[ A little lopsided smirk makes its reappearance at those words; yeah...animals are so soft. Maybe that is why it's an easy decision to give them pets they would enjoy. Win/win for both sides. ]
No, they don't. In certain ways they are more decisive than people; though, even they can be paralyzed by indecision.
[ It is an outrageous reaction for Blade probably. Imagine if Silver Wolf overheard this, she would just drop her Sw*tch out of sheer shock. Rodya though is just like IT'S SO ON. ]
You take a picture with the button, and it spits out a photo like, almost instantly! I have an example, somewhere --
[ She digs in her pockets and shows Blade a polaroid picture from a week and a half ago. It's Gregor and Rodya in the park when they were love cursed. It's very funny. She, ofc, is the one who took the picture. ]
It takes a moment but it's nice to have a physical copy. Okay, hit your best pose!
[ Taking out the Glittermax, Blade has two minutes to think about it before she comes waddling over. ]
Blade certainly is not someone to have originally entertained an idea such as this before all of these events. But, now here he is, listening as Rodya is talking about the mechanics before showing evidence of a result.
He watches as she shows the polaroid of Gregor and Rodya as well being lovey-dovey cursed in the park. Then, suddenly she's talking about posing and he feels a little frantic. ]
Hit...my best pose? Wait.
...Just a moment.
[ What does he do? Just, he kind of shifts the cat in his grip, unsure what to do with it, but it's still a proper hold. Then, he just stares at Rodya. ]
[ Or don't, she would also be shocked if Blade put out a (normal) smile just for this. Does she think it's hilarious to bully him a little bit. Probably. But she also sincerely thinks this is pretty fun.
She snaps a pic, and then waits impatiently for the polaroid to come out. She'll shake the photo to make it develop faster and then they can look at it together.
...That Blade's face is very much like this icon, because on one hand, he doesn't have his usual bitch resting face happening due to these series of kind of hilarious events. But, on the other, he doesn't quite get the opportunity to even 'try' a normal smile.
So she gets a very nice close-up of a candid, patented Blade-shocked-pikachuesque look on the polaroid for his part while the cat is lounging happily and contently in his arms. It probably happened right as the flash occurred because it actually put a paw on him, surprising him mildly or something. It's fine. ]
[ Rodya meanwhile truly is just peak selfie mode, moisturised, crops watered, peace sign while Blade is bullied by a kitten in the background. Wonderful. ]
[ Help...Blade looks at the image shown to him, and...it is definitely not his best expression caught in anywhere.
Trust a cat to help make him look mildly embarrassing, it's fine. But, his eyes fall upon Rodya who looks like at home in the image. All things considered, he thinks...it's not a bad one.
Though, he'd like to fix his expression. ]
It's...hm. Somewhat adequate.
[ But, the idea of them having one each gets his attention. Blade knows he'll be more prepared this time, too. ]
There is no way you can just avoid saying "cheese" forever.
[ Just like, in general. Cheese is good food Blade. She scoops the kitty and uses a finger to make it show off its beans for the camera, and off goes the flash. She maneuvers the cat and camera in her hand in a way so that she can grab the next photo, letting it drop into her pocket while she waves around the polaroid and hands this one off to him also. ]
[ Blade's response sounds like more of a grunt than anything, though. Maybe he is trying to think if he actually could. It isn't like he usually eats cheese all that often...well, it's not like it matters all that much either.
Anyway, he'll simply take the polaroid and pocket this one swiftly after looking at it. ]
...It'll do. I was more prepared this time around.
[ She just kind of. Looks at him. With an expression that's just -- well, it's like the one in her icon I guess. Almost just a touch of exasperation, but in a fond way. ]
You ever thought about getting a career change into being a poet? I bet the nerds will love you.

And they're soooo soft.
no subject
No, they don't. In certain ways they are more decisive than people; though, even they can be paralyzed by indecision.
[ ... ]
But, not for long if they wish to survive.
no subject
Do you need a lesson in taking a moment and just enjoying stuff too?
no subject
...I am not used to doing this sort of thing. 'Taking a moment and just enjoying stuff', that is.
I'm sure you understand that, however.
no subject
Not that I can force you, but I think it's a habit worth learning.
no subject
There is a long, considering pause on his end, though. Then, finally, a soft huff just escapes him at that. ]
You're correct you can't force me to do anything.
...However, I have wondered what it'd be like. Occasionally.
no subject
Maybe you'll like it.

[ Blade looks at the cat, as he considers this. Then, he mutters: ]
Let's...take a picture, then. With the cat.
no subject
Ooh, I've got one of those Glittermax polaroids from a few weeks ago! We can use that!
no subject
But...the reaction doesn't seem bad. Just reasonably excited; enough he feels himself relax a little. ]
Very well.
...How exactly do those work?

And that's how it works.
[ Rodya meanwhile truly is just peak selfie mode, moisturised, crops watered, peace sign while Blade is bullied by a kitten in the background. Wonderful. ]
It's a pretty good picture, right?
We can go for a second one, have one each.

no subject
[ Because she's gonna ready the camera again, winky. ]
Say cheese!
[ Are You Prepared? He can also hand the cat over if he thinks that'll make him cooler. ]
no subject
Making it an effort to 'make new memories' that weren't simply out of necessity. ]
...You'll never have me saying such a word, Rodya.
[ But Blade will hand the cat over, so that it doesn't bully him again.
Then, his expression kind of just...evens out, yeah, as he places one hand on his hip. Got the badass pose and look down. ]

...It'll do. I was more prepared this time around.
no subject
Great.
A memory for both you and me then.
no subject
Anyway, Blade is looking at her and giving a little nod at that. He likes the sound of it. ]
...A memory, etched in a singular moment, captured forever in an image. Even if time will erode it otherwise.
no subject
You ever thought about getting a career change into being a poet? I bet the nerds will love you.
no subject
Blade offers something of a crooked smirk at that. ]
...Perhaps they would, until I let them know how much of a nuisance I'd find them for bothering to attempt to contact me.
[ Assuming they would. But poets have fans. ]
no subject
[ And therefore how do you know the poet society won't be just as annoying as her, huh?? ]
