( after a moment's breath of listening to the other man speak about 'luxury' and cars, of the idea of something automated enough to drive itself blossoms in his mind with potential intricacies that would be worth exploring, gustave lets out a quiet laugh. )

Incroyable. I suppose it can definitely be possible.

( he is thinking with elements that he understands; should there be something akin to chroma here, perhaps it could be fused together with what rudimentary technology is already here, combine the two. the lumina converter was only a dream until it became reality, after all.

there's an extension of excitement growing in him, despite his first impression of a guy down-in-the-dumps. )

Would it be much to ask — what you do know of cars? There seems to be an engineering element to make it run, but there are other... aspects. ( gustave motions at the dashboard, the knobs, the buttons, switches. ) I assume it all holds a function connecting to the engine.

( principles of engineering and all. )
