Mm! Besides, it doesn't seem all that complicated, is it.

[ At least, as far as Kakashi can tell, the handles control the different gears of the engine, acceleration, deceleration, steering, and braking; and there appears to be a foot brake that seems to control another one of the braking mechanisms. ]

Hai, hai, don't worry. I think I'll be just fine.

[ Unfortunatley for Kakashi, 120mph tosses has probably happened in his time, not that he particularly enjoys them. Or would like to replicate them. But the point is, Kakashi has a real aptitude for learning things.

...or more specifically, copying them. ]

In any case, are there any cool tricks you can do? Or is this it?

[ Of course, Barnaby doesn't know that Kakashi has awesome ninja eye hacks. ]

Any particularly useful techniques?

[ In chasing people down on a motorcycle, he means. ]

Mm, I see.

[ This is a satisfactory answer to Kakashi, who has no reason to doubt anything Barnaby says or dig further. At least, for now. ]

Well, if that's the case, why don't you show me how a car works?

[ Excellent taste, huh? Kakashi'd just picked the brightest one of the bunch. He shrugs and then heads on over to where Barnaby gestured, and looks down at the door, which seems to have a handle on it. He tries it, and pulls, opening the door. There's a very comfortable set of seats in the car, and he gets in, then closes the door after him, waiting for Barnaby to hop in as well. ]

Hmmm, it's rather comfortable.

[ Actually, these seats are very comfortable, and the ride is very smooth, not at all like the rumble of a motorcycle. All things considered, they're going quite fast, from what Kakashi can tell from the surroundings. ]

I suppose it'd be easy to go long distances in this with multiple passengers.

[ Okay, he's starting to see its utility, though in Luceti, there isn't too much ground to cover, is there. ]

Hmm... I see. So they can be quite useful. Even if they might not have the best defenses.

[ An ambush attack on a vehicle would make it not very defensible, after all. Though, in terms of transportation, it does make a very useful tool. Kakashi is starting to see why cars are of so much value to Barnaby. ]

[ Okay.

That gets Kakashi's attention. After all, he doesn't have these sort of things in his world. ]

Do you think the garage might have armored vehicles?

[ Kakashi considers this for a moment. Having transportation certainly can be useful as it'd allow them to navigate vast stretches of terrain faster. But at the same time, knowledge is power, and right now, Kakashi wants knowledge more than anything else. ]

Good to know.

[ He nods and then directions his attention back out to the road. ]

How fast does this car go, anyway?

[ Kakashi's primary concern is gaining as much understanding of the world around them, which might allow them to find a way out, or to gain access to the upper echelons of power which control the space they're in. Cars, unfortunately, do not help him very much in that endeavor.

Even if they're rather convenient, comfortable modes of transportation and interesting to ride in. ]

As fast as you can.

[ Kakashi glances back over to Barnaby, something like curiosity gleaming in his eye. ]

[ Wow.

They're going fast. Very, very fast. Kakashi's a little surprised at how quickly the car picked up speed and just how fast it can go, with the world whirling by in a blur. If he had to estimate, they're going well over a hundred by now, if not more. This could certainly be very, very useful if weaponized correctly, he thinks, but ah, the issue of controlling it might be a problem, especially with sudden turns.

Either way, he's mildly impressed. ]

[ Even if Kakashi doesn't show much by the way of outward reaction, the intensity in his gaze, the way he's become more focused is quite obvious to someone who knows how to look for it. He returns the smile with a dip of the head, and then after another moment or so of watching the world zoom by, he finally says-- ]

Well, I suppose it goes quite fast.

[ Deadpan. ]
