[ It had taken some trial and error learning the basics of handling the motorcycle without it pitching to one side or the other, but Fern's near-collision with Verso (and watching him careen into a ditch) has oddly filled her with some amount of confidence. She's felt that spike of terror at the potential of a crash into another vehicle and there's an strange sense of relief in having gotten it out of the way already.
That, and the more that she rides the easier it comes to her. Going so fast is mildly terrifying, but there's also a bit of a thrill in it.
Kaine may not have been wrong when he insisted that a car was far safer, but Fern can't help but feel that this suits her better. She may not be fond of that Yom Crook, but she'll admit that this had been the right choice for her.
It doesn't make her any happier about the fact that she's in a foreign land (again) and alone on top of it all, but as she drives down the road toward civilization, there's a moment of strange calm that washes over her.
Until she spots two cars pulled to the side of the road, causing her to slow down her vehicle as she senses some trouble. She isn't certain if she should stop; it's just as possible that this is all a setup, a means of manipulating her instinct to help those who might be in trouble.
But then she spots a familiar figure; hears a familiar voice.
And she fully applies the brake, causing the wheels of her tires to squeak against the asphalt, once again generating that terrible burnt smell similar to when Verso crashed. ]
Adrian?!
[ She can't hide the shock in her voice. Not that she should be so surprised to see him here, if she's right and this is Strahd's doing. So there she sits, still sporting the bandages wrapped around her head wound as she balances on her idling bike and stares.
(She's barely even registered the other man, just yet.) ]
