"Is it that different from a simulator?"
Shirou sighs, his eyes not leaving the screen.
"It is, and it's disturbingly like a video game."
"How is that disturbing? It's just a toy, after all."
Shirou guides the drone to onto the pavement, then hands the control back to Haruto.
"I think that attitude is probably the worst part. The technology is interesting. Even I can see how it could be useful. But I can't help thinking about it like a pilot. If you're not careful about where and how you use it, it could fall out of the air and really hurt somebody."
Haruto flies the drone toward himself, then snatches it out of the air. "You're taking this too seriously. It's not one of your 747s. It's not even a Cessna. Shirou, a drone is light enough to carry in one hand."
"So is a coconut, and those can also kill a person if one falls on their head."
"We're not going to agree on this, are we?" Haruto opens his car and tosses the drone and controller onto the seat.
"Sorry, buddy. I'm a pilot. At any rate, I'm going to be one."
"Yeah, yeah." Haruto digs out a basketball and passes it to Shirou. "Think you can take me at hoops, Air Shirou?"
Shirou grins. "You know it!"
