[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.]

[ She snatches them out of the air with a snort. ] You be vigilant. I'm here to wi—

[ Wait.

Wait. ]

This was a stupid challenge, wasn't it! [ slowryuko.jpg ]

SHUT UP SHES DUMB

[Satsuki lets out a small, 'tchh' noise of surprise. Her features soften and her eyebrows drop some.]

What did you think it was?

I thought you were just bein'... y'know... you!

[ Aka Satsuki Kiryuuin: caterpillar-eyebrowed bitch, not Satsuki Kiryuuin: big sis. Such a rude assumption to make after all this time, but it's not like either of them are above antagonizing the other for kicks. ]

I don't know how to be anyone but.

[She leans on the bike's handlebars, expression thoughtful.]

I'm insulted you think I'd commit such a reckless action without good reason. [After all, that's quintessential: Satsuki would never do such a thing.]

Edited 2015-09-17 02:58 (UTC)

Pissin' me off seems like a good reason.

[ Well, she's not wrong. Ryuko certainly needs no better reason for half the things she does. ]

... I'll teach you some other time, if you're serious. [ Stroppy baby. ]

You seem fond of flinging that accusation. One day, I'll have to follow through on it.

[How insulting. Pissing Ryuko off has always been a tertiary motivation at best - a bonus. Sprinkles.]

I'm sure I'm a natural if you are.

I'm not so sure...

[ Wow, Ryuko. Don't doubt your sis. ]

Maybe you should get your own bike. Y'know, just in case. [ Is she doing a bit of trolling in revenge? She's probably earned it. ]

I should be insulted, but I can see I've hurt your pride.

[That's just a challenge to get a faster, more muscular bike. It's her job to come back with something more impressive, time and again.]

I'm happy to cut my own path, if you insist.

You didn't hurt jack shit, Kiryuuin.

[ Yeah, Satsuki definitely hurt her pride. She's also going to be Mad As Hell if Satsuki shows up with some beast of a thing, but that's all the more reason to do it. ]

Guess we'll see if you can handle it. I'll be waitin'.
