The little kiss makes K's expression light up with a surprised, happy smile. There's an urge to lean in for a proper one, but then Jayce is already gone, circling around outside the spinner to get a better look. His enthusiasm and excitement are charming. Hopefully he'll enjoy flying just as much.

"Technically more aircraft than car," K replies. "I'm a pilot. And the scissor doors are useful for maneuvering and landing in tight spaces." Once Jayce is seated, the doors begin to slowly close, providing him with a first hand look at the operation of the hinges. K also helps him with the flight harness to ensure he's fully strapped in.

He takes the time to answer each of Jayce's questions about the functions, going into as much detail as Jayce wants. They have time. Luckily the main flight controls are all on K's side, so any poking around Jayce might do isn't a big deal — and K even encourages him to fiddle with the displays if he wants to, explaining the different modes and what his spinner is capable of scanning for. It would be beneficial for Jayce to familiarise himself so he can track whatever types of minerals he'd like to collect.

"So do you," K replies to the compliment, reaching to squeeze Jayce's hand as his expression softens with fondness. "Thank you for thinking of me." For making time for him. With how much of a social butterfly Jayce is and now having multiple other partners, K doesn't imagine it's easy, and there's that insecure part of him that wonders if he wouldn't rather be spending his time with Mel or Viktor. The three share so much history that it makes K feel like an outsider at times.

Ah, but he doesn't want to ruin their time together with his brooding. Pushing those thoughts aside, he initiates the spinner's vertical takeoff, handling the controls with an ease that seems second-nature. It's a smooth ascent, the spinner's slow rise keeping the g-force to a minimum, at least at first — the mark of an experienced pilot. Then he accelerates, and the ground rapidly falls away beneath them.

"Doing okay?" he asks as he looks back to Jayce for his reaction. He knows Runeterra has airships and presumably Jayce has been on one before, but he just wants to make sure this is a good experience for him.
