It's all right! [ and she gives him a confident smile. How the tables have turned. ] There are a lot of amazing things you can buy, and I'll stay with you.

[lionly]

[Ah, as he thought, that helped her hit her stride, didn't it? Elza swallows down a grin that wants to surge up and instead ducks his head slightly so as to see that confident smile of hers even better.]

You might have to teach me about some of these amazing things, if they're anything like what's in the apartment.

[immobileyes]

I think so... they have televisions, see? [ and she'll point to the screens over in one corner, off to the left. ]

[lionly]

Right, we have one of those back where we live...

[And he still has no idea about them. Like, he gets that they don't show real things or people actually in the box or something, but the more complicated aspects of it... no, he doesn't understand at all.]

[immobileyes]

Right... and, um, over there-- [ the vacuum cleaners. ] You use these to clean, but they're really noisy.

[lionly]

...

[Elza gives them a long look before glancing down to her. He tries not to look as skeptical as he feels.] Those? Really? How do you use them?

[immobileyes]

You push a button and they suck up dirt when you push them around!

[ don't ask how she first reacted to it, okay, it's embarrassing. ]

[lionly]

[That's amazing... all this sorcery. Witchcraft, even.]

How does it do it?

[immobileyes]

I don't really know how, but it's got a really strong pull...

... And you shouldn't let it anywhere near your hair. [ she may be reminiscing. ]

[lionly]

--ah.

[Elza grins and reaches over to said hair with his hand, intending to smooth his palm over it.] Was there an incident?

[immobileyes]

[ And there go those two hair tendrils again, shifting independently. Mary just... grimaces. ]

I don't wanna remember it...

[lionly]

[...They really did move. But no, come back, hair tendrils. All he wants to do is pet you.]

Then let's shop for better things. I don't think having something like that in the apartment would help that much anyway if three of us couldn't use it. Nothing wrong with a broom and mop, right?

[immobileyes]

[ Her hair tendrils are shy, okay. ]

Right-- and I'm really good with a broom! [ MASTER SWEEPER. ]

[lionly]

[But they're hair... Or, they're supposed to be.]

All the more reason never to switch! It's not bad to stick with what you know. [Chuckling, he starts to walk again, looking this-a-way and that-a-way.]

[immobileyes]

But-- um, some of the things are helpful! Like microwaves help you heat up food a lot faster!

[lionly]

Microwaves...? [He blinks.] Faster than the oven at the apartment does?

[BUT IT'S ALREADY SO FAST]

[immobileyes]

Yes! Like, in um... three minutes!

[ TECHNOLOGY... ]

[lionly]

...

We're talking about warming up food, Mary? [HE THINKS THAT SHE'S MADE A MISTAKE. Surely she must have.]

[immobileyes]

Yes! You just hit buttons and it pings when it's done!

[lionly]

I'm not really sure that's...

[...possible?? But Mary wouldn't lie.] So that's it. You just press a button, a few minutes go by, and then you can eat... A~ah. This world is really too strange for me to keep up with.

[immobileyes]

But that's why you have me with you, isn't it?

[ she's not as well-versed as her friends, but she's had some time to learn. ]

[lionly]

It is. You've been an amazing help, my lady. [Teasingly, he takes her hand in his grip and ducks a bow over it.]

Is your world very much like this place?

[immobileyes]

Mm... sort of? I used to live in a forest before I was found.

[lionly]

Forest? Why were you living there?

[Even Elza lives in Weblin, or thereabouts... mind, it doesn't have the technology this place has, but it's still a city.]

[immobileyes]

It was supposed to keep us safe from other people... so Mother said not to go outside.
