The hood is crumpled, paint flaking away, and a faint odor of engine grease and smoked herbs hangs in the cold.

She gestures, and you realize you're studying her face, not the damaged metal. "A good, solid thump right here usually convinces it to behave. Most days." Her smirk is lopsided, an unspoken dare hanging between you. What's your call, you?
