[...oh.

I do. I haven't in a while though...

Why do you ask?

<Nobori>

[offtracks]

We are looking to have some photos taken! But if it is an inconvenience for you, please do not worry about it! There's any number of people who could, I'm sure!

[Ingo certainly has his reasons for approaching a friend and amateur, rather than just paying somebody in town. He doesn't...really like having his picture taken in the first place. But that's no reason to impose!]

<daisy>

[polarvoid]

Oh no...you're not inconveniencing me at all. I just worry I might be a little rusty.

I would be happy to take some pictures for you both.

<Nobori> cw: internalized ableism ig

[offtracks]

Ah, well. In all fairness, I also do not photograph very well.

[DON'T FEEL BAD ABOUT BEING RUSTY! HE'S RUSTY AT SMILING LIKE A REGULAR PERSON!]

When would you be available? There is certainly no rush!

<daisy>

[polarvoid]

I'm free pretty much any time. The only problem we might have is lighting. Since I can't go outside with you guys for it...

<Nobori>

[offtracks]

[...!]

In all honesty, I had forgotten that modern cameras were so portable!

[HE JUST ASSUMED IT'D BE INSIDE]

Are the regular electric lights not considered good enough?

<daisy>

[polarvoid]

Oh no, they'd be fine. I just always used to prefer natural light...I can make it work either way, don't worry. I just wasn't sure if you had a preference.

<Nobori>

[offtracks]

There was only one camera in all of Hisui. All the photos were taken in the studio. The equipment could be moved about, I suppose, but it did not seem easy to do!

Which is all to say, I have no preferences!

[He's not used to getting a lot of options!]

<daisy>

[polarvoid]

Only one camera? Wow...

[That's a little hard for Basil to believe. He's so used to a camera just being something you can take anywhere that the idea that some exist that are mostly stationary is almost foreign to him.]

In that case though, we'll just take the pictures inside. You guys can pick which room you'd like to do it in, just make sure there's enough space that there won't be anything that might get in the way.

<Nobori>

[offtracks]

Very well! I'm sure we can arrange a good space!

<daisy>

[polarvoid]

Thank you. Would you like me to come over today, then?

<Nobori>

[offtracks]

[Hm...well, he hasn't asked Emmet if today is good, but they'd have to wait for nightfall anyway. Plenty of time to clear a spot in the schedule.]

Yes, that would be very kind!

Action, later that same evening

[polarvoid]

[With that decided, Basil will wait for sunset to gather himself up to go, pulling his bag onto one shoulder before hesitating in front of the desk drawer where his camera has been hiding for the better part of a while. He still can't call it "his" camera, not since this one was a gift from Nanami...but after some hesitation, he pulls it out and carefully hangs the strap around his neck. From there, Basil will actually head to the trainhouse by way of flying believe it or not, since he's been trying to practice getting better at it. He can only stay aloft for short periods, and has to keep taking breaks, but it's a far cry from his inability to get off the ground before, period.

Eventually he arrives, landing a bit roughly in front of the door. If someone is near it, they might actually hear him bump into said door before he gets a chance to knock properly.]

[offtracks]

[If they do, they certainly are not going to comment! Ingo is the one who opens the door. Naturally - he's the one who invited Basil over, so he's the one who ought to greet him! He's been lurking near the door and everything!]

Good evening, Basil! Please, come in!

[Of course Basil has probably been here before, but the downstairs area looks rather different without all the large windows covered in blackout curtains!]

[polarvoid]

[Basil is more than familiar with the house at this point, smiling up at Ingo as he's invited in. It's almost like coming to a second home, even if he'd be too embarrassed to actually say that.]

Good evening. Is everybody ready for the pictures?

[offtracks]

I believe we are. Emmet?

[Because obviously this is an Ingo-and-Emmet activity and involves no one else!!!]
