Lucas rode next to Rue, telling her to sit down so she wouldn't fall off her bike. She rolled her eyes but sat down anyway, gaining speed for him to chase after her, laughing as he cracked a few jokes.

Rue wouldn't have liked that, she always told Max to stop doing that, and Max would tell Rue to stop chewing on her lip.
