am i doing this right

yes, you are! :) congratulations, welcome to the world of texting.

the letters thing is weird what did you call it something about keys

[He obviously hasn't found the period.]

keyboard? the punctuation's near the bottom.

yeah it's weird

[At least autocorrect is getting the apostrophes in.]

so is your face. ;)

what is that thing at the end

[Before he can answer, there's another message. Vax has figured out the camera, and the first picture he took was of his dick. Because of course it was.]

it's a smiley face that's winking. the ; are the eyes, with the comma being a wink, and the ) is the smile part of it.

that was a surprise to open. be glad I'm home now. but very nice

let's be honest i wouldn't really care if someone saw it over your shoulder. the more the merrier.

[He's found the period!]

they do seem more open here. not sure if they would even say anything.

was the dick pic the point of the conversation? i mean, it's a nice point, but just making sure.

more like figuring out how this works but also yes

ah i see. i think you're getting the hang of it.

while you're practicing on typing, tell me something about yourself.

like what

what's your favorite color? did you ever have a pet? do you like long walks on the beach? etc etc

black no and i don't get to go to the beach very often unless someone's trying to kill me

[Another dick pic. He's experimenting with angles.]

vex has a pet though. trinket. i told you about him. i help take care of him a bit.

it's too bad he didn't come along.

and you got it bit blurry there. it's a hot blur though.

she loves trinket junior though. thanks for helping me with it

[Another attempt, somewhat better. This one is more zoomed out to show more of his body, breeches pulled down to his knees and shirt pulled up to his chest.]

is that what you've named it

[And in a second he takes a screencap and sends it to show him what it looks like to him.]

what

[He's oblivious to the social intricacies of the format, but after a minute, he gets it.]

oh god

[He hasn't found the capslock either.]

if i use that in bed will you kill me

YES

[There it is.]

alright i'm sorry. no more. would a reciprocal picture soothe you?

NO

now, now. i apologized. but if you don't want a picture of my cock, then maybe i'll send it to somebody else.

go ahead because i'm out of the mood now

you were going to get some really good ones too

LOL very well. what have you been up to then?

[Vax is disgusted with you. He's not texting back.]

Eames, darling. Vax has told me you work at a tailor. Would you mind telling me which one? I have something delicate I need a small adjustment to and I wouldn't trust it to anyone else.

does this involve sexy lingerie? i would be more than happy to help you with that.

Well, I'll remember that for the future, but I was talking about the small stuffed animal Vax made for me.

no fun.

in any case, i'd be happy to help. i work at agathe's shop. i'm on my break if you want to stop by now :)

I'll head over then.

Going back to a previous comment, I didn't know they actually had lingerie here.

i don't think they do actually, but i am planning to open my own shop. so lingerie could happen.

i'll wait for you up front!

Hey.

[That's it. He sounds...reserved, maybe not quite himself. Eames certainly hasn't seen him around in nearly a month.]
