Grinning brightly, Ali steps forward to ask her question, setting her bag down at her feet as she does so. "In a hypothetical situation, because I really don't want him to get grumpy about this, let's say you know someone who's very stuffy and doesn't like to admit he has a sense of humor. If you were to get said person to not only laugh, but

"Oh, you should celebrate the breaking of him." She smiles slightly.

[vicioussweetie]

"But not so he'd find out, of course..."

[ladymargolotta]

"Oh, definitely not. That vould be cruel. And foolish."

[vicioussweetie]

"And he'd never have me over for tea then...hypothetically."

[yearofthekitty]

"It's a cause for celebration. But in a quiet way so you don't scare him out of doing it again."

[vicioussweetie]

"Two votes for celebrating. Thank you."

[2day_4u]

Angel grins back at this girl. "That deserves celebration. Hypothetically," she says. "I don't know much about driving. Nobody drives in New York."

[vicioussweetie]

"And yet there are all those cars..."

[2day_4u]

"That's why no one drives. There's too much traffic."

She smiles impishly. "So what's the verdict? Did you break him, or is it a breakthrough?"

[vicioussweetie]

She grins back. "I see. I think a breakthrough. Provided he doesn't go back to hiding it all..."

You have to take a class-- it's part of driving law in most states now. I think most of them require like 30-odd hours in an approved classroom program and 6-odd with the school's instructor on the road. Sasha and Mortimer could handle the rest of the road time you'll need, though.

I had to do a ridiculous number of driving hours for mine, and I don't even use it!

((Massachusetts Driving Manual, chapter on how to obtain a license.. since Ali's under 18, she'd need to follow the JOL steps-- 30 hours class, 6 with the class's driving instructor, and 12 hours beyond that with a mentor. She's lucky, though-- Maryland has the same class requirements, but requires 60 hours with a mentor.))

[vicioussweetie]

((She is 18, sweetie. ^.^ I'm impressed you looked that up though.))

"Well, yes, but I was wondering more whether it'd be better to have them teach me because they know me, or if I should go just with other teachers because they don't know me."

[paradise_bird]

Might be a good idea to start with other teachers until you get the hang of it, at least.

((Just you wait. A lot of states are also going for all first-time drivers having to follow the same rules. :-P And I coulda sworn she was seventeen. Oh well.))

[vicioussweetie]

((Yeah, well, nobody shoulda given me a license when I was 16. And don't worry about it. Nobody really realizes how old she is, I think.))

"That makes sense."

[prodigalcount]

"Why my dear, I wasn't aware you'd spoken to my father!" the Count teases, before growing serious. "Celebration, I would say.

"And perhaps a mix of both for the second question?"

[vicioussweetie]

"Alas, it was not quite that much of a victory." And no mention that she wouldn't be being nice to his father. Much better to claim one of his hands, if he allows it. "Perhaps. I just don't know."

[prodigalcount]

Of course he allows it, and pulls her just a little bit closer by said hand. "Well, I will say that I learned the basic mechanics of driving from friends, but when I saw fit to obtain a driving license, I had an instructor."

[vicioussweetie]

"That might be a good plan." She's more than happy with this plan, and smiles brightly when he pulls her closer to him. "How are you?"
