Still, you got to fly! With Obi-Wan; Billy, this is just like -

[Wait wait, give him a second as he stretches his legs. Literally, enough to actually get into the cockpit himself and stare at the controls with big smile as he lowers himself into the seat.]

It's just like Star Wars! I feel like I'm about to fly out and help destroy the Death Star right now...

Oh god, thankfully there's no-

[Teddy what

Teddy hold on

Teddy what are you doing-]

Oh my god, are you crazy? If somebody catches you in one of those things without flight training, we are so screwed...!

Come on, it's just for a minute or two! It's not like I want to fly it.

[Except he does, he so does, and he knows that if he could, he'd be out there with this thing doing flips and loops and barrel rolls and laughing all the while. And Billy probably knows it too.]

... So how do you do flight training? [It's a perfectly innocent question.]

[Pfft, liar. He totally knows you're full of shit, Teddy, even before the training question. Billy glances from side to side to check for any nearby staff, then floats up to sit on the edge of the cockpit, legs crossed.]

There's simulators over on the far side- I've tried them a few times, and they'll definitely put the fear of god in you for a while. But they're easy to get started, and they've got tutorials and everything.

[With Billy at his side now, Teddy looks up to give him a smile before he turns back to the controls, hands hovering as if he's unsure where to put them first. Might as well go for what steers the thing; and once they're there, Teddy's smile grows wider, and he looks forward as if he's envisioning taking off right now.]

So - What, just a few simulations and you're licensed to fly?

[Billy's torn between indulgent affection and borderline terror because oh god what if it's on or something stop touching that. Still, Teddy looks like he's having a blast, so he won't say anything. Yet.]

More or less, assuming you don't constantly crash in the sims.

[It sure doesn't look on to him, look the lights aren't even on or blinking or anything, they're fiiiiine

Teddy looks at all the controls while Billy's talking - not to turn it on or anything, really, honestly, he's just. Looking. And a new sort of excitement comes over his smile when Billy's words register.]

Sort of like mastering a video game... [That's basically what a sim is, he's got this. But no, he knows it's way harder than that; doesn't put a damper on his excitement at all, though.]

Ha... no game I'd want to play. [Billy gestures vaguely at the overly-complicated control panel.] You remember the screenshots of all those MMOs with a hundred icons and commands covering half the screen? That's the kind of game the sims are.
