"Thanks!" said Vesna, tucking her phone away after taking the selfie and grinning. "So is everything in your house, like, super light?? Or does it get heavy again...?" She only ate reflections in the moment she was reflected in them. The worst inconveniences this had caused to date were some ruined tourist shots in downtown Durem and a few shaving mishaps with Lorenzo, but she couldn't imagine permanently eating a mirror's ability to reflect something. "Where do you find all the heavy stuff? Is it tasty? I don't really notice when I eat, which is fine, I guess, because I'm sort of eating all the time. If I thought, liiike, window reflections tasted gross, my life would kinda suck."
She waited for Laurel to decide and ordered, paying and floating back with popsicles in tow. "Here you go! Wait! It's your first time eating human food, right? Do you wanna take a picture?" She fished out her phone again. "I sort of run a food blog, so I post a lot of pictures of human food even though I don't eat it. Another raevan started it with me as part of a joke while we were hunting down stolen fel essences, but then we were like, why not just run a food blog for real?? He's already older than us, so he can eat all sorts of stuff, though."

"It gets heavy again, eventually!" Laurel replied, nodding. Usually it only took a day or two for something to get heavy again after he ate but, thinking back to that one time he ate from the bookshelf in the hall, there were some things that took a bit longer. He learned to be more discerning about what he ate from after that whole mishap.
"Uhm, I usually don't taste what I eat, unless it's like... Actual food?" He mused, his brows arching and furrowing. "Like, uh, I once ate from a big turkey and I could taste that a little from my fingers? I was sad I couldn't eat some of it with my family."
But now he was actually going to try eating something! This was very exciting! He reached out for his popsicle, more than ready to try it, before pausing. A picture? Why not? He wanted to remember this!
"What's a blog?" He asked, leaning over curiously. Then, his eyes widened. "Whoa, wait! Stolen fel essences? That sounds bad! Did you get them back?"

"I guess that makes sense, too," Vesna said thoughtfully. "I mean, when I eat someone's reflection, it's not like they never get it back again. Still, that's pretty cool, though! You could make something super light and then act like you've got super strength or something! Or, like, if you had to move some heavy furniture, it could be really useful." Having had to redecorate her whole room shortly after she was born, Vesna was familiar with the struggle of moving heavy furniture.
She nodded emphatically as Laurel talked about disappointing food experiences. "I understand!! I totally do! I wanna grow a stomach really soon so I can eat more things- I have a whole bunch of things I wanna try. I took pictures of them all and put them on the blog so I wouldn't forget."
She showed Laurel her blog and said, "See? So if I put your popsicle on here, we'll remember it later! You can make one too, if your dad lets you, and you wanna take pictures of cool stuff and show your friends."
She shrugged. "I mean, it was pretty scary at first, but then I realized I was pretty much born to be a hardboiled detective and Cesc and I found a tooooon of essences and it wasn't dangerous at all!" She remembered briefly that a car had nearly crashed into them and amended, "Well, it was a little dangerous. But my guardian was there, so he could've fixed anything really bad. Probably."Bouquet of Diamonds WOW THIS TOOK A LONG TIME SORRY I FELL OFF THE BALL--

Hmm, pretend he had super strength, huh? Laurel mulled the idea over. It sounded like fun in theory, but with all the things he'd broken so far just by eating too much too fast made it sound less fun and more like an accident waiting to happen. Maybe if he tried to do it slowly with something he knew wouldn't break easily? He'd have to think about it later.
"Oooh, I never thought about taking pictures of food before!" He said, peering curiously at her blog. He still wasn't sure what a blog was, but he did like taking pictures. With a cousin who was working hard to become a professional photographer, it made him wonder if Devin had one of these blogs himself. He pursed his lips in thought.
"A hard-boiled detective?" He repeated, his brow arching. Hardboiled had something to do with eggs and a detective was someone who solved crimes. He couldn't imagine the two things together and, instead, listened to Vesna explain with rapt attention. "Wow! You really found a ton of them? How many is that? A hundred? A thousand? A million?"
He tried to envision what a million fel essences would look like and, thus, a million Raevans to be along with them. Admittedly an overwhelming thought, but also very exciting. So many new friends! He couldn't wait to meet them all!
"Oh, uh, who is Cesc?" He asked, another set of questions quickly following. "And your guardian, too? Where are they?"kotaline IT'S FINE DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT WE ALL FALL OFF SOMETIMES--
