Pamela beamed with pride, her face warm. "That's my baby girl. She is to me what a soul creature is to a mystic."

Choi Wang looked completely terrified, his face as white as ivory. "There's no way I'm getting on that!"

Pamela simply scoffed. "As it is you both are already running late for the Celebration of Seasons, so you have no choice but to ride in my baby girl." She cooed like a lovestruck teenager. "Isn't she just so adorable?"

Adorable was not the right word to describe the vehicle in Xavier's opinion. In size and bulk, it would've passed for an entire carriage of a streetcar. But it looked like the armored cars of ages ago. The kind one could only see on old movies or antique machine shops nowadays.
