[ It is important, actually!! And Fern isn't going to simply forget what she just witnessed, but she does set it aside for now as he starts to explain.
Naturally, she does have follow-up questions, but she holds her tongue on them. It's not as if she asked for this lesson in the first place, but it seems that she's going to get it either way. She remounts the bike and turns it on again, allowing the engine to idle this time. (Not that she particularly appreciates him calling it a "piece of shit," but she'll test his theory.) ]
You know quite a bit about this. [ It's clear from how he explains things, how he takes certain pieces of information for granted because he assumes they're a given. She isn't quite sure about thanking him, given how he's been behaving, but she doesn't interrupt and she does listen with close attention. ] I'll keep this all in mind...
[ There's a pause, wherein she looks around. ] And what of your vehicle?
