing ever. ] Maybe tomorrow... Or after lunch. [ Just as planned! ]

[ Of course. :3 It's not like they neeed to carry weapons! ]

[axeofoath]

[He has better pets than anyone~] That will not be a problem! Oh, Young Master--w-will you try parallel parking behind that car? [Tyr knows him so well! Gremio points to a parked car several meters ahead of them.]

[No at all! Tyr's staff is just a multi-purpose tool!]

[stargathering]

[ He does! They do way more for him than normal pets! At Gremio's suggestion, he's a little apprehensive, but nods. ] Sure... [ And he slows even more and tries to park behind the car without hitting it or the car that would be behind them or going on the curb (oh he can hear Gremio's spazzing already) or... whatever else could go wrong. ]

[ yes! It can get bugs out of logs! ]

[axeofoath]

[Way, way more! And Gremio is definitely a little fretty even if he's the one that suggested it (but they had to!). He manages not to panic too much, even though he considers it a nerve-wracking experience! Still, Tyr pulls it off. As expected, of course!] Ah...V-very good, Young Master! I don't believe you'll have much to worry about. J-just be careful like that, all right?

[stargathering]

[ Tyr thinks Gremio means to tell him to drive like an old lady (but he probably wouldn't have had any qualms about nudging the other cars if Gremio wasn't there). ] All right, Gremio. ...Do you want to walk back from here or keep going?

[axeofoath]

[It would be almost tempting to leave it at that for the day and walk back, but Gremio knows that wouldn't be suitable for Tyr's training!] Let us keep going...Unless you wish for a break, of course!

[stargathering]

[ Tyr shakes his head. ] Let's keep going until lunch time... This isn't so bad.

[axeofoath]

That's a good plan. All right, you can get in lots of practice until then! [He's glad Tyr's so diligent!]

[stargathering]

[ Tyr actually laughs. Oh, Gremio, you're so cheerful. ] That's right. I'll be a master by the time I take Katara out later, right?

[axeofoath]

[Yes, of co--waitwaitwait-] ...Y-you're taking her out later? T-today? In the car?

[stargathering]

Yep. You're okay with that?

[axeofoath]

Ah, ah...Sh-should I come, as well?

[stargathering]

It won't be necessary. [ That's a delicate no. ]

[axeofoath]

A-are you certain? I can sit in the backseat! [You mean Tyr doesn't want Gremio along on their date?]

[stargathering]

It's fine. You can start dinner while we're away. [ Unthinkable, isn't it? ]

[axeofoath]

Ah, i-if you wish--You won't stay out too long, will you? [Yes! He's just maybe a little wee bit concerned.]

[stargathering]

I'll be home before dinner is on the table. Katara can stay over in my room, too, if it's really late.... [ Poor Gremio. ]

[axeofoath]

I-in your...She can sleep in my room--[Oh, Ted's in there. What to do, what to do?] W-well, I suppose we could put her in Luc's room, and he can sleep on the couch. [Teenage Tyr brings so many worries!]

[stargathering]

Luc's room? I wouldn't even sleep in Luc's room. [ Really, Gremio. ] And if Luc took the couch, where would you sleep? There's nothing wrong with us sharing a room.

[axeofoath]

A-ah, well, I could sleep on the floor for a night--b-but Young Master, t-together in your room...!

[stargathering]

I'd rather force Luc to sleep on the floor. But Gremio, you don't think I'll do something cruel to her, do you?

[axeofoath]

[Skipping the part about leaving Luc on the floor--Gremio might be all right with that--he immediately flounders, the very idea so absurd in his mind.] A-a-absolutely not, Young Master! I would n-never think such a thing!

[stargathering]

[ They're both so mean to Luc. ] Then why do you see this as a problem? I doubt she would complain herself.

[axeofoath]

[Yep. :<] I...I know you two are in a relationship, h-however...t-to share a room overnight...

[stargathering]

[ Poor brat. ] I'm glad you're fine with it.
