It wouldn't take long at all. Not just because I know you can learn it all easily, [ Coordinator perks and all. But even that aside, he knows Dearka can be as impressive, as smart and as cool as he is, if he puts his mind to it. (since clearly yzak is the bar, here, and he can never be surpassed) ] but because we're already quite knowledgeable where our machines are concerned. Even if it's not meant to be our top priority.
You should do it. I've been reading up on what aerospace engineering books I've come across here, with all of this extra downtime. [ Something self explanatory; it makes sense for Yzak to look into his hometown's specialty if he aims to continue climbing the ladder back home. ] If you get your foot in the door, that means I'd also have access to take closer looks at how different machinery works. It's much better to see and touch than just read about it, after all.
[ It's a win-win on all fronts, he thinks.
And, regarding Dearka's mention of coming here being less appealing, Yzak was considering noting that it's a quick, easy, and rather good lunch break option. And schedules allowing, he'd even use his perks to go drop off something to his partner. But suddenly with this talk of their mobile suits and Yzak's mention of his own reading he's doing on the side...
One of his little holo-ears twitch thoughtfully a couple of times. He's already very much on the fence about this 'job', but suddenly it feels that much more ... unimportant in comparison. Unimportant and silly, given how much he's been laughed at since he started this. He hasn't hated it - in fact, he's rather enjoyed it (and he's weak to the cats, his brethren), but it's always difficult for Yzak to feel comfortable doing something he doesn't see as incredibly useful. Even when he is constantly keeping himself busy with a million other very important things.
Putting his cup back down, he idly runs a finger back and forth along part of the rim. ]
The potential to benefit our odds of survival...
I should be looking into something similarly useful. Instead of bothering with this for any longer.
