[Well, it's not like Tess is in a position to correct her. She giggles when she catches on to what the girl is doing; all efforts to get her to move her godsdamned camera are forgotten as Tess flops down and makes herself comfortable against the wall.

She nods seriously. Unfortunately, she won't be able to extrapolate pronunciation beyond what Lilly gives her.]

Pay-puh. Crain.

[fuckingwolverine]

Finger. Han. Awm.

[She points to each body part in turn, and then - finally - scrambles up and ends up kicking the camera by accident, sending it spinning across the floor. In the upper lefthand corner of the screen, half of a written message is visible: EYA CRESCENT, EDWARD ELRIC, DAY THIRTY, TRAVELLING NORTH. Lilly appears sporadically, running around the room and pointing at things - "Waw! Flow! Couch!" - but she hasn't yet intuited what the tablet's camera can and can't pick up. She can still see it, so she assumes it can see her.]

[Tess follows along dutifully, but when Lilly kicks the tablet Tess goes silent as she scrambles to take a screenshot. She can't read a word of that, but maybe someone else will recognize it, or be able to match it up with a building on that town guide. Breathing a sigh of relief, she picks back up on the 'conversation.']

Couch?

[She can't see what you're pointing at, kid.]

[fuckingwolverine]

Couch.

[She affirms, coming back into view as she peeks down at the tablet.]

Awwright?

[motherserpent]

[Tess nods, smiles.]

Couch, awwright.

[She points at herself.]

Tess.

[fuckingwolverine]

[She points to herself in turn.]

Lilly. Girl.

[motherserpent]

Lilly-girl.

[She shuffles over to pat the bag that contains a hiding RGBV.]

Roy.

[fuckingwolverine]

Snake.

[That's what it had looked like from the brief glimpse she'd gotten, anyway.]

[motherserpent]

Snake?

[Tess pulls up the edge of the bag. Inside, only feathers can be seen, RGBV coiled up so his head isn't showing.]

Coatl.
