They test to see if he is in fact affected by the strength of the sunlight – while he was outside at dawn, it did in fact feel less strong, but he was partially buried in sand and the pain ramped up over the time he was out, so it wasn't a particularly good indicator. It turns out he is in fact affected differently by different strengths of sunlight; weaker sunlight is confirmed to feel less painful and he loses his senses less quickly this time than when he went outside earlier.

After a short while, they go back inside and he cools off – it's not yet sunset, it's just slightly dimmer, so the sun still has quite strong effects on him. They have food, or rather Matt and Sadde do, though Theo cooks it because he hasn't lost that ability despite becoming a vampire, and it gradually gets towards sunset.

"My butler."

in-the-breeze

"Butler."

"Yeah."

in-the-breeze

"That was me expressing my confusion and surprise by repeating what you said slightly flatly."

"I know."

in-the-breeze

"Well okay then! While your butler-who-shall-not-be-expounded-upon fetches things, shall I go look for the other devices?"

Willow Maxwell

"Do you want me to expound upon him? I was just teasing you."

in-the-breeze

"I was teasing back," he says, raising an eyebrow a bit. "But sure, expound?"

Willow Maxwell

"He is a butler. His name is Manfred. He works for my family."

Sadde snorts.

"Be back in a minute," says Theo, rolling his eyes and walking towards the door.

He might be smirking a bit too.

subtle_influence

"Don't eat anyone!" she calls.

in-the-breeze

"Wasn't planning to," he responds, somewhat convincingly faking still sounding cheerful.

Then he's off to get some stuff.

subtle_influence

"Hey if you can still hear me come back," she says in a normal volume.

in-the-breeze

… He does come back! Walks back through the door looking slightly inquisitive!

subtle_influence

"Was just testing—that's very good hearing by the way. Also I was thinking you don't need to go pick anything up if Willow has a butler she can call up."

in-the-breeze

"– I'm just getting them from upstairs, a digital camera and a CD for my laptop?"

subtle_influence

"Right but, the butler can get a larger variety of things, is what I mean. Although, enh, nevermind."

in-the-breeze

Shrug. "Okay, be back in a sec."

And he goes to fetch the aforementioned items.

subtle_influence

They are still waiting for him when he comes back.

in-the-breeze

"We can probably do the digital camera thing first, right? – I probably have a cable to connect it to the computer somewhere but I'm not sure where, shouldn't matter, not sure what resolution it is but probably better than 720p and do we need video or just a single picture?"

Voilà, camera. (He also has a bunch of CDs on him.)

subtle_influence

"Well, we should decide on a testing protocol first."

in-the-breeze

"Uh, this might not be specific enough but try setting the quality of the camera and some phone to a standard resolution, compare the sway between images taken by each?" He thinks a moment. "I mean, it'll differ anyway because there's how well it captures the image even at the same resolution, and the camera should do better there, I think, so it should probably be slightly more sway?"

subtle_influence

"Sway doesn't look like it's very easy to detect variations on the order of 'slightly more.'"
