Juch let out a snort; it was true, after all, that there was no reason to hurry along if there was no need to. But it was the way she said it that was rather funny, "What's the latest you've ever gotten before?"
"Y'know, if you can get your friends on one of those long bikes, you can pedal them faster to the place you guys wanted to go while avoiding the whole carrying aspect altogether."

“Oh, I’ve missed whole shifts before…” Riki said with a guilty sigh before pepping up again. “But it wasn’t my fault! Or traffic’s,” she explained. “I’ve worked in West City,” she added as if that explained everything and it kind of did. West City was infamous for being destroyed. They were constant victims of super villains and rowdy battles. Most people in that city had missed a shift or two, if their whole work place wasn’t destroyed.
“Oh I tried those once, but I broke them,” she said, not wanting to stop him from suggesting help but the bike pedals couldn’t keep up. “I can’t afford the more expensive ones.”

"West City," Juch repeated, but the drops of sympathy that dripped into his usual casual tone colored it somewhat - if there was one place on Earth that seemed to be a magnet for the galaxy's destructive tendencies, that place was it.
"I've at least heard it had been a while since the last incident," he remarked, scratching his chin. A bubbling brook of melted peppermints was up ahead, and the cool smell wafted towards him.
"The cheap ones will wear out with your energy," he agreed before snapping his fingers, "I'll get you a better one then. If there's something I abhor, it's inefficiencies."

“Of course it would as soon as I start traveling,” Riki said, but smiling good naturally. It was good if people weren’t dying. It might also be a note that she herself might have been a cause for some of its destruction, but that didn’t seem to be her intention when saying it.
“Really?” she asked without thinking to Juch’s offer of buying her a bike. She probably shouldn’t accept gifts from practical strangers but zooming about on a bike like that guy from that anime would be super cool!

"Sometimes you can be unlucky like that," the android nodded back with a light chuckle, although he remained non commital, as if just making polite chit chat, "But a bike - that would save both you and your friends some time."
There was stranger danger about taking candy and such, but nobody talked about bikes, right?

"Are you on Earth then Mister Juch?" she asked, remembering they were in some kind of dreamworld and not reality. You'd think the peppermint floaties would be a better reminder, but the brain normalized things very quickly.
Juch — Today at 2:05 PM
"Me? Not right now," Juch scratched his head as he moved over the bubbling creek, as the yellow brick road led to a junction in the road; a weathered sign post stood in the center, but its letters had faded, worn from time.
"But, I can always send one over to you. That shouldn't be a problem."

"Oh, I'm not on Earth either right now," she said. They were talking about Earth so she thought he might be based on his offer. "I got recruited as a Hero," she explained, standing straighter with pride. "So now I travel across the universe! Which is also dreadfully slow. But one day I'll know one person on every planet so I can just poof!"
