picture_prompt_funTitle: Fairground Ride
Ines was fifty five seconds early for our meeting. She had on her face the expression that tends to indicate amusement or the desire for mischief.
When I congratulated her on her timeliness, she replied, "A shrewd businesswoman is always on time. Although, this hardly looks like a business meeting, Kunzite."
Her tone of voice changed quite suddenly to one that indicated good-natured teasing, which caused my eyebrows to raise, startled by the change.
"If I didn't know you better, I'd say I've been asked out on a date."
After a pause, I decided upon the answer, "This does indeed follow the patterns of a human courtship ritual. In fact, I will shortly ask you to ride the teacups with me at the fairground. However, my intention is research only."
"That's what all the boys say," Ines sighed.
"... Yes. I require you to spin the cups at a velocity above what would be safe for 'all the boys', however."
"Think you can handle me at full strength, huh?"
"Previously, Kor invited me onto the Ferris Wheel in order to experience the same thrill that biological life forms undergo when exposed to certain types of physical sensory stimulus. However, perhaps because of my enhanced resilience, I did not experience anything like the effects of adrenaline."
"I can show you a thrill," promised Ines.
"Shortly afterwards, I was informed by Beryl that you enjoy twirling the cups at a much faster rate than the others, because of your similarly enhanced strength. On humans, this caused panic attacks and motion sickness. However, on a machine designed for combat..."
"Oh, I'm no machine," she replied, winking at me.
"Is this an agreement?" I inquired, but she was already pulling me towards the teacups.
