“I came,” Ren reiterated the girl’s statement without a smile, “I told you, I always follow through.” She’d even made a note of it on her calendar so she wouldn’t forget. She’d been leaning very casually against her bike with her arms crossed as Adenah approached. Ren hadn’t moved and even as she spoke her eyes hadn’t faltered from the clouds moving carefully through the sky. She rarely felt grounded and the past few days had left her head spinning. She was trapped in a state of uncertainty. This new doorway had been forced open in front of her and she knew if she stepped through it everything in her life would change and she wouldn’t ever be able to go back. Was it too late?

She wasn’t aware that the other girl had become Sailor Mars. Had she known she probably wouldn’t have shown up at the school. She knew about the deaths and that another girl had been awakened but she didn’t know who it was nor had she looked into it.. Ren was trying her best to avoid destiny right now. Her gaze finally moved to Adenah.

“Been better,” really she had but the fact that she’d pushed herself away from the bike and slipped her helmet on said she obviously didn’t want to talk about it in the parking lot of the girl’s school. Ren held out the extra helmet she had brought as she hopped on the bike gracefully. “Probably going to muss up your hair,” her voice was muffled. Her extra helmet wasn’t nearly as intimidating as the one she wore – it was simple and it wouldn’t cover Adenah’s face with a tinted visor. It was a British design. Ren was extremely cautious on her bike and generally overprotective of passengers. She tended to drive more carefully and a little slower than usual.

She nodded to the back portion of the motorcycle, “Get on.”
