*makes herself comfortable in the Valar-box seat at the racetrack, which she's really enjoyed having all to herself for the last couple races*

(*which is to say, has a lot of popcorn and puts her feet up on the rail in front of her*)

*thinks this had better be worth the money she has riding on that maia kid*

*makes his way to the neighbouring Royal Box*

*doesn't really like racing and had to be dragged out of the office to be here but understands that his presence is a Good Thing*
From: [info]yavannapalurien Date: 07/26/2007 15:26:25  

*hardly ever sees anyone over there*

*wonders if there's a cultural shift she's unaware of*

*nods* Nice day for it. As long as Oromë's not here.

*nods back politely* So my son tells me. You follow motorsport?
From: [info]yavannapalurien Date: 07/26/2007 15:45:43  

Oh definitely. Especially the pre-season. Something has to take the edge off the Constant Vigilance.™

*sees the pit team for her second-best bet give a wave* Yeah, they might pull it out this time. :\

I must confess that I am here out of duty. My sister should be along presently. She is to present the winner's trophy.

Good deal for her. It might even go to the right racer, you know.

*has guessed it's about as popular with the royal set as it is with the rest of the Valar*

*does still wonder if Aulë any of the rest of the bunch will turn up, not that she minds maybe :s*
From: [info]skilledhero Date: 07/28/2007 12:34:31  

*smiles wryly* Well, I imagine she's probably going to miss most of the race while she gets her hair and wardrobe done. *eyeroll* Although my son and nephew are rather more keen. They're down in the pits, probably wreaking havoc.
From: [info]yavannapalurien Date: 07/28/2007 16:02:35  

They're down in the pits

Really? *frowns intently and looks down over the railing* Did they see how the pit teams are looking? Those things make a difference. :\

*gets out there to do that thing he does*

*soaks in the exhilarating presence of all those people*
From: [info]yavannapalurien Date: 07/27/2007 08:47:59  

*wolf-whistles along with the crowd before the pistol goes off*

*really looks forward to a good race*
From: [info]ilinsor Date: 07/27/2007 09:44:31  

*gets things going quite stylishly by very nearly wrecking on Lap 7*

*gamely recovers and spends quite some time trading the lead with three or four of his toughest competitors, here maneuvering a hairpin turn, there trying to draw another driver into dangerous positioning*
From: [info]yavannapalurien Date: 07/27/2007 10:15:00  

*gestures in clear frustration as a car towards the front cuts off a second who was just about to make a really awesome pass*
From: [info]ilinsor Date: 07/27/2007 10:54:43  

*sees TriMoto's driver making an early pit stop and realizes he hasn't properly worked out that guy's strategy at all*

*hopes he hasn't gambled unnecessarily with his tires*

*retakes the lead in a move that sends two cars skidding and tumbling in a crunch of metal and a cloud of smoke*
From: [info]yavannapalurien Date: 07/27/2007 11:02:08  

*sits forward and watches the pack come closer to the finish line*

*sees the lead car make it through the crash and is pleased to find her bet was a good one*
From: [info]ilinsor Date: 07/27/2007 11:39:44  

*does not fail to maintain his lead the rest of the way, his concentration perfectly focused*

*as always, can hardly believe the race is nearing the finish even with all the excited radio chatter*
From: [info]yavannapalurien Date: 07/27/2007 11:48:04  

*punches the air*

*somewhat smugly nods to the two guys on the next box over who had their money on one of the ones who wrecked* /;)
From: [info]azie Date: 07/28/2007 12:36:53  

*gets onto the radio as soon as she can*

That's my boy! Well done! Had us scared there for a while but shoulda known you'd pull through!
From: [info]ilinsor Date: 07/28/2007 15:44:44  

*laughing* Yep. You really should have. Just a walk in the park.

*finishes his victory lap and joins his crew* *climbs out of the car and stretches his limbs* *doesn't actually remove his helmet, of course*
From: [info]azie Date: 07/28/2007 15:52:30  

*dashes up to you and gives you a big hug*

*pats you on the top of the helmet and beams at you* C'mon, c'mon. Apparently, the Lady of Hithlum is going to present you with the trophy.
From: [info]ilinsor Date: 07/28/2007 22:04:05  

*makes sure he lets go of you a split second before you let go of him* *secretly smiles at the look you're giving him right now*

*nonchalantly (despite being hot and sweaty and wanting to get the fuck out of Dodge)* Another Cup. Where am I supposed to put this one?
From: [info]azie Date: 07/29/2007 08:57:22  

*laughs, gleefully* You'll just have to have another house built, that's all.

*turns away from the camera flashes* Okay, you go get the prize. I'll deal with the press. *smiles up at you again* Brilliant.

*disappears off to powder her nose before she faces the press on your behalf*
