Hee hee. Mehitabel smiles for the camera.

It is a good picture.

And then Anaphiel gives Mehitabel the camera.

And Mehitabel takes pictures of unicorns! She is not especially good at photography but she knows what she likes.

Skalz regards the proceedings with mild bemusement but no protest.

Mehitabel aims the camera at him. "Can I take your picture too?"

Permalink

"What...exactly does that entail?" he asks, looking at the odd device with mild trepidation.

Permalink

"It makes a light and then there's a picture of you, like I've been doing with the unicorns."

Permalink

"I...see. I suppose I have no objection."

He raises an eyebrow and the corner of his mouth quirks up, more out of amusement at her instruction than in order to follow it.

Permalink

"What a peculiar device," he comments.

"They're useful! It's more accurate and faster than drawing."

Permalink

"I imagine that would be useful for works of natural philosophy," he muses, "but when you draw something, you can depict it as you see it, not merely as it literally looks."

Permalink

"That's good for art. Photography is for knowing."

Permalink

"As I said," he nods. "Natural philosophy."

Permalink

"Also it's easier than drawing."

Permalink

"I imagine it would be so for most," he allows, tracing patterns of color in his skin absently.

Permalink

"Well, yeah, I can't do that. Unless I can learn to do it with human magic later."

Permalink

"I wouldn't know."

Permalink

Shrug. "It's really nice of you to answer all my questions like you have been."

Permalink

"We don't see children very often," he murmurs.

Permalink

"There aren't very many. Unless something goes wrong, fairies live forever. If we had children often enough that there were any around very often, the world would be overrun with us and there would be no more space left."

Permalink

"Couldn't you colonize more places?"
