Oswin is not really up for 'socializing'.

And she didn't want to report that she spent her day (sensibly) in her rooms either, because then she has to talk about it, and she doesn't want to talk about it.

Really not.

So she's in the garage, deconstructing a car's engine (mostly with skill, sort of with brute force and mechanical aid). It's active, it's not in her rooms, and she can threaten anyone she feels threatened by with the electric drill.

It's a win-win, really.

She does not say 'Clint, your car is weird' because they haven't gotten out of the garage yet and she does very much want to see this new world.

...

Her face says it eloquently. Clint, your car is weird.

She gets in anyway. It's a weird card that'll start an adventure so weird is alright by her!

The first twenty minutes of the trip might be boring, depending on how easily wowed Oswin is by palm trees and clear blue skies and the low-key bustle of San Diego.

It's not quite rush hour, thank goodness, but Clint's still quiet as he's focused on the traffic lights-and-potential-pedestrians.

Once they're out of city traffic, he glances at her with a grin. "Okay, navigator. Tell me where you want to go."

Since she's never seen anything like that before, she's definitely entertained by the outrageously tall palm trees and skies that go on forever and... well. The unique foot-traffic of San Diego.

"Err... north?" She offers, because for all she knows north is a bad direction that no one in their right mind would go, but her map contains a lot more north than it does south, so...

North.

"What's this big blue thing, there's a road that goes along that."

"Good choice," he says, amusement not particularly well-hidden. "That blue thing's the biggest ocean on Earth."
