"Nice to meet you, Pearl!" A bit of a grin and then he leaned into the car, looking over the engine. "Now, let's see what we've got here..."

Luckily for her, Chris did seem to know how to proceed, going straight past any delegation or teamwork and investigating the engine himself. He tweaked and pulled a few things, used a tool here and shone a flashlight there- from a device sitting in its own holster on the strange gloves he was wearing -and leaned in a bit further. Every now and then he'd ask for a tool from Pearl or to have her help him hold, pull, or re-fasten something, and after a little while of all of this he stepped away.

"Alright, watch your head!" He detached the hood's hook and lowered the hood, letting it drop the last few inches so it clapped shut. Smiling, he brushed his hands off. "Okay, crank 'er up and see whatcha got."
