[Hakkai is sitting in his Jeep, one hand on the wheel, the vehicle stopped on what looks like a grassy plain. His other hand is waving at the Hitomi, as if personally greeting someone rather than making a public post for anyone to see

[For some reason, Light's finding it more difficult to keep up his usual cheery mask. Misa's off in the next room, at least.]

[Hakkai chuckles softly, shrugs his shoulders.]
Would you like to take a ride sometime? I could show you the countryside!

[It's true - though he's planning more for what he'll do if someone tries to kill him, for whatever reason. Or throws magical fireballs at him.]
But you don't know how much you'll make, hm? Not much custom?

Um, actually, it's not so much like I don't have many customers as that I haven't started yet. That's what the video was for.
[He smiles sheepishly, gives a nervous chuckle.]
As for the healing, a broken arm would be easy enough to fix, as long as I'm not exhausted or anything. Pretty much I heal using my own 'chi' energy, so it does wipe me out a bit, but... I've healed gunshots and all manner of injuries...
[The dead, he can't do anything for. And there have been times... he's not perfect, he's not a god. He's not Hazel. But... he does what he can.]

But instead of talking with Hakkai and seeing if she can work with him or something, she gets annoyed and starts talking down to him. It's not a dangerous anger, though. It's more like a dragon temper tantrum.]
Why would anyone ask for help with transportation? There are other, much better means of getting around this country.
[The implication there is that she would be better, because she honestly thinks she would be.]
And besides, distance is not normal here. You can get anywhere within the hour if you will it so.

There's a scuffle, and then the man is leaning into the picture, trying to talk over the excited chirping of the little dragon.]
Apparently my friend is rather excited to see another dragon, I'm sorry.
[He flails a bit at the creature, shooing him.] Jeep, LET ME TALK, PLEASE?
[A shake of the head, but the dragon sulkily relents, moving to the top of Hakkai's head and tugging at his hair as he tries to respond.]
I'm sure someone will be interested, anyway. A few of the locals have expressed interest at least, and Jeep is a bit of a novelty.

He changed form!
[But once the surprise has passed, Iskierka is very interested in finding out how he does it. If it is some ritual, rather than an ability granted by birth, she wants to know. This may or may not have something to do with her wish to try being human for a day.]
How did he do it? Was there some kind of magic involved?

He doesn't know if this dragon could understand Jeep or not, but he's not sure if Jeep's secret, even if it could be given away, is a good thing to have out there.]
I don't know, honestly. He doesn't speak human languages, not really. And he's had this power as long as I've known him, which has been a couple years now.

Mr. Hakkai, was it? I'm Allen Walker.
In regards to your, um... 'vehicle' - have you thought about working for some of the traders? I know they often look for people to get their wares quickly and safely between villages.
[Ahaha. He might be selling himself out of his profession, but the idea is intriguing and... it would be helpful for everyone, right?]
Reply
Why thank you! I hadn't thought of that idea yet, no. I suppose I should speak more to the locals.
[He nods his head a little.]
It's very nice to meet you, Allen Walker. And I appreciate your advice. So far I've been mooching a bit off my friend Goku, so it's definitely time I get some gainful employment... and maybe that would be a little more stable than relying on others like ourselves from different worlds.

But oh. The name makes him blink for a moment.]
You're friends with Goku? I didn't realize. I know him. He's also friends with someone I know. Dre Parker.

Goku has been my friend for several years. He's been amazing to me since I came here, as well.
[He doesn't know what he'd have done without Goku here, really.]
Isn't Dre that kid with the hair... [Hakkai takes a strand of his hair and pulls it back, as if trying to show Allen what he means.] He's very young, isn't he?
