"You're welcome."

[yeoldmonster]

That's it?

This is a good example of why Baiyi has stopped saying things like 'please', 'thank you', or 'I'm sorry'. It hardly seems worth the effort.

He nods his head, acknowledging he heard the response before falling silent.

[safesex]

What does he want? A cookie? A 'thank you' is met with a 'you're welcome; where Vegas comes from. Even a very belated thank you. This could very well be the most uncomfortable train ride in the history of train rides.

[yeoldmonster]

A returned attempt at an olive branch would've been nice. Did he actually expect it? No, not really. As far as he's concerned he has nothing else to say.

That's just about the moment the train comes to a jolting halt. He catches Vegas before he is thrown onto the floor like the majority of the other passengers.

[safesex]

He's accepted Baiyi's thanks, it's not like he's expecting an apology for his rude ass behavior. Vegas accepts that he's not always the easiest person to deal with. Hell, even Kinn gave him some kudos for trying to walk away instead of stabbing someone with a fork.

When the train jolts, Vegas grabs for the nearest... anything with a quietly hissed, "Shit!"

[yeoldmonster]

Baiyi looks about them, trying to see what caused this issue but couldn't see anything. They weren't in a car near the front of the train and no one else seemed to know what was going on.

Sighing, he looks back at Vegas. He slowly releases his grip, careful not to let the young man fall. "Are you hurt?"

[safesex]

Vegas meets his eye and shakes his head. "No, I'm good. Thanks. You okay?"

[yeoldmonster]

The ancient man studied Vegas for a moment longer before accepting that answer. He didn't seem to be hurt.

"I'm fine." He gives the crowd around them one more hard look before sighing. "Although I'll likely not step foot on another one of these cramped boxes for a while after this."

[safesex]

"There must be something on the tracks," Vegas mused as he turned to help a woman up who'd been seated nearby. "We might be here a while."

[yeoldmonster]

Baiyi sighs heavily and turns his gaze downward. If only he could simply check out, but he's too wary about their situation to do so.

"I already hate these things. I've never had to deal with crowds or being caged in like this before." It feels very unnatural. If it wouldn't damage everyone else here, he'd slice a hole in the side of this thing and leap out.

[safesex]

"You'd hate planes," he murmured. Then, he realized he'd need to explain. "They're like this but they fly."

[yeoldmonster]

"People do such a thing willingly?" Baiyi looks properly aghast at the idea. "That would make me long for the days I was alone in my mountain."

[safesex]

"It's the fastest way to travel long distances. What would've been weeks, takes hours."

[yeoldmonster]

He's already feeling very uncomfortable in this place and this asshole is talking about more of these confined, metal contraptions. He thinks over the various ways he could snap this mortal's neck without hardly bumping another passenger.

"Have others requested you take such trips away from them?" There's a faint curl to his lip as he asks.
