it's blinding

Sora — 25, waterbender, insatiable.

“Maybe, but most things are at least worth trying to save.” Shrugging, Ru hastily tried to wave off the attempt at paying him back. “I’m not really the sort to even say that odds need to be evened out. The universe isn’t mad at you.”

“Eh,” she neither agreed nor disagreed, mirroring his shrug to let the notion pass. “It’s not?” she snorted, not unkindly.  You speak for the Universe then? I didn’t know I was in the present of such greatness.” Sora dropped into a comically low bow. The tips of her black hair brushed the ground before she flashed a smile, a wink, and straightened her back. “What else does the Universe have to say to me?”

“I mean, even if it was rabid, it might not be beyond saving just yet, and maybe there’s something I could do for it.” Ru knew his way of thinking wasn’t exactly what most people had in mind. He was selfless to a detriment. 

“I’m no vet, but I don’t think that’s how rabies works, bud.” Sora couldn’t help but smile. Stupid, she decided. Definitely stupid. It was for the best, she preferred that in the company she kept. “Anyway, I owe you for the near-death thing. I’m scant on money, but surely I can give you something to even out the universal odds or whatever.”

“M-me?!” Vy laughed nervously. “I..uh..I don’t know. I’ve never done that before. I don’t..maybe I can do something else?”

“Of course you can do something else, but why wouldn’t you want to do something you hadn’t done before?” Sora didn’t mean to be rude, though she often was. She simply couldn’t fathom saying no to something new and exciting because she’d never done so herself. “I mean, I could buy you a tea instead, but you’ve probably already had tea today if not already this week, and you’ll probably have some tomorrow, too. But riding a motor bike...”

“I still don’t see a downside to that.”

“Not even with the rabid beardog? Really?” Sora’s eyebrows raised high, her forehead creasing. “Huh,” she considered him. “Alright. Yeah, you’re alright. Bit of nerve—or maybe just stupid—either way I dig it.”

“Uh..” Vy ultimately shrugged. “She looks great. I don’t see much bikes running around, so I might not be the best judge. It is really good to look at.”

“Hmm.” Sora pondered this for a moment, trying to decipher what it was she’d hoped the girl would say. “Alright,” she settled on, breaking into a grin. “Then do you want to ride her? Think of it as a consolation invitation, ya’know, for almost killing you.”

She nodded, amused at the other’s enthusiasm. “That makes sense. I think smoking is only good when it comes to food, and sometimes that’s not even good, either. I don’t have any formal mechanic training, as well, so..I can’t say much beyond aesthetics.”

“And?” she prompted, eager eyed. “How’s she look? Here standing still and when barreling at you quickly on the street? Too much flare? Not enough? If you saw her without me, who do you picture riding something that looks like this?”

“I could form a simple yes and no system to make it easier. One blink yes, two blinks no.”

“Unless whoever you’re talking to misinterprets yes for no and vice verse. You could end up agreeing to just about anything that way. Like giving away your shoes even though you have a mile left to walk home. Or giving a ride to an unbecoming hitchhiker, his rabid beardog, and three gallons of his favorite ale.”

Vy let out a laugh, amused at the whole situation. She was just trying to move away from a seller that was a bit..insistent. She didn’t have time to survey the surroundings, let alone move fast enough to get out of the motorbike’s way. She stared at the bike itself. “Well, I’m thankful for that.” She replied. “It’s a nice bike, by the way.”

Sora’s eyes lit up. The only thing she liked half as well as riding her motorbike (this week, anyway. Her interests never stuck with one thing for too long), was talking about her motorbike. “Thanks! I built it myself. Well, sort of. It worked well enough when I got it cheap, but it works better now and that counts for something. I’m not exactly a formal mechanic, but I can figure most of it out. Trial and error, ya know. If it starts smoking it’s probably wrong and you need to try something else.”

He looked down, appraising his black coat. She did have a point, however ridiculous it was in the circumstance. In fact, Ru hadn’t realized when his wardrobe had changed. The clothes he used to wear were all hand-sewn, their colors light and welcoming. Not quite the ideal outfit for someone simply trying to get through a days work.

“How about I just mount a light to my head, I’m sure I could also use it as a form of communication.”

“Could you? Bold of you to assume anyone you’d want to talk to knows Morse code.”

Ru had watched the whole scene play out in front of him, and like with most things, he took it in stride. The city was an easy place for accidents to happen, and while many people faltered in the chaos, Ru had managed to find a sense of peace. 

“I can be easy to miss,” Ru replied simply, a small smile on his sharp face. Most would claim him to be intimidating, even scary. The truth was, he just didn’t have much to say, and a lack of words often made people uncomfortable.

“Sure can be. And that color isn’t helping.” Sora gestured towards his clothes. “You could go for a reflective vest next time. Or keep a few pet glowflies.” She looked him up and down, nodding. “Yeah, glowflies should do it. Or I could just be more careful, but... well, we’ll just say that I’ve tried that before and obviously it hasn’t worked. I don’t know anything about you or how responsible you might be, but I’d still put money on it being more likely you’d stick with it than I would.”

Kida blinked, looking between the motorbike and its owner, back to the motorbike then its owner again, frowning. “Despite the fact it was me you almost ran into, I genuinely can’t tell if you’re talking to me or your motorbike.”

Sora snorted her sharp laugh. “I meant you. Esmeralda here—that’s the bike—doesn’t deserve an apology after the way she’s been falling apart lately. Can you believe this is the third time this week I’ve had her in for repairs?” Sora smacked the bike lightly again, and a screw fell loose, rolling down the pavement. “Ah, that’s embarrassing. Don’t pay any mind to that. Say, you wouldn’t happen to know where, uh,” She looked down at a smudged black ink mark on her palm. It seemed like once upon a time it could have been an address, but now was about as useful as a Rorschach test. “Terrace Street? Yeah. Do you know where Terrace Street is?”

“Yes, no, okay, I might have been going a bit fast. There was no one around though. Well, I mean, you were of course. But I didn’t see you. Well, that’s a bad example. Point is, I’ve got great reflexes, and I did stop in time, didn’t I? You’re all in one piece, see.” Sora patted the seat of her motorbike lovingly, giving an animated sigh.

Hey y’all :) 

I’m Melissa & this is Sora. She’s a 25y/o waterbender from a super small Island tribe of benders. The tribe is matriarchal, and her mum is the chief leaving Sora next in line. But she’s not super excited about that, because it’s a really small place without a lot of outside contact and she’s too much of a wild spirit to be kept locked in. Right now she’s traveling the world for a year as part of her ~training~ to take on her mum’s role one day, but now that she’s left she doesn’t know if she wants to go back. Yikes. 

I, on the other hand, am a slave to retail. I love my cat and my plants, and am around on mobile a lot but my replies do tend to come slowly as I juggle a fulltime job/traveling etc. I’m also super musically inclined and inspired, so don’t be surprised if I drop songs in your inboxes that remind me of your bbs. Eeeek, excite!
