[YEAH HE SURE DIDN'T but now he's just wandering back in and pausing at the door like what in the fck--]

...Your prize, I'm guessing? [M...MOSEYING CLOSER TO GET A BETTER LOOK.] What in the world is this supposed to be?

[She raises a hand in greeting as he comes in, stepping back to give him a better look.]

Oh - it's an electric scooter. It's a vehicle, so you stand on it and push a button to make it move forward.

[His entire demeanor goes from "vaguely interested" to "OVER THE MOON DELIGHTED" in like .5 seconds oh my god.]

It moves? On its own?! Ah - oh! Do you stand on this flat part, then? How fast does it go? Oh, I see the wheels--

[HOW DID HE MISS THEM.]

Faster than most people can run. And - yeah, that's where you stand.

[Actually...]

You want a demonstration?

[He ABSO-HECKIN-LUTELY WANTS A DEMONSTRATION.]

Yes—!! Show me! I want to see how it works! Where's the button?! How does it work—?

[She can't help but laugh a little, amused, as she shakes her head.]

Come on, I'll explain everything.

[And then she's walking it towards the door.]

[He'll follow along after her, just keeping his eyes glued on this... MAGIC SCOOTER.]

The future really does have just about anything you could possibly think up, doesn't it...? Amazing!

I bet there's, like, a hundred different things you haven't heard from anyone yet.

[As she says that, they arrive at a suitably long hallway; she looks back at him with a smile, stepping onto the scooter herself.]

Okay, hop on.

I'm going to visit as many of you as possible once this is over and learn about all of them!

[And SINGLEHANDEDLY MODERNIZE ANCIENT CHINA.

Though he's. He's just looking at the scooter and then back at her.]

Will it really be able to move with both of us? It's so tiny...

[Even riding with two people on horseback tires out the horse!!]

It'll be fine, trust me.

[famous last words

That being said, she looks his way, gesturing for him to step on.]

[Can't believe Beck is about to become the (man who got stabbed) WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO, STAB ME meme, but with a scooter and wall instead.

Anyway since he's a fool and doesn't even think about her lack of depth perception, he carefully steps on behind her, placing his hands on her shoulders.]

Is this alright?

[She looks back at him with a smile and a nod.]

Yep! Let me know when you're ready.

I'm ready! You can go whenever you'd like!

[He's ready to become Sonic the demon.]

[Go she does, then! She's not going at full speed just yet; she imagines he'll probably like this, but in case he doesn't, she doesn't want to just immediately zoom off.]

How's that?

[She is entirely correct in her assumption... Even not going at full speed, Wei Wuxian seems enamored immediately with this TINY METAL HORSE.]

Ah!! You really do just push a button! That's amazing!!

[She nods.]

It's pretty cool. Do you want to go faster?

[famous last words!!]

Absolutely, yes! Go as fast as you can!

[FAMOUS LAST WORDS.]

[She immediately does so—

And when trying to turn a corner, thanks to her newfound lack of accurate depth perception, they sure are both crashing into a wall. Oops!]

[YEEHAW WALL YEET 2. He smacks into it and slides down onto the floor Looney Tunes style.]

—Beck!! Are you alright?!

[She was standing in front, so she's probably smacking into the wall a split second before, so she's taking that moment to stay here and think about the choices that have led her to that point.

After that long moment passes:]

You okay...?

I'm fine! My head is hard as a rock. [Don't say that out loud maybe.] But what about you?

[She shakes her head.]

I'm fine, just... surprised and embarrassed that I don't know how to drive a scooter, apparently.

[Press F for her depth perception.]

[JUST reaching out to pat her shoulder gently...]

Wheeled things! I told you! I almost died when I tried on Tonbokiri's heelies, too.

[Dramatically:]

I'll never drive a car again...

[Puts both hands on her shoulders.]

Please don't. Stay away from the wheels, Beck.
