[Namari]

Ike nods, " yup! that's my baby." he takes the keys and hops out of the van, opening up the rear compartment and pulling out two helmets, one he straps onto himself and the other he holds out to Link.

[MissyLooni]

Link gets out of his van and locks it before taking the helmet, "thank you." Link turns his phone off before putting the helmet on.

[Namari]

Ike slings his leg over the bike and settles into the main seat, inserting the key and turning it on, listening to the motor roar to life, " love that. come on then, sit behind me and hold on tight."

[MissyLooni]

Link nods and carefully gets on behind ike, wrapping his arms around ike's waist, "i hope you're a safe driver..."

[Namari]

Ike chuckles, " i've never gotten into an accident, does that count?" he reves the engine before putting the kickstand up and pushing off, speeding out onto the road.

[MissyLooni]

Link yelps softly and clings tighter

[Namari]

Ike leans expertly into the turns, making his way quickly uptown to the aquarium. He parks in the lot and puts the kickstand down, grabbing his keys and taking his helmet off, " well?"

[MissyLooni]

Link keeps his eyes closed tight, his face buried in ike's back, "that was terrifying."

[Namari]

Ike laughs softly, " once you get over being terrified it'll be an adrenaline rush, come on now, the aquarium awaits!"

[MissyLooni]

Link shudders and lets go of ike. He gets off the bike and removes his helmet, giving it back to him

[Namari]

Ike takes the two helmets and locks them into the storage compartment. He then heads for the aquarium front, looking at each ticket booth before going to a specific one, " Eagen! my man!"

The guy behind the counter gives Ike a wry grin, " Hey Ike. got another one you're taking here? you're lucky they don't care if we let friends use our passes." he shakes his head and grabs a card from his pocket, scanning it twice and handing him two bracelets. " have fun! oh, and Jenna is in with the penguins today, i don;t think she's fed them yet. you might be able to sweet talk her into letting you help if you hurry."

Ike puts one bracelet on and hands the other to Link, " nice! how does that sound? want to see if we can help feed the penguins?"

[MissyLooni]

Link takes his bracelet and puts it on before looking at ike and nods, 'another one? I'm honestly not surprised.'

[Namari]

Ike grabs Links hand and pulls him quickly through the aquarium, " we can come back and check the rest later, if we want to try and get to feed the penguins we gotta hustle." soon he reaches the exhibit and peers into the window of the employee door, grinning when he sees Jenna, knocking on the door to get her attention. She looks up and scowls, setting the bucket of fish down before coming out. Ike smiles, " so, heard you were gonna be doing some feeding. need a couple extra hands?"

She crosses her arms before looking at Link, " i could. He's new, never seen him before at school." she looks at him questioningly.

Ike chuckles, " ah, probably because he goes to TA."

Her eyes widen slightly, " holy fuck you've got balls. come on in then, lets this done. hate having to smell these fish..." She opens the door and Ike pulls Link in, going around the corner and into another door to the enclosure. Penguins look over and squawk, the area cold. Jenna brings a couple of buckets of fish in and set them down, " most will take fish from your hand if you hold it by the tail and dangle it in front of them. the emperors won't, and one of the rockhoppers. Watch him, the rockhopper that is, he'll try and get into the buckets. try to not let him get too many fish, he's kinda chunky." she grabs a fish and holds it out to the penguins gathering, one taking it from her. She tosses a few to the largest ones in back, the emperor penguins.

Ike chuckles and starts feeding the black and white birds, the forewarned rockhopper making himself known as he shoves others aside and tries to literally dive into the bucket. Ike quickly grabs him and sets him back on the ground, giving the critter a fish to placate him for a bit.

[MissyLooni]

Link follows them in and smiles when he sees the penguins, "oh my gosh... they are so cute..." he grabs a fish by the tail and starts feeding some penguins that get close

[Namari]

Ik chuckles, " see? thought you'd enjoy this." he catches the obnoxious rockhopper again as he jumps into the bucket and sets him to the side with another fish, " this guy is persistent!" he tosses a few to the penguins in the back before feeding a few more up close, the buckets swiftly being emptied.
