It's an inventory system, it's weird - but yeah, that's flashstep, the moving thing. So pretty much you can tell me where I'm goin' and I'll drop you there?
[ SHE'S IN THE 8TH GRADE HE DOESN'T WANT HER WALKING HOME ALONE... ]
[HELL YES IT'S WEIRD, DON'T JUST BRUSH THAT OFF, DAVE oh well coolkids gonna coolkid i guess]
Okay, yeah! We can do that. I don't live too far, just like... a mile or so? That's not too far normally, anyway. Is that okay?
[if it is we can just use our time powers to skip to the next bit. Ami gives good directions, despite everything looking really different from ground level and at high speed.]
so yes they make it there without much incident, except at the very end when she forgets to say "stop" in time and they overshoot it a little. she's excited and having fun, so sue her.]
Uh - we can walk from here. [They're only about a house and a half away, and it doesn't look like there's any small animals in between, so that's perfectly doable. Ami gets down from his back, smooths her skirt and adjusts her pigtails, and then points it out.]
Oh, no, you're welcome! I mean, thank you! You're the one who paid for them and everything.
[And got her safely there and back. And gave her a bunch of leads to pester follow. Okay actually he was a lot more helpful than she was in all respects.]
Want to come inside? Get some water, or...? [He did just do a whole bunch of running while carrying her, so it's the least she can do.]
Nah, it's chill. I mean, if you want me to meet your family - if we're gonna be hangin' out more? - I can, but otherwise I can grab shit at home, no worries.
[ he may not be thrilled about triggering memories in people but he does want to keep tabs on ami, rip. ]
[HEY SPEAKING OF TRIGGERING MEMORIES - Ami trails off, and her eyes glaze over suddenly as one smacks her right in the face. The memory itself is about as tame as it gets, but the vividness of it catches her off guard. Dave is there - it's the same visit as before, she realizes, but a little later on, and -
The reverie lasts only a few seconds. Ami rubs her eyes and shakes her head clear.]
[It really was. One second she was standing outside her house with Dave, and the next she was ... standing outside her house with Dave? And he decided not to come in that time, either, but before that...
so what am i supposed to do now that im dead
Oh. Oh dear.
There's some serious concern when she looks at him, too. In the vision, Dave Strider was dead. She didn't know how he'd died, or when, but she'd been talking to his ghost the whole time. You could make a movie out of that.]
I think, uh... [She swallows nervously.] I think you were a ghost.
[There is almost definitely a timeline in which that happened. (The crew consists of nakkadiles.)
Ami laughs a little, relaxing but not completely.] You didn't seem too worked up then, either, though. You were like, "Cool, where are the hauntoffs at?"

[the miracle of ~income~, haha... she'll thank him for doing that! but at the mention of "flashstep" she brightens (like more than she already was).]
Is that what it's called? That would be awesome, actually!
