Fin swallowed, trying to stop blushing. "I-I'm fine," he told Frei.

Frei blinked, "Wolfe does this when he seems Raven," she commented, sounding a little confused.

Fin blinked at Frei, surprised that she didn't understand such a simple social cue and yet she could drive a motorcycle blind. After awhile he explained quietly, "... Sometimes it happens when you're... with someone you like."

Frei tilted her head, "Like?" she questioned, "You like me... how Ryuji likes Raven?"

"Uh.." Fin muttered, face turning redder. "W-Well, n-not exactly."

Frei paused before shrugging. She pointed to the bike, "Another go?"

Fin swallowed a bit, trying to put his head back on straight. "... Will you stop me from crashing?" he asked quietly.

Frei gave him a slightly annoyed stare which is roughly translated to a 'duh' in Frei terminology.

Fin took a few deep breaths before nodding.

Frei nodded a little, climbing back on the bike.

"Wait..." Laurel said quietly when Nic and her were sitting down to lunch, "Is it true that Long's here?"

So Fin got back on the bike.

--

Nic simply nodded.

Frei continued to train Fin, being rather tough on him but they never crashed.

--

Laurel seemed to be thinking quickly, "But, it's... Yue's brother's bodyguard, right?" she clarified.

Fin eventually started getting used to Frei's teaching style and finally started to learn the basics.

--

Nic nodded again.

Frei was patient with him in her own way.

--

Laurel started to look worried, "Then... won't he try to kill you like everyone else?"

"He'll probably try to kill me," Nic replied calmly.

Once Frei knew he'd got the basics down, she suddenly jumped off.

--

Laurel stared at Nic, eyes filling with terror, "W-What?" Why was he being so calm about this?!
