The only capacity in which Neal knew what any of those mechanical terms were was from the few times he'd let Mozzie force him into watching some of the science fiction shows that the younger man was pretty sure helped make Moz as paranoid as he was. Neal didn't have to hide his ignorance from Vala on that front, if only because she already knew he was from earth in 2011. When she settled on one, he nodded his agreement. Once his eyes settled on the ship, even he knew that the vessel was pretty. It might be the future but Neal still had an appraiser's eye.
"Pretty is nice. You know guys like me..." Neal said, knowing Vala didn't know anything at all about the kind of guy he actually was. "Hopefully it doesn't need maintenance every other trip like Audis."
Hating his broken arm, Neal really wanted to lay on that extra touch and subtly touch Vala. Women loved when an attract man was proximal and the manipulation you could use once a woman was attracted to you was a whole nother level. A level Neal Caffrey excelled at. Instead, he had to settle for that dashing smile. There was something less than sexy about clumsily banging your injuries into people.
"Want to lead the way to the test drive?"
It took everything Neal had to not verbalize the quotation marks around "test drive" he was hearing in his head. Hopefully Vala wouldn't hate him if she ever realized he'd intended to steal the ship and get her to pilot it from the start. Once they were away from the castle's otherworldly reaches, maybe he could get on figuring out where the hell his future was going to go.
