[Envy holds still while the photos are taken, except for how his ears twitch at each snap of the shutter.]

[Every time he thinks there's a break in the photography, he turns his head so that he can glance back and look at Henry. At least once, he just tilts his head back and looks at him partially upside-down.]

_{[When eye-contact is made, Henry pauses with his own ears swept out to the sides.]}

Too much...?

[invidia]

Huh? Nah, I just can't help being curious. I think it comes with the species.

[He gives Henry a grin that he hopes is reassuring? He's not great at being reassuring.]

And your camera takes pictures a lot easier than what I'm used to.

[reluctantreceiver]

_{[Henry snaps another photo accidentally while Envy's mouth is wide open as he speaks. Whups.]}

Really? What are cameras like in your world?

[invidia]

Well, this world's more advanced than mine with a lot of things...the cameras I'm used to are these clunky boxes with some....accordion thing attached to one end, that extends out with the lens on it.

[As he explains, he tries to gesture with his hands.]

[reluctantreceiver]

Wow...I wish I could have seen that. I've seen a few like that on display back home but never any in action. In my world they were even more advanced than this one.

_{[The very tip of the nymph's vine tail starts to twitch as his interest grows.]}

They've become so small. Small as...

_{[He makes a small square with his long fingers.]}

And the pictures they take are so clear and bright.

[invidia]

[When Envy sees the size that Henry's pantomiming, his eyes widen in impressed, almost disbelieving surprise.]

Really? That small? How does everything fit in something like that?

I thought cameras needed all kinds of junk in them to work!

[He's not really versed on camera construction but he knows the basic idea.]

[reluctantreceiver]

It's all digital--like the way our RSDOS machines take photos. There aren't any moving parts inside modern cameras except for the zoom lenses.

There are even cameras small enough to go inside of people to help surgeons see better.

[invidia]

[That's all actually really interesting. And, like earlier with the plants, it's...kind of nice, listening to Henry be excited about something, even if it's not really something that Envy would usually think about much.]

We didn't have anything like the RSDOS machines either, I think the closest we had was typewriters.

[About the surgeon cameras though...]

...even though there wouldn't be any light in there?

[reluctantreceiver]

Well, the cameras have tiny lights on them too--LEDs I think. So they don't make heat, but I could be wrong.

_{[He snaps one more of Envy before lowering his camera.]}

I can show you these in a couple of days.

_{[And figure out where the HELL to keep them.]}
