The loud sound of a motorcycle engine kicked very strong, as two people were driving in the road of the Outer Ring and in all its rocky terrain glory.
Driving on said road are the proxy Wise and leader of the sons of Calydon Caesar King, having a friendly outing together as a thank you gesture for the former helping in fine tuning the later's bike.
Wise, having no real motorcycle experience, was kinda terrified especially with Caesar being the wheel; he simply held onto her for dear life.
The sudden close contact made Caesar a little nervous despite being completely focused on her driving. For some reason, the head of the Sons of Calydon felt strange around Wise since their first meeting, being her usual peppy self on the outside, but alone with him, it makes her quite shy.
Aside from his legendary skills as a Proxy of Pantheon, he somehow has the unknown characteristic of drawing people to him and his younger sister, Belle. Trusting them as a way to repay the debt of helping other people in the past, and now the Sons of Calydon are a part of that community.
Caesar in particular, felt drawn to Wise a little more than normal. Their time in metropolitan area of New Eridu, which was Caesar's very first time, was quite the experience.
She always dreamed of being a regular teenager with being fun and smitten with a boy since reading an old romance manga. It seems fate has given her that chance, but she will need to decide that for herself.
"Hey, Caesar. You mind slowing-" Wise couldn't finish because he accidentally caught a fly in his mouth that made him gag out.
Caesar saw this and chuckled.
"You might wanna avoid talking too much, Proxy. Lotta flies on these roads." Caesar explained, turning her head a little to avoid flies that may end up straight at her while driving that fast.
Wise sighed and resumed his grip on Caesar to hold on.
"Yeah, yeah…" Wise muttered.
"She can be hard to handle, but she sure is amazing at what she does." Wise thought, internally giving credit to the way Caesar does things with some care.
Caesar smiled before turning back to focus on driving.
"Someday… I still plan to be a proper Overlord in the Outer Rim in the next Tour de Inferno. One that you can be proud to support, Proxy." Caesar thought.
"And then… I can tell you how I really feel." Caesar thought, slightly blushing before continuing to drive fast, with Wise still holding on for life as the two continue their course on the road.

"WHAT IS TAKING THOSE TWO SO LONG?!" Lucy yelled, getting real impatient.
"I'm sure their date must be going smoothly." Piper lazily said, lying near the Sons of Calydon's truck.
"That gorilla and the Proxy?! I'd sooner believe that if hell froze over!" Lucy exclaimed.
"Aw, c'mon! I think those two would make a good couple!" Burnice hollered, feeling supportive of her leader in love.
"That would make sense! And if they get hitched, I might become a great aunt soon!" Belle chirped, already making future plans.
"SHUT UP!!" Lucy barked, with sharp teeth with a fiery hot temper already at a level 100.
Lighter adjusted his sunglasses and sighed. "Love sure is complicated."
