The fact that Dexter went to the Wardens for something surprises him, a bit.  Brian's been avoiding them for the obvious reasons; they know everything, and he doesn't particularly want to talk about it.  The more he can fly under their radar, the better.  (Plus, there's the matter of names; he wouldn't much care, he has no attachment to being Rudy Cooper, except that Dexter is here and doesn't remember.  The last thing he needs is an announcement spoiling his games, curtailed as they are.)  He's been assuming his little brother would be avoiding them, too, if only because of that uncomfortable knowledge.  

Surprises have the potential to undermine his plans, which means now he's dying to know what Dexter asked for, what he's received, how this will change things.  It leaves him oddly anxious, which means he's brooding about their apartment more actively than usual, poking and prodding at things to kill time until Dexter gets back.  And trying to act casual about it.  

For once, he's not doing a great job.

[ Here's Haruka atop a bicycle again. Must be class day. ]

Hey, just a reminder. If you want to stay in Driver's Ed, bring your own bicycle today. Or take one of mine. [ She laughs, shrugging. ] Apparently they're not playing nicely with the horses.

[ Haruka has her Driver's Ed class out and about in each Sector today, teaching them about traffic safety, hand signals, etiquette, etc. in addition to basic bicycling skills. She wants to make sure everybody's reflexes are where they need to be before sticking them on something with an engine. ]

Good. Now faster.

[ She will keep urging this to every pupil as she judges them ready to push themselves. Unfortunately, this means she's also spending a lot of time checking behind herself, so distracted pedestrians had better watch out....

But that would just be ridiculous, right? There's no way she's going to encounter a person in the middle of the street right as she's lecturing everyone on distracted driving! ]
