Mink holds out her hand showing she already had her coat in hand. She then slips it on and stands outside the doorway waiting for him to come out of the house so they could go.

Giving another wave to Zeke, Jake followed Mink outside, closing the door behind him. His black car was just a short walk away, but still he offered Mink his hand to hold. He was sure that she could have made the short trip on her own; he just liked the idea of escorting her anyway.

Mink did enjoy it. To hold a hand again, and also in a funny way she can feel almost like a lady with her knight. Which made her wonder how her own leader Lady Pheme and her people are doing now? the last time she spoke was over a month ago and work on their village was still underway. A home is not built in a day. Not to mention they needed time to get use to their new lives as humans. Mink lets Jake lead her all the way to the car then takes a seat in the front passenger side.

"Remember to buckle up." Jake said with a smirk, purposefully talking with the tone of a diligent father to tease her. He then closed the door for her, walked over to the driver's side, and got in.
"So, how's your day been so far?" he asked as he started his car and shifted gears from parked to reverse, turning his head to watch out the back windshield as he started to pull out of Zeke's driveway.

"A slow morning I guess you can say." Mink wasn't sure if she should tell Jake about her dream. She did when the first came, but after a while she only told Zeke. Jake has done so much for her. Not to mention he went through his own trauma back in that time.

"Eh, I'd take a slow morning over a hectic one any day." Jake said with a shrug, pulling out if the driveway completely and now driving on the main road.
"I know that you still aren't an expert on walking yet." Jake said, continuing the small talk, "but just think. In another year or two, you might be able to drive. And I would be a great teacher, if I do say so myself."

"I think find these 'cars' a strange thing. I know humans would ride animals, or even have carriages pulled by them. But this thing is made of metal and no animal is used. You even say horsepower when there is no horse. Living in this new world like a human is so strange. So where are we heading? You never were specific when we planned it."

"Well, I planned to take you to a retro little diner not too far from here." Jake explained. "But since you already ate, I figure it would be best to go to the park for a while first."
The car ride lasted for around another ten minutes before the park came into view and Jake pulled into the parking lot. He parked and turned off the car, got out, and walked over to the passenger side to help Mink out.

"A dinner this early in the day? Is the clock in your mind off?" she teased but saying the term wrong. What she meant to call it was an internal clock. Another thing they've been trying to teach her as she adjusts to new terms. Mink climbs out of the car and looks around. The park was really lovely today; flowers blooming, a perfectly placed stone pathway, a cute fountain. And there was also a decent playground for kids to play on.

"Y'know, they serve breakfast, too..." Jake grumbled as he also got out of the car, scratching the back of his head. "In hindsight, maybe it woulda been better just to have a picnic here. But anyway, what do you want to do first?"

Mink looks around and hears some kids laughing. Looking over the direction the sound came from she saw a group of three young kids running around the playground sidewalk on some kind of wheel shoes. "What are those children over there doing?" She points to them but not so much it would be rude.

"They're on rollerblades." Jake explained. "It's a special kind of shoes to have fun in, with wheels on the bottom of them. I don't think you're ready to try anything like that just yet, but when you are I could buy you a pair if you want."

"I am already use to walking and can do well on my own. And even though I forget my shoes doesn't mean i don't know how they work. Are these Rollerblades that difficult?"

"Well, I mean you'd fall a bit trying to get used to them." Jake said, scratching the back of his head. "I just don't want to see you get hurt. I guess if you want to jump into something like that, I can buy you a pair soon. I don't want to limit you from what you can do."

"It's okey Jacob, you've already taught me so many new things within these months." Mink walks a few steps away from the boy and does a little twirl. "How about some time on the swings?" She gives her friend a soft smile.
