[He pauses, then twists around to glance back at Cloud. DON'T JUST SAY THAT IN SUCH A DEADPAN WAY. He sort of laughs suddenly, but seems embarrassed! Please let him self dunk in peace...]
Wow, okay. I've rubbed off on you too much, you need to shut up. [Fond.] I have one more favorite place, but you'll hate it.
[ he's training jason to not make death jokes by absolutely embarrassing him when he does them. is it working. he doesn't even acknowledge he said it even though jason set him up for a beautiful second punch with rubbing off, because he is not actually big on dirty jokes. it's tragic. ]
Why am I going to hate it?
[ genuinely curious as he tries to guess where they are going and how likely it is jason is trolling him with it ]
[He turns forward again, situating himself in place and picking one leg up, but not taking off yet or anything.]
It's the library.
[That's when he takes off. Cloud cannot complain or disagree now. They are going by the library. Luckily, he isn't dragging Cloud inside, only showing him the fancy outside.]
I don't hate libraries. [ he almost has to shout it over the sudden roar of the motorcycle, tightening his hold on jason reflexively. ] I just think you're a nerd.
[WHAT THE HECK. He's already driving, he can't argue with that!! He does sort of shift his elbow back to bump Cloud though. That's the best he can do.
Cloud is right. Sometimes, you're a nerd with muscles.
Which is why they pull up to the library. Like the school and the mansion, he won't force Cloud to go inside and be bored to tears. But he does show him the outside. It looks pretty fancy, like the New York library. It's big, though it has to be to service a city.]
[ he oofs like it hurt when it didn't. he steps off the motorcycle when they get to the library, though, looking at the outside a little impressed ]
Should've shown you the Shinra library. You'd have been impressed. [ it's massive! there is a mayor in it. that's all i remember. ] This one's open to the public though, I'm guessing?
[Hmmmm. He stays on the bike, but watches Cloud for a moment before glancing at the library. He wrinkles his nose about the Shinra library, and he does it where Cloud can see it.
No. Not that one. It has very grimy Lex Luthor library vibes.]
You've only shown me the outside of everything. [ he looks at jason curiously. it's not a yes but he's also like. he was serious he doesn't dislike libraries he was a kid in a small town with no friends of course he read books ]
I didn't think you'd be interested in seeing the inside of anything.
[This is said genuinely? Like... he really thought Cloud wasn't interested in that kind of thing, regardless of it being him. The last thing he wants to do is bore Cloud to tears.
He looks from Cloud to the library, then finally kickstands the bike so he can swing himself off.] Come on. [He will take Cloud up the grand outside stairs to the door.]
I wasn't asking you to show me your favorite places in Gotham to get a tourist guide. [ dry but amused, but he's getting what he wants so he's following up the stairs!! ]
