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. ]

[ Kakashi quirks a brow ever so slightly under his hitai-ate in response, maybe a touch of amusement softening the corner of his eye. ]

And it's a very smooth ride~

[ He adds on, just as deadpan as the previous statement, though there's a slight lilt to the end of the sentence. ]

[ The sudden burst of speed pushes Kakashi back against his seat as his pulse quickens slightly from just how unbelievably fast they're going, adrenaline pumping. But all he outwardly shows is a slightly sharper inhalation of breath, gaze completely riveted by the road. ]

[ Oh yes. It's plenty fast. Hopefully Barnaby is a very good driver and doesn't crash or something, because that would be... very uncomfortable. Safeties on or not. ]

Not bad.

[ Kakashi quips, but his tone has taken on a slightly elevated pitch. ]

I'm thinking I should probably also learn how to drive a car.

[ Kakashi says lightly, glancing at Barnaby as he visibly relaxes now that the car's not going quite as insanely fast as it was. (Though really, that was fun. That was really fun. And kind of exciting, in its own way.) ]

If you'd like to teach me.

Mm! I'd offer to teach you something in return, but I'm not sure I have anything you'd want to learn~

[ Actually, Kakashi has plenty of things he could teach Barnaby, but he's not going to just let that on so easily. Rather let Barnaby believe that he really has absolutely nothing of value to offer, and consider his teaching Kakashi new skills some sort of... community service. Or something along those lines. ]

I don't actually know what I can offer, but if you think of something, let me know~

[ Kakashi's actually banking on the fact that he doesn't think Barnaby will think of something, or at least hopes he won't. It'll make his life a lot easier if he doesn't have any obligations to anyone, after all. ]
