[As it turns out, Loki is not the only person that likes to go for walks around the city. Often, Loki finds himself in the park or anywhere there’s more green, but today he feels like something different. He takes a few twists and turns and finds himself walking down one of the more residential streets.

He’s in a very good mood, feeling rather calm and at ease, still on a high after painting his apartment with his favourite person. So much so he hardly notices Aziraphale across the street until he sees lights flashing. Curious, he stops and watches for a moment as it seems the man is speaking with the car. Loki doesn’t know much about Midgardian forms of transportation, but he’s fairly sure they aren’t sentient. He decides to cross and find out more.]

Excuse me. I am sorry to interrupt, but that is an automobile and are you speaking with it?

( the car's engine abruptly turns off. somehow, it seems much less lively than before. almost as if any potentially animated behaviour had only been a trick of the light.

aziraphale himself turns on his heel, moving to properly regard this stranger. )

Oh, hello!

( he glances at him and then back towards the bentley. )

Yes, this is an automobile. I know those aren't typically a thing here, but it just sort of . . . ( he makes a fluttering hand motion. ) appeared!

( as things do. apparently. )

[When the car suddenly stops making noise, Loki frowns. He’s not naïve enough to think he’s imagined it. He’s fairly certain that it is not a normal car, though he is aware that some humans who could create such things. He’s fairly certain he hasn’t heard of their arrival though, so his first instinct is that it is magical. What he doesn’t understand is why hide that?]

Well, wonders never cease. I admit I don’t know much about this form of transportation, but I am certain I just saw you speaking with it. Is that a common thing?

[With a curious look and a small smile, Loki looks over at the Bentley as well. He’s fascinated, as he always is with new things that he suspects might be magical in nature.]

[benedicus]

( that's a bit of a tricky question. )

Well, I suppose that depends on your attitude towards automobiles. ( considering they can be a bit of a hot subject. ) But I would say that it's a common for those who are fond of their vehicles.

( he gives the hood of the car a little pat. )

[abit_ofboth]

I can’t say I have any attitude towards automobiles. I’ve never had nor needed one before.

[He gives the man a bit of a suspicious look. He seems rather innocent, but Loki knows when someone isn’t being fully honest with him and this man is definitely trying to hid something. Rather poorly as well.]

Alright then, let me rephrase. Does this automobile understand you when you speak with it?
