[ And no, he doesn't need directions. Reggie says nothing to that, for once knowing when it's better to keep his mouth shut, and instead silently watches Sweet Pea fold himself slightly to fit inside the car. He's not that much taller than Reggie, really, but enough for it to make a difference-- Reggie usually pretends like he doesn't notice, but it's hard not to at a time like this.
It's true that his shit-talking is not usually very precisely aimed and often he just gets lucky by merit of checking the most likely boxes, but that works a significant percent of the time; people are rarely so complicated that they can't still be grazed by a cutting comment or two, even if Reggie doesn't know their life. Sweet Pea is different, though. Nothing seems to impress or intimidate him, which are the main two ways Reggie knows how to interact with people.
He clears his throat and looks away before he can get caught staring, pulling out of the parking space and onto the road. It's not too far by car, at least, probably 15 minutes or less if he drives fast. ]
