[ Arcade is more than happy to pull off the road, uncomfortable behind the wheel for a number of reasons - but chief among which remains that this past month and change has been the only experience he's had with driving, and he still hasn't developed much of a liking for it. It certainly beats walking everywhere for efficiency, but he's found the tradeoff leaves him feeling far too restless without breaking up the monotony more than not.
So he jumps at the chance to unburden himself of the rusty hunk of military surplus he's stuck driving around, and get a little fresh air. He's been feeling better since leaving the forest behind, all of this open space still far too green to be familiar but closer to it, definitely. A lot of sun and wind, at least, and even if the latter does have a sort of ominous quality to it (between the fast-moving clouds, and those decaying electric towers with their sun-faded dress of kites and balloons and suspicious notes all rattling and battering about) it's still a stark improvement.
Maybe it's catching, too, because Jayce looks significantly improved, himself. ...Not that that's saying much, considering Arcade's prior impressions of him. Both of which are likely why he hesitates, still, looking up at the precariously balanced ruins they're pulled off alongside, as he joins Jayce by his truck. ]
You sure you're feeling up to this? It doesn't look like it's going to be easy getting in there.
[ Between avoiding the husks and more than a bit of rubble to navigate, anyway. ]
