[ Glancing over at him, Kimiko keeps one hand on the wheel and uses the other hand to try to mime out the series of steps he'd need to carry out to get the bike working. It's optimistic finger puppets, up until the "bike" rides away quickly and smoothly across the dashboard.
So, you know. Just do that, Verso, and you'll be a bike master in no time. Whatever that was.
But it's been about ten seconds since she had her eyes on the road. Glancing back, an unexpected skitter of movement just beyond the hood causes her to panic. The vehicle swerves abruptly, slipping off the deserted highway and into bumpier, less even, sharply descending terrain. She slams on the brake with such force that her foot snaps the pedal and her heel dents the floor of the car. Rather than stopping, the SUV continues to careen out until it slams into a tree; the front bumper all but wraps around with a brittle crunch of metal.
Kimiko has one arm arced diagonally in front of Verso, ideally to keep him safely in place. The other hand is clutching the steering wheel so tight, her knuckles have gone white.
Exhaling sharply, she looks over at him, trying to suss out of he's okay or dead. ]
