She just stared at him for a time after his comment. Every waking moment she spent on controlling herself and playing games that Sith played, up until she exploded with rage or gave into her hunger. Both were what she used for power. They were useful... and miserable.
The throaty roar of the bikes engines settled throughout the air, and when Rick signalled for her to get on she looked at him, then at the speeder, then back at him again. He probably wouldn't understand the hesitance in her eyes, though there was also curiosity there, enough that she gave in.
She walked up to the speeder pretending the moment of question never happened and got on a little clumsily. Wrapping her arms around him, she pressed her body against his like she'd seen others do when they rode in tandem. Her grip was probably a little tighter than the average person, and she wondered if he'd be uncomfortable with it. She tried to relent for a small moment in time but the bit of uncertainty welling up in the pit of her stomach made her hands dig into him again and even tighter.
"I..." she murmured. "This is the first time I've been on a speeder bike," she admitted, though part of her hoped he hadn't heard. The bike took off right after, and the feeling of the wind and speed suddenly felt as if... it left behind her worry, allowing the excitement of the ride to settle in. Her yellow eyes flicked between the passing lights, the people, and it felt somewhat liberating to step outside her usual.
"Where are we going?" she asked, doing her best to shift her weight when he turned a corner. Her eyes caught the lights of a ferris wheel and it made her wonder how many other things she hadn't experienced before.
