For real? Well, alright then. I'm kinda curious what your campus looks like.
[Once Rin gives him the University location, Van makes sure to mark it down on his GPS and makes the drive there on the destined day!
And once he's finally arrived, he'll be taking a moment to walk through the park and onto the campus grounds with a low whistle from his lips. A shady old bum like him might stand out in such a fancy looking place. In fact, there might already be some whispers of a 'shady, yet hot guy dressed in black and blue' walking around here!]
Daaaamn... This whole city reminds me of Oración back home. Whenever you've got the right connections, you probably can't help and have a bit of an ego for this fancy shindig of a school.
[Right before he steps into one of the halls he'll have a strong hand gripping the collar of his jacket and yanking him back. Much like someone scruffing an animal.]
If you have the chance to ruin any falsely high reputation my fellow classmates make of you then having you pick me up here is worth nothing. Back to your car, okay?
[Tohsaka strong arms him back in the direction he came from.]
I'm getting the distinct impression that you're embarrassed of me. Or maybe you're shy of introducing me to your pals? I know I'm a shady dude, but I don't bite too badly.
[He chuckles as he shrugs and decides to head outside back into the yard and let her take the lead. Thankfully for her, he didn't get too far inside!]
Sure am! I've been long overdue for some rest and relaxation. It's gonna be even better with some company.
[Wow, let him be edgy and hardcore! With his hands in his coat pockets, he'll be walking over to the parking lot... Then once he approaches his car, he'll be opening the passenger's seat for her.]
But you know... You've definitely gotten a bit taller, haven't ya? Not only that, you've even switched up hair styles on me.
I don't think so. Feels like you've grown an inch or two to me. C'mon now, I'm giving you actual praise here.
[Van's eyes do wander to her legs for a split second, but he mentally scolds himself for letting them do that. Shutting the door and moving over to the driver's side, he'll be starting up the car and starts driving ahead!]
I've got the radio here if you wanna listen to anything special. I ain't too picky with music, ya know.
Tch... You wanna get out and walk? Or maybe you can sit in the cargo bed instead.
[All said with his usual snark... Not that he's really going to stop the car or make her sit in the back like that. Secretly, he'd feel bad for doing either of those.]
You know, you never struck me being in the old classics. And here I thought that you were more into loud and upbeat pop music.
[Van himself often found himself tuning into the smooth jazz station more often than not. But this was a refreshing change of pace... Though he does hear some loud rock music playing in one of the cars off to the side. It appeared to be a guy in a new model sports car and he's honking over at their direction.]
What the hell? Doesn't this dude know that he could get a ticket for noise violation? What's he tryin' to prove here?
He's probably just trying to get you to race him. Just ignore the guy. I bet he'll speed off like an idiot and ruin his own day.
[Or maybe she'll fuck with the wind resistance on his vehicle a little bit like she does with her boats out in the ocean and get him to crash that fancy little sports car (without injury, of course; just want to drain his wallet with some car repairs).]
Hah! I deal with assholes like this all the time. I know better than to take easy bait like this.
[Though the guy pulls over to their side and rolls down his window. Seeing Rin gets him to do a little sleazy wolf whistle and he obnoxiously honks his horn again.]
Nyahaha~! Hey there, hot stuff! Why don't ya ditch the old geezer ridin' a dumpster and take a ride with a REAL stud here?
[There's a very stained smile on Van's face and the hint of a vein on his forehead. This guy not only called him an old geezer, but also insulted his car? Van's aura of murderous intent begins to drip from his shoulders.]
What. Did. He. Just. Say? He called me an old geezer and said what about my car?
If you actually intend to race him I'll just walk back to the university.
[If Van is actually able to show some restraint then maybe he'll be rewarded with a couple little surprises. But for now Tohsaka simply seems unimpressed with both drivers.]
[They were already at a stop light and he continues hearing the guy jeering at them. Van takes a deep breath before finally pushing his anger aside.]
--Ugh! Fine, fine. I've got better things to do here than waste time with some punk.
[While it hurts his pride, he'll let that anger simmer before it takes control of him. The so-called punk still has some words to say... Van decides to pull down his window for some words of wisdom here.]
Awww... What's wrong? You're gonna chicken out, old man? Bet you couldn't outdo me!
... Listen, kid. Here's a friendly ol' suggestion. If I were you, I wouldn't be picking fights out on the road. You've got a real beauty of a car there, so don't let it go to waste.
Oh, you're just acting all cool now! I'll show you what's what!
[The moment that the light goes green, the punk goes racing off... But what follows is the sounds of police sirens in the distance. Meanwhile, Van decides to calmly keep driving forward.]
Well, it'll be the police's job to put him in his place and not mine. I did warm him not to pick fights.
[There is a crashing noise that is most certainly from that same punk and when they have to drive by the wreckage (the idiot driver mostly unscathed) Rin puts her hand on Van's thigh.]
Don't tell anyone, but I may have used a little magecraft on his wheels.
[Van's face turns red for two big reasons! The first would be from feeling her hand against his thigh like that! Then the second one would be anger from her pure recklessness. How can one girl make him feel so angeroused?!]
For the love of-- Even a normal race could've helped with breaking his pride, you know?
[But in hindsight, it still would've distracted them from their destination. He does let out another sigh as he relaxes a bit more.]
... You held back enough magic to not kill him, right?
[There's a hint of concern in his voice. Van knew how it felt to take a human life and the weight never left you as long as you lived. That's a line he never wants her crossing if he could help it.]

So where do you want me to pick you up? If you don't want me to bring you any attention, then you can make it secluded if you want.

[Actually having Luvia stew over it might be nice. Come pick her up in London!!!]

How long are we going to be gone for?
no subject
[He doesn't mind living a grey area lifestyle, but there were still firm lines that even he wouldn't cross.]
It'll be a two day trip if you're willing to put up with me for that long. Do you have any personal business that you wanna take care of before then?

Not at all. I'm prepared to have a good weekend. Aren't you?

Don't be so loud! Besides, it was only meant to humiliate him a little. That's why I didn't want you racing him.
