Usually he's happy to bristle in return when she fixes him with such overt hostility, but there's just something different about it this time. It could be the thrill of having her in his court for once, where he gets to be the one who knows what's going on while she's still catching up, but it's probably not anything that mean. She's unsure, and suspicious, and it just makes the annoyance look... well, kind of adorable.
He's still grinning when the Ducati lets off a loud purr, all that power cranked up with each twist of the handle. Yeah, it suits her. Aeryn Sun, Peacekeeper Commando, who treats her prowler like her baby, always quick to be honest about her skill in the pilot's seat. He could see her on a bike like this one, tearing up Route 66.
"There you go," he enthuses, humming with his own excitement. It's beautiful. The bike, he means. "The harder you twist, the faster you'll go. You'll probably want to keep this dial right here around thirty or forty your first time, just until you get the hang of it. You're dealing with a standard gravity planet, about 9.78 metres per second squared, so you're going to have more resistance than you would behind the wheel of your prowler. But you know how to drive land-based vehicles, right? It's just about balance on this one."
