Kye studied the list presented to her, and gave her fellow Slytherin a smile. “Thank you, I appreciate it,” she said, trying not to sound TOO exasperated. She examined the list, looking from the diagram to the notes, and back again. Hm? What was that? Steering Wheel, not Steerer? Okay that wasn’t too far off. If anything, Kye was impressed with herself for being so close!

She continued her examination, writing in the ones that made enough sense to her. She tilted her head when she read Eria’s notes about the glovebox. “Chubby box, eh??” she couldn’t help but say something about this. Kye was rather amused by Eria’s notes, as they sounded like things that Kye would write. Eria had Kye’s seal of approval so far. She realized she kept going back to “number plate,” and decided to ask. “Okay, so I’m a little confused on this one… Is this sequence assigned to the driver or the car?” Did they keep track of drivers like that? Then if they get a new car they could just put the number plate on the new car? Or were they tracking the cars and not the drivers? It sounded like the Trace for muggles. And adult muggles nonetheless!

“Why are there so many things under the steering wheel?” Kye asked. “Couldn’t this be achieved with one alone?? Use it when you want to go, and stop using it when you want to stop?” That's what would make the most sense to her! Why did you need a separate one for each and then she didn’t understand number 6 and 8’s functions at all really.

When thanked the younger snake simply shrugged a little. "No problem." She wasn't outgoing enough to offer services, but when approached politely she actually didn't happen to mind...Especially not when it was a housemate #snakepride.

Alright, Eria may have possibly cracked a faint smile when the older snake commented on her listed alternate name for the glove compartment. "Yes, for whatever reason, I've heard that name for it. It's some sort of Muggle slang, though I'm entirely uncertain as to why they call it that. I've also heard it called a 'jockey box', a 'cubby hole', and a 'torpedo compartment'. Though I don't understand any of those names for it. Muggle slang is very strange honestly." She lived with a muggle and still didn't always get it...

When she brought up the number plate Eria nodded and thought about how to best explain it. "Mostly it tracks the car, but actually both? A person can have more than one car, so each car would have a number plate. It is linked to the driver's license number though."


Looking up at the Professor, Eria did as they were all asked and picked a part to identify. The one she liked best besides the radio was the speedometer honestly. She liked being able to easily track what speed she was accelerating at. It'd be nifty if brooms had them...

"Number 2 on the interior vehicle diagram is a 'Speedometer'. This tracks the rate at which you are accelerating, which is important as Muggle's have laws indicated with signs as to how fast you may legally travel in different areas."
