"Well, I mean, flying's just driving with another dimension to worry about, surely." Surely not. Dirk is going to scoff anyway. Psh.
"Doesn't preclude the instructors. I mean, from what I remember, mine must have been terrible." In a past life, one now largely beyond Dirk's recall, his driving would've been classifiable as more than simply reckless. An accident, judging by what he remembers of the accident itself, would have been fairly inevitable. What he can't remember is why he'd have been driving that way in the first place.
Maybe it matters, maybe it doesn't. Either way, he's sort of enjoying the feeling that he's being let in on something, like Aranea considers him worth confiding in, even though they've just met. "Either way, very curious. Probably. D'you know, it's actually quite hard to tell without a frame of reference. For all I know, this sort of thing happens all the time everywhere, and I'm only feeling right now that it doesn't."
