4. [ACCIDENTAL VIDEO]
[the fact that this is an 'accidental' video comes through, quickly - the camera is bouncing around, though somewhat repetitively. what's visible though is Raf's upper body, and he seems to be grabbing on to something metal (though not without a pair of gloves).
he's also laughing. the kid's breathlessly exhilarated, the type of laughing you get when you're on a roller coaster that may have seemed a bit scary at first but you've come to love. why would it be scary, you ask?
another jostle of the camera shows more of the metal he's grabbing on to - it's heavily segmented, intricate, and aside from what's immediately near him, all of it seems to be /moving/ to the point where if a hand or foot slipped, it could...end badly. very, very quickly. but Raf doesn't seem worried at all. another jostle, and a bit more becomes clear, to where it looks like he's riding a giant, mechanical worm...
yes, ladies and gentlemen.
Raf is riding the Driller.
the camera, unfortunately, isn't giving a clear enough view to show where exactly they are, but at least he seems to be having the time of his life?]

action
[And as he's talking, he pulls his hands a little bit away from his face so that he can look Raf in the eye properly, and also give him a little scan. Because medical attention = love.]
Are you ready to go home or do you want to say goodbye to your... friend first?
[Ratchet is giving Driller the side-eye, but he's slightly calmer now, so he'll let Raf say farewell, at least.]
action
[and knowing Driller, he's quick to turn around. HE'S FINE, PLEASE DON'T PANIC AND THINK HE'S BEING ATTACKED, IT'S ALL GOOD-]
I'll...see you another time, okay?
action
action
And goodbye to you too.
[He kneels to put Raf back on the ground before transforming into alt mode and swinging his driver-side door open.]
Are we ready to go home now?
no subject
but with a final wave at the Driller, he climbs in to Ratchet's seat, buckling up quickly enough]
Whenever you are.
