Thopters, huh - with a design like dragonflies. He thinks about gliders, but that doesn't match the finger-fluttering; wonders if dragonflies mean the same thing between them, but if he were to show how their wings work, Paul's example wouldn't be far off.

Well, it's a lot more experience with flying vehicles than himself. It's a topic he could've easily done something with: talked more about cars, vehicles; used what he learned when figuring how to hot wire them, then when working in a dealership. But there comes that turn - through a compliment, given out rather effortlessly. Or so he's found, a handful of 'You're doing better than I did's and 'People have a harder time's already under his belt.

It didn't mean anything to him. But it does make the relaxed neutral-to-friendly hold of his mouth quirk toward a small smile, a brow slightly raise at Paul. Curious.

"What'd you do?" There's a story there, obviously. What does not taking it well look like?
