[ Allura raises her brow at that. ]

Oh? Well, we could always use your bike.

[shiro2hero]

Sure, one of us could. What's the other one going to drive?

[He didn't end up with two of them, after all.]

[princessences]

The Blue Lion is with us now. I can't exactly pilot her as before, but I could ride on her back.

[shiro2hero]

Oh come on!

[But he's laughing. Clearly not even the least upset.]

There's no way I can win against one of the Lions!

[princessences]

I promise to give you a head start!

[shiro2hero]

It'd have to be an hour head start!

[Wow, it's been a while since he laughed like this.]

[princessences]

Now that would certainly be excessive and likely constitute cheating!

[shiro2hero]

Against a Lion?

That's just being fair!

[princessences]

If you had Black I would have no problem taking you on with your bike!

[shiro2hero]

Oh really?

You think a hoverbike, made by humans... made of normal, every day parts... could take the Black Lion?

[princessences]

You should know by now that the pilot makes a difference. I just think you're afraid to take me on.

[ Them's fightin' words. ]

[shiro2hero]

Afraid? Of a challenge?

Shame on you. I don't know the meaning of the word.

[This is the guy who refused to stop horfing mac&cheese against you, Allura.]

[princessences]

I don't know, I'm starting to have doubts.

[shiro2hero]

It's sounding like I need to go warm up my bike.

[princessences]

[ Allura laughs and gives his shoulder a playful shove. ]

Now that's the Shiro I know.

[shiro2hero]

Ow.

[He says as this walking slab of meat sort of rolls with her shove, and turns her expression back to her.]

The one who wants to race in the middle of a snowstorm?

[Her laugh. Her laugh is priceless.]

[princessences]

[ The feeling is certainly mutual. ]

Yes! Although...I hadn't taken the weather into consideration.

[shiro2hero]

Are you saying you're going to let a little snow keep you out of the competition?

[Shiro don't be a little shit.]

[princessences]

...Of course not! We already faced the snow monsters. I won't deter me!

[ Shiro is definitely being a little shit. ]

[shiro2hero]

Don't you mean...

[It's about to get worse.]

... Deerter you?

[princessences]

Shiro!

[ She gives him a light smack on the shoulder. ]

Now you deserve to eat my dirt!

[shiro2hero]

Whoops!

[He's laughing, though, despite the smack. And the terrible joke.]

You'll have to catch me first.

[princessences]

And to think you didn't want the head start that I offered!

[shiro2hero]

What can I say?

You launched my competitive streak.

[princessences]

That look less than I imagined.
