( as she sees it, knowing the bike can start is only so helpful. unless she wants to leave it running until the end of time, she needs keys to be able to start it on her own. and maybe turn it off, if it doesn't putter out on its own after idling too long. so she's got keys to find, as begrudgingly as possible. and rest assured she can search very begrudgingly.

she's expecting him to ... well, she's not that worried about what he's going to get up to now, but she wasn't really expecting him to stick around. and certainly not try to extort her. she makes a face. )

What is this payment for, exactly? Starting the bike? Or finding the keys? ( she's for sure not paying for his powers flex, but if he's inclined to be helpful, she's not going to stop him from looking for the keys. ) I don't pay upfront, find some and we'll talk.
