[Claire] My GUESS-WHAT-I-FINISHED-CV-AND-WAS-INSPIRED post

[mybrothersseekr]

[Claire can be found crouching next to a motorcycle, various tools and a half-spilled tool box scattered on the ground around her as she does some maintenance work who cares if she hasn't had a bike in years we'll say that she's doing a favor for Trish. She's discarded her white jacket and rolled up the sleeves of her pink shirt, her hands and arms

...You HAD to see this one coming. |D

[tooprettysrsly]

[...I DARE YOU TO TRY NOT TO NOTICE HIM.]

[Especially with the way he's leeeeeaning over the motorcycle, his arms resting on the seat. And oh yeah, totally wearing--and tilting--those sunglasses, just like in the icon.]

Hello, beautiful. ♥ So we meet again...must be fate, huh? ♥

Well. Kind of, sort of... yes?

[mybrothersseekr]

[All right, that gets her attention as she glances up. And a smile. But no visible acknowledgement of the compliment. lol the shaaaaades] Hey, Zelos.

[And then she's back to her work.] I guess if you call being stuck in the same place fate, yeah. [But there is a smile here, too.]

Hee. ♥

[tooprettysrsly]

That sure sounds like fate to me. ♪

[Still smiling--because that Casanova smirk rarely fades when he's around his hunnies, amirite--Zelos eyes both woman and bike approvingly. Because oh yeah, the grease-stained look totally works for Claire.]

Pretty sweet ride you've got here...something wrong with it, or are you just tinkering a little?

[mybrothersseekr]

Just a tune-up. Call it a commission... and the fact that I haven't had much else to do lately.

[And now she's curious] You know bikes?

[tooprettysrsly]

Not exactly. But we do have something kinda similar where I'm from.

[His smile widens, and he looks at her a little obliquely. If he were a chick, he would be batting his eyes. Hell, he still might be, sort of.]

So! Think I could catch a ride once you're done?

[mybrothersseekr]

[The smile turns teasing now, but her answer's delayed as she searches her tools] I haven't ridden in a while, to be honest. Sure you trust me that much?

[tooprettysrsly]

[Oh no no, not the "t-word". It's way too soon for that. Zelos will pretend like he didn't hear it.]

[He gives an offhanded little wave, clearly unconcerned.] If you have enough confidence in your abilities to go for a ride yourself, you can't be that worried about it.

[mybrothersseekr]

[She watches him for a couple seconds, looking warily amused] ...Okay. I'll hold you to it, though.

[tooprettysrsly]

Oh~? That doesn't sound like something I'd mind at all. I'll look forward to it.

[With that, he'll be coming around to her side of the bike, and will drop to one knee beside her tool box.]

Let me know if I can help. A real man can't let a lady do all the work...unless she wants to, I guess.

[mybrothersseekr]

[Okay, that's definitely one way to win her over. She moves over a little for him, holding up a small bowl full of bolts] I just finished tuning the carburetor, so I only have to put it back. If you could hand me the bolts when I need them, that'd save me time.

[tooprettysrsly]

[...Good, something he can definitely do.]

That sounds easy enough.

[Peeling out of his sort of ridiculous gloves, he takes the semi-invitation/opportunity to scoot a little ~closer~ before reaching for the bowl.]

No problem.

[mybrothersseekr]

[And she turns to placing the thing back in the engine, holding out a hand when she needs a bolt] Thanks. Depending on how well you do this, maybe I'll call you up next time, too.

[tooprettysrsly]

[Casually fishing out bolts and handing them to her as she needs them, his tone light and very mock-serious.]

Well, it is a pretty difficult job. Of course you'd want someone who knows what they're doing...someone with some experience.

Feel free to call me anytime, hunny. ♥

[mybrothersseekr]

[She's nearly as mock-serious as she works] Don't get too comfortable. Drop one and you're fired.

[tooprettysrsly]

Well then, good thing swordsmen like me have steady hands, huh?

[Quirks an eyebrow~] ...And you know, I've also been told that I have "magic hands".

I seriously snerked out loud XD

[mybrothersseekr]

[Have an eyebrow back... although it's more of an "oh, brother" look.] And just who told you that?
