Unfortunately for Shrike (or maybe definitely fortunately), Dimitri is the kind of person to lavish compliments on those he cares about whenever he can get away with it. And Shrike makes that very easy to do.

But for now, Dimitri focuses on getting back onto the bike, and tries to focus purely on the fact that it's a bike. Something that is all up to him. He was already doing well enough until he tried to do anything but a straight line...

Fortunately, he kicks off decently once again, and manages to not crash into a bush. Progress! He goes to look to Shrike to smile, only too immediately start wobbling because - shoot - hold on he's got this under control again.
