Aiden decided that going from the twenty-third floor all the way down to the ground floor wasn't so bad. She could get down them pretty quick; run down them, skip the last one... easy stuff. What she wasn't looking forward to was making the trip back up. She'd heard that this castle didn't have an elevator, which was pretty upsetting. Maybe she was just spoiled from the elevators that took her up the multiple floors of buildings in New York, but geez, what she wouldn't give for one!
When she finally made it down to the designated meeting spot, she looked for a motorcycle. Her eyes went almost directly to it, considering it was a nice attention-grabbing shade of yellow. Aiden figured the guy standing near it was this Tim Speedle guy, so she walked up to him.
"Hey," she said, extending her hand. "I'm Aiden. And I really hope you're Tim, or else I'm gonna feel like an idiot."
"Then I hope you planned on feeling like an idiot at least once today," the CSI said. He left a long enough pause in between this statement and his next, emphasizing it with a long, blank stare. He smirked. "No, you're right. I'm Speed."
He reached out and took her hand in his. He shook--firm, steady, brief. He let his hand drop back down to his side. "I couldn't suppress it," he gave in way of an apology.
Now, for a moment there, Aiden felt a rush of heat course through her body - the kind you get when, well, you feel like an ass. And before she could say she was sorry for mistaking him for someone else, he verified that he was indeed the right guy. Aiden laughed dryly, and scoffed. "Oh, nice." This guy was a wise-ass. Kinda reminded her of Danny.
She shook his hand, and nodded. "It's alright. I'll forgive ya, since you're bein' nice enough to take me into town. Besides, that was kinda clever. I wasn't really expecting it."
Speed smirked friendly--as friendly as a smirk could get anyway. He nodded once. "Good. I was afraid you'd dump me." His tone was obviously sarcastic and his smirking grin only grew wider with his words.
He gestured towards the motorcycle. "Did you mind riding into town, or would you prefer to walk?"
