Ah, I see. That makes sense.

[Onni watches Daniel's screen and then repeats the movement on his own screen, biting at his lower lip, pale eyes flicking between the two screens.]

So that is for movies, and this is for voices.

[It doesn't seem like magic to him, just very advanced technology, something like what they had in the Old World. He's heard of movies, recordings of people that moved on the screen and told stories that people watched, similar to plays, and this seems similar to that. Of course magic exists in his world, but making moving pictures isn't exactly what people do with magic. Magic is more natural, attuned to the natural world and working on its laws and principles, with the aid of the gods.

He watches as Daniel explains how to contact a specific person.]


Oh, is that why it asked me to enter my name? What's your name on this thing, is it just "Daniel"?

[Onni copies Daniel's movements and brings up the list of names, scrolling through it and looking for 'Daniel' on the list.]

In case I ever need to talk to you.

[Gebura had already taught him the need to have contacts and allies just in case something goes wrong or 'weird' here. Daniel's explanation only seems to agree with that perspective, and Onni is starting to take it to heart.]

I see. I agree about having information, so I'll make sure to keep an eye on what people put up on this thing, then. Hopefully it's not too much junk.

[Lifting his head, he glances up at Daniel and nods, expression serious and thoughtful.]

Thank you. For teaching me.
