Never met him. [He's only seen him and barely associated the name with the face. What's funny about dog ears?]
I'll wait until you're a worthy challenge before doing that. [He's not going to go against someone already willing to throw in the towel. Even if it's factual.
OH IS THAT HOW YOU'RE GONNA PLAY IT, RAIDOU?!] Haa?! You can only say that cause the pond's not frozen anymore!
[Well they do have an instant ice rink in the form of Bakugo's classmate, Todoroki, should they want to ask. Probably end up teaching Todoroki how to skate too...]
Grrrr! [Have a growl in your ear.] I can find a damn way to practice!
A couple weeks? [And he's still learning how to ride it?! Either Raidou's been really fucking busy or priorities are a thing. Bakugo's gonna drag him to lessons if he's not careful...
The little click of Raidou's tongue mirrors all the times Bakugo's done it to him. It's kind of nice to hear that small emote.] I'll tell you when I find one.
Mm, I was hoping there might be decent roads out there, but I suppose they aren't being maintained. Thought maybe it'd be a good place to practice, but I guess what little we saw while we were out there is probably a good indication...
[Not that he and Yuji had travelled super far outside the city, but there was a lot of overgrowth.]
Most of it's overgrown or some fucking kaiju probably smashed it.
[There are a few roads that he assumes is where Neo Tokyo does whatever limited trade it's able to do, but they're policed/protected and certainly have no desire to see teenagers race their bikes along them.]
Mm. I'll have to take a look sometime. I often wonder about the other cities, how people might ever get to them...
[He was born and raised in the woods, and only moved to the Capital in the last couple of years. Being brought to Neo Tokyo is the closest he'd ever get to travelling, it seemed.]
There has to be more than just this one. Even 30% of the world's population isn't going to fit in one fucking city.
[Not like this. The place would be far too overcrowded, and with the kaiju threat, there'd be way more panic and a definite interest in relocation to a place less... targeted.]

[He's irritated because he can't practice now...]
no subject
[He already misses skating. It's going to be a long nine months until it's cold enough again.]
I only say it because it's true. You're just mad because you can't go practice now.
[He's on to you.]

[They've got outsiders with magic... stuff!]

[Hey, don't leave him out.] If you find a place to skate and don't tell me... [There's only a quiet tsk noise from him on that.]

He's quiet for a moment, enjoying the ride and the scenery passing by, but his curiosity is piqued by this thing.]
So how fast can these go?
no subject
[That's half taunting, considering most vehicles aren't that complex. But Raidou's been busy, so he's not going to dig him too hard.]
Up to 160.
[But that's not the greatest idea.]
no subject
[it's going to be awhile til Raidou musters up the courage to do so.
Another thought strikes him.]
Have you travelled outside the city much?
no subject
[If he does get the courage up, then they can at least have a race of a sort.]
A few times. It's a mess.

Some highways aren't in use anymore though.
[Just an idea...]

They use vehicles, Shashou.
[Duh.]
