[ Oria laughs after seeing a bit of pink on Sinclair's face. ]

You don't think about anything when you read books?

[insinning]

[Hmph]

I do, but it's not the same type of thinking.

[dissimulative]

What do you mean? Is it like the kind of thinking that puts you in the zone like with that one book you were obsessed with back in Fragment?

[ Never gonna let that go. ]

[insinning]

Mm, like I'm lost in a different world. [OH] Actually, you know I found a copy of that book at a second hand store?

[He was so happy]

[dissimulative]

Oh.

[ Does he really have to be jealous of a book outside of the game too!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ]

I bet you're having a blast with it.

[insinning]

I am. [He's still oblivious to this, rip] I didn't think I'd find it again after all.

[dissimulative]

It's not like one of the players wrote it, so that book would have existed...

[ Hmph. Oria still doesn't see what makes that book so special to Sinclair. ]

[insinning]

Yeah, that's true. I'm still glad though. [Sinclair leans into Oria and takes his hand. Oria is lucky Sinclair didn't bring the book with him for some light reading] A few more rounds around the park before we go shopping?

[dissimulative]

[ Honestly, if someone brought a book to their date, Oria would probably be offended because that would imply that the date is so boring that you'd rather read? Hello?? Insulting.

He firmly holds his hand. ]

Wanna race some laps?

[insinning]

[Reading is for long commutes, Oria!! Commutes! Like the plane ride over where Sinclair was deeply worried they'd all be banned from the airport. He grins]

Sure. What's the goal?

[dissimulative]

First to run three laps around the park wins! Touch that pole for it to count as a lap.

[ He points to a streetlamp pole over yonder. Pretty easy, right...? ]

You ready?

[insinning]

Ah. Ready. [How fast can Oria go...?]

[dissimulative]

Ready, set--go!

[ Oria zooms. He doesn't need to ramp up speed for too long either, since it looks like he knows how to do that well without tripping. It's a pretty important skill for him to ramp up speed quickly because he needs to get from place to place. He even kicks off the fence from the side to change directions and nyoooom. ]

[insinning]

Ah--wait a second--

[ Sinclair yelps and nearly trips as he tries to speed up as he skates after Oria]

[dissimulative]

[ Oria skates backwards to see Sinclair. It really is pretty unfair to challenge him to a race... ]

Hey, be careful!

[insinning]

I am being careful--

[ Sinclair will pout a little because he doesn't want Oria taking it completely easy on him and manages to stabilise his next attempt at picking up speed. This is harder for sure]

[dissimulative]

[ Oria sees Sinclair's attempt and goes back to facing the front as some sort of courtesy. He keeps skating ahead, reaching the pole to finish his first lap. Then he kicks off from the pole to get a head start for the second lap.

But still, Oria isn't leaving him in the dust. ]

[insinning]

[ Hmmm, he wonders if he can copy that burst of speed somehow...

Sinclair glances at a ramp grimaces, but he does go a little off course to take the small ramp from before to speed himself along. He wont win but he's determined not to lose pitifully.]

[dissimulative]

[ It's definitely copyable! In fact, it uses the most basic moves, so as long as Sinclair has the balance for it, he can definitely pull it off.

Oria has to pause for a moment to avoid collision with another skater, but after that, he resumes. ]

[insinning]

Come back here--

[ Sinclair lets gravity help him close the distance. With how Oria had to stop, he's a definitely close enough to grab Oria if he lets him]

[dissimulative]

[ Oria wasn't aware that Sinclair had caught up so quickly, so when his shoulder is grabbed, he's startled. ]

Wha--Emil? Already?!

[insinning]

What? [ Oria gets an impish smile. That's what he gets for taking it too easy on Sinclair.]

[dissimulative]

You caught up so fast!

[ And now he's trying to get awaaaay from Sinclair, but that doesn't do much when he has him by the shoulder. ]

[insinning]

You slowed down.

[Sinclair will let go, because he really can't hold on like this, but he's definitely having fun with the face Oria is making at him]

[dissimulative]

[ Rude!! Oria speeds away the moment he's let go. Hmph!! Bye Sinclair...

It looks like he's about to crash into someone, but he just swerves around the incoming person without effort. He seems very used to this... ]
