... Boy couldn't be Riff, could it? [ that??? makes sense to him?? he'll peer over bass's shoulder at the display, though. ] Seems like something a couple've good friends would do.
That'd mean you two'd be pretty fated to be best friends, huh.
[ this is a little lighter than what he wants to say, really - with... what he knows about riff, especially, but he bites his tongue on that part for now.
he puts a hand on bass's shoulder, and gives it a squeeze. ] Not that uncommon in this place, yeah? Look at me and Percival. Or Estinien and Aymeric.
[ me like i want to talk plot but also my cute purikura pictures with my son this is a struggle
the hand on his shoulder shifts a bit, and pulls him in for a one armed hug, instead - a big squeeze, wordless. it's not like he knows how to work this stupid machine so fret's gonna have to be the one to start it anyway - and, if nothing else, vax is (somewhat ironically) good at being a steady presence. ]
in any case, he takes that hug, and then just exhales big and slaps his face gently. stop being sad. it's fine. this won't come back to bite him in the ass later with the weekly effect.]
listen. vax notices this! he notices this. he is not a fool. but for now, he'll tuck it away in his pocket when they're not crammed into a photobooth. this whole place is all about their memories, lately - might be good to have some new ones. he crowds in a little closer to look at the screen, missing his wings for the point of reassuring physical contact. this'll have to do for now. ]
I didn't even know what a camera was until - however fucking many weeks ago. [ too many ] What're you supposed to do?
[he leans in a little close. all of my characters have one thing in common and it's that they are reassured by physical touch.]
So you just - pose? Do regular camera stuff. [he points up at the camera.] That's gonna take three pictures, and it'll count down. And then we add stickers and effects like stuff that says "wow!" or "hot stuff!" or whatever.
[ vax is the right person to be by if you need that!!! he does not mind at all, though he does look like an old man trying to squint at this screen and the camera. ]
[ delightful. the second one catches him sticking his tongue out and his middle finger up, going along with bass's directions from before.
for the last picture, he just throws an arm around his shoulders and pulls him in again, squishing their faces together, and just grins!!! stupid. very stupid, but also big "look at my son" energy. ]
[he squeaks a bit when vax squishes them together, but he recovers quickly - he throws his arms around vax in return and beams real big at the camera, like a dork.]

That's true. [he leans a little into the hand.] ... I don't like that it made me forget.

[ that's a little encouraging to hear, honestly. after his witnessed conversation with atsushi and vin the other day, it's definitely reassuring. ]
Well, hey. 's flip this place the bird for that first picture. Sometimes makes me feel better.

as it finishes, he reaches over and ruffles bass's hair, messily, and then steps back a little from him. ]
Okay. Does it not just...show up? Like the ones on the things, do?
no subject
Yeah, like - you can add little stickers and things to it? Look, on the screen. And then it'll print after, but first...
[he's looking for wings so he can add them to vax]
