[ He can agree with that, though he figures he doesn't have to say it. Then again, even if the Natha hadn't intended it to be used again, he just has to accumulate what knowledge and skills he can. It's the same here as anywhere else. ]
I can teach you.
[ His hands are too occupied to give any nonverbal cues away. ]
[ He stops what he's writing only long enough to answer Mika, with not a moment's hesitation. ]
Of course not. There are many valuable things to be learned from common people. They are what makes a land prosperous. [ Certainly not nobles, even if he is one. Even if he is a filthy noble, his mama taught him right. ] If you can truly teach me the basics of such technology, I would be indebted to you.
[ And then, because it's the most obvious thing when he thinks about "payment". ]
Reading and writing practice. I can offer this, in return.
Mikazuki glances aside as if that's exactly what he's thinking too, paused before he boosts himself up onto the ledge proper with one of his knees. He finishes the movement with a quiet breath, the heels of his palms scattering some loose leaves. ]
Yeah, I can do it. It's what I know.
[ His gaze travels up the illuminated trunk of the tree. ]
Prosperous, huh...
[ Guided by the same tree into being a little more forthcoming than usual: ]
Is it? I didn't know such types of aircraft were prevalent in other worlds. Never would I thought it would be possible to reach the expanse of space...
[ He trails off a little, now fully resolved to ensure that they might both benefit from helping each other. ]
You will receive lessons from me, then. In return, I expect to be taught the basics of piloting, whenever the Natha Orbiters allow us access to their aircrafts. Do you agree?
i just wanted to tag it for completions sake dont judge me...

[ Not like here. Still, his chin tips in a nod. ]
If you can really teach me, I'll do it.
[ A very pointed look crosses his features. ]
I won't go easy, though.
