[Alhaitham quickly buckles the seat belt as the ride jolts alive, because safety first. They're carried higher and higher into the air before it begins to spin like a top with rapidly building speed.

...

It's impossible to tell how much Alhaitham is actually enjoying this, because he sits with the same expression as ever, occasionally craning his neck to watch the machine itself.]

You have to take in the view, Al!!

[ SIR THE MACHINE IS NOT THAT FUN ]

[justscribing]

I am. [The view of the machine's function, that is. There's no way it can be operating on a ball joint at this size even thought the outer shell looks like one.

The world spinning around them? Irrelevant.]

[fanstheflames]

[ Wow.

Well, she supposes as long as he's having fun, it doesn't necessarily matter what ends up holding his attention most? Maybe? He's fascinated with something, at least, so she won't try to call his attention away to anything else. ]

[Alhaitham is no Kshahrewar, but who could call themselves a scholar if they weren't willing to keep up with the changing trends of technology? Society changes by its innovations. This is an amusement park, but this large-scale machinery must be applicable to other industries as well--how has it effected construction? Mobility? Kaveh wanted to take them apart, but it won't be feasible as long as they keep turning on all on their own. But perhaps there's still a way to open a panel and peer inside.

Anyway.

The ride spins around for about five minutes, enough for hypothetical riders to get a quick thrill from the adrenaline before going to the next one. Alhaitham's heels scrape against the platform as it comes to a stop. He dislodges himself from the seat.]
