On his third cup of coffee, someone please stop him.

songs make me emotional.

[＆ 。/ / 𝙏𝙄𝙍𝙀𝘿 𝘿𝘼𝘿 @th3wldow]

Really ? What a shame, I would have loved to hear it.

I don't play piano much myself, I used to play for my wife when she was home but not so much anymore.

[ He's simply lost the will to play. ]

Still love it though and I can listen to others play but certain+

+ but I don't have the time or dexterity for it anymore.

never admit that. ]

I don't have many hobbies so this keeps me relaxed.

I guess I could go back to the piano but I'm not quite comfortable with that yet.

[ Reminds him too much of the past. ]

[＆ 。/ / 𝙏𝙄𝙍𝙀𝘿 𝘿𝘼𝘿 @th3wldow]

I can't judge you since I'm no better.

I've been told I can be stubborn sometimes, at least when it comes to work. If I can't do work ,whether it's personal projects or my actual job, I lose my mind.

[ Work is the only thing that distracts him but he would+

[— 𝘋𝘳. 𝘓𝘰𝘵𝘰𝘳 𝘐𝘴𝘩𝘬𝘢. @RadiantCobalt]

+ what, his need to feel like he's doing something? He shouldn't be contorting himself to solder in place wires, but that stingy thing called 'stubbornness' had no intention of going anywhere. ]

Maybe I just keep it up to pretend I'm still young and healthy.

a diner or something similar ?"

[＆ 。/ / 𝙏𝙄𝙍𝙀𝘿 𝘿𝘼𝘿 @th3wldow]

"Can I least pay you a little bit for the bottle then. Even if it's no big deal I don't think a simple thank you is enough."

He fishes out his wallet because he won't take no for an answer.

"Or if not money, how about a meal ? I didn't pack anything so do you guys have+

[ゼル・ディン @ehrgeizofbalamb]

"I get it, there's a lot of stuff on your plate," Zell empathized as he eyed the older man.

"But as far as this goes? Don't sweat it! You should be good to go, soon as you're back in a solid spot with radiator fluid. I can grab a bottle real quick."

[＆ 。/ / 𝙏𝙄𝙍𝙀𝘿 𝘿𝘼𝘿 @th3wldow]

"I'll try not to but worry might as well be my middle name now.", he finally steps out of the car and leans against it.

[ゼル・ディン @ehrgeizofbalamb]

"Don't worry too much about it," Zell replied, "I'm sure you wouldn't be one anyway."

[＆ 。/ / 𝙏𝙄𝙍𝙀𝘿 𝘿𝘼𝘿 @th3wldow]

"Well I'm glad I'm not being an inconvenience then.", shuts off the engines and opens the door, although he doesn't leave the car.

[ゼル・ディン @ehrgeizofbalamb]

"I'm sure, no charge. Besides, it's not taking anything outta my day to give you a hand. Shut off the engine, and from here, we'll let it rest for about ten minutes."

[＆ 。/ / 𝙏𝙄𝙍𝙀𝘿 𝘿𝘼𝘿 @th3wldow]

"Right. Think my oldest son had mentioned it once but I probably forgot. I'll try to remember it though. Are you sure you don't want any money for your troubles though ?"

[ゼル・ディン @ehrgeizofbalamb]

"Nothing hard. Letting the engine rest, first of all. Then, I'm gonna check to see if you've got enough antifreeze, 'cause you could be out of it. Good rule of thumb is taking care of that every few months."

[＆ 。/ / 𝙏𝙄𝙍𝙀𝘿 𝘿𝘼𝘿 @th3wldow]

"Well what's the next step after this ?"

[ゼル・ディン @ehrgeizofbalamb]

"Give it about five minutes and then you can shut it off again. After that, I'll handle the next steps."

[＆ 。/ / 𝙏𝙄𝙍𝙀𝘿 𝘿𝘼𝘿 @th3wldow]

"I don't know anything about cares but I can see the logic behind that."

Jun nods his head and slips inside of the car. He turns the engine on and lets it run.

[ゼル・ディン @ehrgeizofbalamb]

Following along, Zell cracked his knuckles, ready to start. Popping open the hood, eagle eye studied the engine.

"First, I'm gonna need you to start it and crank up the heat inside. That'll draw heat away from the engine itself."

[＆ 。/ / 𝙏𝙄𝙍𝙀𝘿 𝘿𝘼𝘿 @th3wldow]

Jun points to a silver car he had pulled over in before simply walking the rest of the way.

"Nice to meet you Zell. You can call me Jun."

[ゼル・ディン @ehrgeizofbalamb]

"Understandable. Just point me to the car and I'll give it a once over. Name's Zell Dincht, by the way. Good to meet you!"

And luckily, his hometown has a car rental shop where he spent a lot of time observing and soaking up know-how.

[＆ 。/ / 𝙏𝙄𝙍𝙀𝘿 𝘿𝘼𝘿 @th3wldow]

"Probably but I didn't have a choice. Although I feel bad for pushing it this hard."

The travel from his home in the city and his in-laws' home was a long one and he just hasn't been taking care of things like how he used to.

[ゼル・ディン @ehrgeizofbalamb]

"Yikes," Zell frowned slightly, "Way too long. And you've been risking doing worse damage to the engine because of that. I'm no specialist, but I'm pretty solid with machines. I can give it a look for you, no charge."

[＆ 。/ / 𝙏𝙄𝙍𝙀𝘿 𝘿𝘼𝘿 @th3wldow]

"For awhile. At last almost a month now."

[ゼル・ディン @ehrgeizofbalamb]

"Recently, or for a while?"

[＆ 。/ / 𝙏𝙄𝙍𝙀𝘿 𝘿𝘼𝘿 @th3wldow]

"My car has been overheating."

[ゼル・ディン @ehrgeizofbalamb]

"What's the issue, sir?"
