[ She hesitates for a moment, but only a moment, before nodding. How hard could it be, right? ]

[Maya has faith that Angel will manage just fine... either that or there will crazy hilarity in the form of a wild veering hovercraft first, and then things will be fine.

So she stops the vehicle, steps out from the driver's seat, and motions for Angel to take her place.]

Go ahead.

[makeshiftwings]

[ She climbs into the driver's seat with a little apprehension, taking a moment to settle herself. This is exciting!

She waits for Maya to take her seat. ]

Ready?

[lockednloaded]

[Once Maya settles into her seat, she nods.]

Ready. Hit it.

[makeshiftwings]

[ And hit it she does, literally stomping on the accelerator. (What, it's what she's seen everyone else do!) The craft goes lurching forward, and poor Angel is so surprised by this that she jerks the wheel to one side. What was that about a wild, veering hovercraft? ]

[Maya would take the time to contemplate how the laws of physics did not initially toss her out of the vehicle if she wasn't currently trying to hold onto the railing, while the hovercraft veers off sharply in one direction. A direction it continues in, so they're pretty much going in one really fast, really small circle.

Good thing she had a small lunch.]

Don't hit it so hard!

[Something she probably should have mentioned earlier, but. Well.]

[makeshiftwings]

[ Angel instantly lays off of the accelerator, and just as quickly as it started, the craft slows to a stop. ]

I'm sorry. I didn't realize-- well, you do it all the time! [ And let's not mention Salvador's driving habits. ]

[lockednloaded]

[Maya can get her bearings again once the craft stops, and she realizes she's grasping tightly to the railings.]

I do what all the time? I don't remember ever doing that!

[She's pretty sure driving really fast in circles isn't something she makes a habit of. But still, she's not angry -- in fact, it's a little funny, and when she speaks her tone is steady.]

I probably should have said to push on the accelerator slowly at first. At least until you get a hang of things.
