It's a bet then.
*he reaches over to fumble with the thermos of coffee, but the Jaguar isn't exactly built for pouring on the go*
Would you mind pouring a cup for me? I'd hate to have to reupholster this car so soon after replacing the engine.

*Luke pours him a cup.* Yeah, I can be on drink detail.
*hands him the cup* Yeah, I think one remodeling job a year is sufficient for her. After I left, she kept runnin' smooth, right? Didn't have to adjust much?

Yes, pretty much. Other than that strange knocking sound.

*Luke reacts. His face falls and his eyes go wide.*
*In another second, he's smirking wide and nodding, sighing a breath of mild relief.* Yeah, all right, jackass. There was -nothing- right about that.

I beg to differ. The look on your face was oh so right.

*puts his hand on the dash and leans down, talking to the car* Don't let him scare you. You stick with me, babe. I won't do you like that.

Should I pull over? Do you need some time alone?

*grins, kicks back comfortably in the seat* Hey, I don't get to see her that often. She misses me when I'm away.

*Bard finishes drinking his cup of coffee and hands it back to Luke*
You're not instilling confidence in me. I told you I wanted to avoid reupholstering the seats.

*smirks and pours him a cup* b***h, b***h, b***h. I'm getting it. *hands him a full cup*
*Luke plays with the radio after that. He bypasses a couple easy listening stations, Phil Collin's "Suidio", and something that was either the Gin Blossoms or something close.*
*Guns 'n Roses "Paradise City" comes on and Luke nods, satisfied. That'll keep them awake.*

*Luke shakes his head, smiling sideways. He takes a deep breath and croons in a god-awful singing voice.* So far away. So faaa-aar aww-aaaay. *And keeps going.* Take me down to the paradise city where the grass is green and the girls are pretty. Oh won't you please take me hooome.

Getting there. We're getting there.
*Up ahead of them, a salt truck is dumping its cargo onto the road. Bard wincesat the thought of all the salt and slush slowly eating away at his car*
We should have rented a Toyota.
