[For years now, Athrun has been working on a project in his garage in his spare time. He had bought a classic car, and took it upon himself to restore it. He wanted to do as much of the work as possible on his own, taking to the internet or to the local mechanics whenever he needed to know something that he didn't already know.
Today, after work, he makes a stop at Weiss's apartment. When she answers him, he asks her to come with him to the street, because he has something that he would like her to see. And there, parked along the curb, is a pristine-looking 1953 Corvette. It looks like it only just rolled off the lot -- if the lot hadn't been in the fall of 1952. It even has white wall tires!]
I just finished last night, and drove it to work this morning. What do you think?
[That's been a long project, certainly one of those things that someone may think will it ever even be ready or some may be more negative about it... Weiss is in neither of those categories; projects are good and there's no rush with them and so on.
Weiss is about to welcome him in but then Athrun wants to show her something. She obviously has no idea what it could be, not in a million years would she make the correct guess unless she'd be joking about it... So since surprise is clearly his thing here, that works really well!!
The Ice Queen's eyes look impressed, amazed even. It's a really pretty car and white and red just happen to be her colors too. Coincidence? Who knows... Well, maybe Athrun knows but Weiss is not going to ask about it nor even mention it. And she's going back to her cool and calm style again like this is nothing. Hard to impress!!]
Well, looks can be deceiving and it's a bit too early for me to tell. But you could take me for a ride and we'll see what I think after that.
[ ... So what she really means is that Athrun should spend more time with her right now with that ride or otherwise. Why can't she be nice and just say that is a mystery.]
[Despite Weiss's exterior, Athrun's smile never falters. He knows Weiss well enough to know that he can't judge what she's thinking by how she's acting externally. And yes, Athrun does know the answer to Weiss's unasked question about the matching color schemes. He just can't answer it until she asks it.]
Well, of course. I wouldn't have driven it here if I hadn't intended to take you for a ride in it. Are you ready to go now?
