[ Samus lifts her hand off her bike to demonstrate and curls her wrist back in the air, miming the motion if she were still holding on. The effect also gets demonstrated as the engine in her bike hums and the machine starts to slow down even further. Fern might notice her weave the bike back and forth in a serpentine motion to keep balance until she gets her hand back on the throttle. With more speed the serpentine motions become wider and her bike more upright. Easing off the throttle is a good way to slow down slowly. She also won't scold Fern if she feels she needs to touch the ground with her feet or waddle it like a duck. ]
Or, use the breaks. There's two levers in front of your fingers. One for front breaks, they're the strongest. The other are rear breaks, they stabilize. [ It's not universal what side is for what, left or right, depending on whoever made these bikes. Samus gets the impression they've been cobbled together over time, made and remade, but the bare bones functions should be all the same. Fern will definitely feel which breaks are which is which if she experiments. If she pulls the front break too hard and sudden she might feel the rear of her bike lurch up like it might threaten to flip her over the handle bars like an unruly horse. If she pulls too hard and sudden on the rear her tire might lock up and skid, making her feel like she's riding on ice. Balance is key. ] Pull on both gently at the same time if you need to stop quickly.
[ Samus continue to adjust her pace with Frey if she experiments with either method, occasionally looking around her to see if their dust trails are catching anyone's attention out here. It's some relative comfort if they seem to have this entire area to themselves to safely practice. ]
