Neal was very much out of his element in the future but after he'd managed to wipe the astounded expression from his face, most wouldn't have known the difference. Already a calm and charismatic smile was in his features, replacing the childlike excitement that Neal reluctantly buried for a later time when he could privately reel from the space age reality. Coming up behind Vala, he was close. He did his best to appear as though he was just looking closely but giving the appearance of being with the confident woman was a part of his con.
"Well... they all look amazing," he said, not having to fake the tone of wonderment as Vala's long fingers flipped through the holoscreens quickly.
Though he really wanted to touch the futuristic display, Neal just managed to keep his hands to himself. Knowing his luck he'd end up calling the police if he tapped the wrong way. Moreover, Vala was scrolling through at a speed he couldn't have come close to.
"You seem like you know this a bit better than I do, I'll default to your expertise."
Lay on the compliment, seem helpless, let her do the work. Neal's con was going well so far.
