[Linda is sitting on a bench in the garden when she activates the feed. she's dressed casually in a coat and jeans, though her right hand visibly has a bandage around it. she looks tired, and she's obviously fallen in some mud at some point today as well]

Anybody else having trouble learning to ride their animals? [there's weariness in her tone. but a thought occurs to her then, and she adds:] Are many people going to be in the race? I know it's optional.

[while the mud is a result of her rocky attempts to learn to ride a "yoshi," her burned hand isn't. it's been a busy day, starting with testing forcefields with Agent K to try to find one like the dome followed by her riding session on the farm. needless to say, relaxing for a bit chatting with friends strikes her as a good way to end an exhausting day]

[Linda tilts her head thoughtfully] Yeah, I think I saw those at the farm, too. If it's what I think it is, big is right! But at least it shouldn't be too hard to stay on.

[because the back of a yoshi is slightly less rider-friendly than she would like]

[vengeance_driven]

It is harder to stay on than a motorcycle, I can tell you that.

[domesheriff]

[she winces on his behalf] Sorry. Hopefully with some practice we'll both be able to start going somewhere that isn't straight back onto the ground.

[vengeance_driven]

Maybe we could practice some together. If nothing else, we would have something good to laugh at.

[domesheriff]

[she smiles at that suggestion] You know, that's not a bad idea. When do you think you'll go back next?

[vengeance_driven]

I can make time. There are not a lot of explorers going out lately.

[domesheriff]

How about tomorrow, then? I'm off at noon.

[vengeance_driven]

Sure. I'll be there. With bells on my bird.

No wait, this does not sound right...

Well... with... no bells and with bird.

[domesheriff]

[she laughs, amused by his struggle with words] See you there, Niko.
