She smiled as Kasai explained her reasoning to her, and kept herself from lashing out again just because she had said her way was best. There was no good option here as far as she could tell, but she’d rather not argue about it to the point that they truly went separate ways.

“If it’ll keep you out of trouble then I’m sure. Maybe I’ll be able to sneak away afterwards.” She doubted it would be a possibility though. “My bike? Fair enough, don’t want to get a ticket on top of everything else…”

Avani returned to her bike to move it to a better parking spot. She could hear Kasai following behind her in the police vehicle. The thought to speed up and leave her crossed her mind, but she shrugged it off. There was no point, even if she might be able to lose a larger vehicle in narrow back alleys. It didn’t take long for her to find a good place to park it, she knew the city well.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw!” Avani exclaimed disappointedly when Kasai told her they were doing it the easy way, and no cuffs were necessary. “You know you can put those on me whenever you want too. There’s no need to care about necessity or anything.” She got in the car together with Kasai without raising anymore objections. Better to just get it over with than drag it out. 

She scooted closer to Kasai as the car began to move, and laid her arm behind the other woman, on top of the large singular seat.  “I was serious about the quickie, babe.” Avani whispered into Kasai’s ear. “In case you needed to unwind after a hard day at work, even if the day isn’t over yet. I’m not gonna run away.”

Avani laid her head on the woman’s shoulder, and pressed her nose against her neck to take in her smell. It was familiar enough after their weekend and days together. She’d missed it. Well, she’d missed everything about Kasai really. The smell allowed her to close her eyes and imagine they were somewhere else entirely though. On a tropical beach, or in a shared bed after a wild night. 

She begun to hum a tune she’d heard somewhere, while keeping her arm around Kasai and her head on her shoulder. It was best if she didn’t try anything too bold, lest Kasai crash the car because of it. Second time she was being taken to the police station when previously she had avoided the attention of the pigs for the most part. It was easy to see whose influence was causing these frequent visits to the pigsty, but maybe it was a bad good influence on her. Perhaps it would set her down a better path if she survived the ordeals.
