Just as the driver goes to open his mouth to reply the car sputters and rolls to a stop. He panics. His first instinct is to smack the wheel, because surely that's the solution to the problem??

The driver, who was called James (not that Nina ever asked) was way over his head. He was tasked by his boss, the self proclaimed cinematic genius Otto Siegfried Wundermann to bring his latest muse to the film set. He could barely follow directions at the best of times let alone drive at the same time. And now the car has broken down too? He was screwed.

"I'm thinking it's gonna take more than a minute to get to the hotel, darling?" Nina says to break the silence. "But first, i don't think breaking your hands is really gonna help" She motions to the steering wheel.

The Driver takes a breath, and walks out of the car. Now the trunk would normally have a few tools but with all of Nina's costumes sitting in there, he doubts that a wig and few sequins will save the day. He rubs his beard thoughtfully.

Nina, suspecting that her driver not the kind of man that can deal with a crisis, pops her head out the window and gives him one of her winning smiles. "Now i'm just a just a silly lil girl, but I think if you open the engine, it should cool down after a bit?" Her suggestion was anything but silly but in her experience it pays to play the ditzy airhead when it comes to men's egos.

The Driver, claps his thigh like he has just had a brilliant idea. "I will go open the bonnet-" He rushes forward to open the latch. "Good id-Wait-" Nina tries to interrupt the man, but her driver is as determined as he is stupid and now a colourful array of German curse words fill the countryside. "...it will be hot" she finishes and the driver cradles his hand.

The driver swaggers over to Nina's window, arm behind his back as if nothing has happened, "ha, ha, Nothing Jimmy can't handle, doll" he winks, though it looks more like a grimace. He's burnt himself pretty badly. "Now, how about you stay in the car. And I'll walk back to that barn, might have some tools. B-BUT not to worry, everything is under control."

"Well, where else would I go sugar pie?" Nina giggles but internally she was less than pleased. As she watches her driver walk off through the wing mirror her smile disappears and she moves to the front seat, checking over the gear stick, pedals and wheel. "Looks all okay" she mutters to herself. She notes the keys still in the ignition. She'll wait a moment before trying the engine again, it just looks like it overheated.

It takes Nina a grand total of 16 and a half minutes before she gets bored of waiting and tries starting the car. The car roars back to life, no worse for wear. "Well, that solves than then." she says triumphantly. She hops out the car and puts the bonnet back into place. "Hmm, not even warm anymore..." she thought it least be warm from the sunshine? Her train of thought is broken by something catching her eye. She turns her head to see the glint of metal obscured by bits of shrubbery.

It only takes her a couple of steps to realise that what she was looking at was in fact a metal gate. "And this must be that mythical right turn he kept going on about" She looks behind her to see if her Hero has come back victoriously from the barn but no such luck. "really? must I do everything myself?" It doesn't take too much effort to swing open the gate, it looked like it had been recently used. Best case scenario she'd find the film set herself, but if not perhaps it would lead to a farm and she could get directions.

Not wanting to spend another minute longer in this boring forest she jumps into the car and starts tooting the horn. "EY JIMMAY" her accent slips to her native Bostonian before she adjusts back to her actress persona. "MISTER JAMES. IF YOU DON'T GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE IN THE NEXT TWENTY SECONDS I'M DRIVING TO THE SET WITHOUT YOU DAR~LING~"

Nina revs the engine while watching her mirrors, waiting for any sign of James to appear. She even gives him an extra ten seconds! She rolls her eyes and hops out of the car again. "LOOK, I'M LEAVING YOU AN ARROW ON THE ROAD. YOU CAN'T MISS IT." she takes a couple of branches from the side of the road and makes an arrow pointing to the hidden right turn. "There, idiot proof... Oh wait." She leaves a couple of rocks in a shape of a heart. "PERFECT." and with that, she dusts her hands and makes her way down the road in the car.
