"WOOOOOHOOOOOO!" Meg screamed, wind whipping through her purple hair as Fin expertly navigated the city streets.
"This is awesome! When did you even learn to drive? And get a license? And this car!" She patted the dashboard of the sleek, dark vehicle. "Seriously, Fin, it's only been a week!"
Fin grinned, keeping his eyes on the road but enjoying her excitement. "Hunter benefits," he said simply, a hint of pride in his voice. "Things move faster when the Guild wants them to."
She leaned back in the plush seat, still buzzing. "Faster? You went from never touching a wheel to licensed driver in seven days! That's not fast, that's insane!"
"Just glad you're enjoying the ride," he chuckled. He steered the car away from the city center, the buildings gradually becoming less polished, the streets showing more wear.
The familiar grey sprawl of the slums appeared on the horizon.
