Lucca gave a small wave to Alice, not as psyched to see her as everyone else. She was just too... much, for him. Kenji on the other hand, winked at Alice. He didn't really like Alice that way, well maybe he did, he wasn't really sure, but he had done it because he was trying to hide his uncertainty. He knew it was working, that was a talent of his. He saw Alice the way he saw himself, thinking she was like him in the way she must be hiding something, pushing her real feelings down by displaying a more cruel version. Perhaps that was why Kenji looked at her in a different light than most girls, she reminded him of Jacob on his bad days, that only Kenji saw, and Jacob was a part of Kenji however much he wanted to deny it sometimes.
"We're working together by the way," Kenji stated, his flirting the moment before now replaced with a face that looked like he couldn't care less.
Lucca looked over at Kenji, asking, "Hey, you brought a car, right?" Kenji had walked in, not ridden a train in like Lucca and Casey. "Yeah, I brought a car. It could probably fit all of us if it needed to. I can just fly if we need more room. Besides, if we get pulled over, I don't have a legit licence here... so, maybe you should drive Lucca," Kenji said, nodding his head as if deep in thought.
Lucca didn't meet Kenji's eyes as he muttered something quietly under his breath. "What?" Kenji asked, leaning in to hear what Lucca said. "He said he doesn't have his licence either," Casey said helpfully with a slight roll of the eyes. Kenji smiled as he straightened up again. "Nice, thanks for telling him," Lucca muttered with a jovial smile on his face. Casey shrugged, her motion saying no problem for her.
"It's cool man, I'll drive. People will just have to sit in other people's laps if I take more than four people not including me," Kenji stated as he hefted his bag higher on his shoulder. "Those who don't want to fly and or do whatever it is you do, come with me," Kenji stated as he waved people on to follow him should they want to.
"Yo, new guy, I got a seat in my car if you want it. It's a short ride to the airport, it'll be a tight fit, but it's possible," Kenji called over his shoulder as he took up reached for the sunglasses that hung at his throat on his tshirt. He slipped them on as he walked outside though England wasn't that sunny that day.
On the way out of the door, Jacob ruffled Lucca's hair, stating, "It's cool, Kenji just knows how to drive because he did something illegal a while back, can't be helped." He said it as if it was something that happened every day, Kenji breaking the law, which could very well be the case when it came to Kenji.
He led the way out to his car, summoning a strong, tiny wind into the key hole of the trunk, popping it without difficulty. He tossed his bag back in, thinking they'd have gotten on another train or something. Why had he even left the States again? Kenji walked to the front of the car, manipulating the wind once more to unlock his car door, then unlock the car for everyone else a second later. He climbed in, closing the door and starting the car. Lucca got in the seat behind Kenji, allowing Casey to climb into his lap. The two were best friends, nothing more, yet some keepers found it odd that Lucca was so close to his demon.
"Okay, roll call, better yet, who's in my car?"Kenji asked, raising his voice only slightly and only giving a slight glance back. "Jacob," Jacob stated from where he sat in Casey's lap despite Lucca's complaints. "Lucca's here, with your demon crushing him," Lucca managed. "By the way Jacob, you're crushing me," Lucca managed as he tried to shove Jacob off only to find there was no room to do anything.
"I'm here, Casey, that is," Casey stated simply, hugging Jacob from behind. For whatever reason, Jacob and Casey were like siblings in the way they treated each other, possibly because Lucca and Kenji were so close to each other on such occasions.
Kenji listened to the other names, smiled, then put the car in gear. "Off we go. Jacob, if you braid my hair like you did last time, you're walking to Jersey," Kenji stated upon feeling a tug on a lock of his hair. "So, what's going on in people's lives since our last encounter?" Kenji asked, glancing in the rear view mirror as he drove. He leaned against his door, the window down a little.
Kenji wondered briefly about Alice again. What was he thinking, he needed to get the girl out of his head, lest he get her and himself killed. He pushed the thought of her away. He wasn't going to flirt with her, or pretend to flirt with her, again, for a long time, until he felt he could control himself. He knew she had something against guys, and though he didn't want to hurt her in a way that was really going to hurt her for real, but he didn't want to accidentally be the cause of her receiving physical pain either. Worse, what if she broke him and left nothing left of his already heavy-... he was thinking way too deeply as well as way too melodramatically. Breathing deeply, he pressed the gas, keeping an eye out for any police in case they decided to get him for speeding. He'd just screw with their radar guns by slowing the appearance of the car's speed, or just have it take off and have Lucca conceal it in shadows, whatever. Speeding made Kenji feel loose, like nothing could touch him, or hurt him, anywhere or any way.
He listened and didn't listen as people talked. Lucca filled in the gaps in noise, working with Jacob as a tag team.
