[ What a nerd. ]
That's not.. ah, what the hell.
[ She cant even be mad, it's exactly the kind of thing she'd do. Which is probably why she's actually smiling in the picture. ]
Thanks. Guess that's somethin' else we can both tick off. [ And since they're teammates, it's win/win. ] The name's Ryuko. [ Late introduction is late, but better than never. ]

[To be fair, Satsuki isn't doing much to dissuade, the big, taunting jerk reading of her actions. She lays a palm over the handle bars possessively, given them a nice, showy rub. She's certainly quick to start treating the bike like her own.]
You look death in the eye every day on the back of this thing, don't you? I thought I'd give it a try.
You have to act properly to warrant its return.
[Distract Ryuko long enough and she won't be able to complete her own tasks.]

[ Yeah, Satsuki literally has herself to blame for this one. ]
Try askin' next time!
[ She would have lent it to her, probably. Or at least given her a ride. If she's so interested in looking death in the eye, a trip with Ryuko would certainly do the trick. ]
I'm not gonna do shit. You're gonna take your hands off that, right now! [ Close enough to strike. Will this poor, innocent, sweet baby sister be forced to actually take a swing?tune in next time on dragonball z ]

I thought you might teach me how to drive it.
[It's so bald-faced, the way she puts that out there, as if it's really a possibility...as if she knows that it's the likeliest way she'll get to Ryuko emotionally.
It would be just like the old, manipulative Satsuki...except she breaks in her torment, and her smirk softens just a little. Still competitive, still resolute, but cheeky instead of snide. Much harder to punch.]

[ STOP THAT ]
Are you kiddin' me? [ Is she talking about Satsuki's words, or Satsuki's expression? It's a mystery which of the two frustrates her more. ] Oi, get that look off your face. I'm tryin' to be pissed off here.
[ She crosses her arms, annoyed. It's too hard to be mad at a soft sis. ]

[Just as planned. It works like a charm, every time...
But really, crafty as she is, even Satsuki wasn't planning to get off the hook entirely. She's not in the habit of manipulating emotions anymore, so while Satsuki may have planned this entire maneuver well in advance and relied on Ryuko's nobility to save her, it still surprises her that it happened so quickly.]
Maybe it's true that possessions aren't as important to you after all, is that it?

[ Ryuko really needs to stop being so predictable... but it'll never happen. She settles for a glare. ]
Can it. You're doin' this on purpose. [ Duh. ] You're lucky I don't put you through the damn wall.
I want my bike back. And there better not be a scratch on it!

Do you need it right away? I thought I could hold onto it for a while.
As long as your Life Fibers are dormant, you know we aren't on equal ground here.
[No way she's going through a wall any time soon.]
...No. I think I'd better give it back.

Damn right you'd better.
[ Trying to hide her surprise... that went slightly easier than she thought. She's mostly still awkward after having most of her aggression drained away by stupid Satsuki's stupid sisterness, to the point where she doesn't even challenge the comment about her strength. ]
I don't need it right now, but it's mine. Give it back and maybe I'll let you off the hook. [ ~~~maybe~~~ ]

Be vigilant. [She tosses the keys back over. It's a low pitch, but not insulting. She's not gentle about it.]
