[ steve barely waits until she's made it through the door before he's shifting the gears and slamming his foot on the accelerator. because she does have a point - his car, these wheels, they're not made to avoid the root system. he's not looking to sneak, here, but rather outrun.
the engine roars to life, climbing in speed as steve weaves through what's left of the forest before his tires squeal over asphalt. once on the highway, steve's booking it even faster, and faster, because it's not a matter of avoiding detection - that much he's figured out. instead, it's about outrunning, because whatever's gone weird about his horizon, whatever it is this place has become, it always manages to stop just enough if he can get out of it.
so that's where he's going. or at least trying to go. because it's only a couple of minutes after that something large, and larger still, will burst through the treeline and onto the road. steve doesn't seem surprised by this, and instead will just lean forward a bit more and tap at his steering wheel, urging the car forward. ] C'mon, c'mon...
[ at the very least, he's got a decent soundtrack? ]
