"Please put your hands back," he says in a muted, strained plea. It's fine if Crow couldn't hear him - in fact, it might even be preferable - but he had to voice that.

Ha ha. Come on, Marco! There's nothing dangerous about driving one handed! He does it all the time! Professionally, even! You can't play card games on motorcycles if you don't have a hand available to actually play your cards.

Crow hums. Maybe it's in agreement. Either way, it's lost under the sound of his bike's engine. Marco's not exactly wrong about walking being good for you. But there are just some places that're too far to walk to quickly.

"You the head of a company or something?"

Ah. Right, he should have guessed that would have raised a question or two. Marco doesn't like to brag, but every so often, he does forget that some everyday things weren't quite so everyday to most other people.

"I... was, actually. We dealt in computers and computer software, broadly speaking."
