"So you're saying I could contact Aelius with this? I can see him?"
"Yes." Javier smiled, sitting beside Athine and showing her how it worked. "You can press here to call him for a video call, which lets you see him and hear his voice, or this voice call button for voice only. It's like talking on a mana talkie, but better."
"Really?" Athine gave him a sideways glance with a beautiful, knowing smile.
Javier narrowed his eyes. "That smile won't work on me, Athine, and you know that."
"What?" Athine let out a soft, graceful laugh, shaking her head gently. "I'm just smiling. Or do you want me to be serious like Father?"
"Ewww! No way." Javier gave a dismissive wave and leaned in again. "Now press here to set up your profile picture."
"You mean this thing can take a picture?" Athine asked gently.
