Camera Shy... not really [Ceano]

Tavish raised an eyebrow. "New to these stuff?" he echoed softly. "I just moved here as well. And I'm just starting classes in the Academy."

He had a feeling that the guy in the bonnet--who still hasn't stated his name-- would also be a student there. Tavish began to lead their way back. "You haven't told me your name yet," Tavish said casually. "I've only heard about a Versil from you... unless it's a weird second personality you have that likes to name its counterpart, then I'll probably start calling you Versil."

Upon the blonde's explanation of his actions, Tavish felt a frown take his face. It was unimaginable to know someone whose name has never been asked of before. Almost everyone would be asked of their name at some point in their lives so Tavish didn't believe the guy--Giro, as he introduced himself.

"Nice to finally meet you, too," Tavish echoed, voice almost flat. He glanced at the other with a growing smirk. "Just so you know, I don't believe you because it's impossible that nobody's ever asked you of your name before. So basically... I don't forgive you."

Tavish had to admit though, the name was a nice name. It wasn't weird like his or too common. He had a lot of people question his given name and his last name. 'What kind of name is Tavish?' or 'Jane, as in the girl, Jane?' With whichever name he introduced himself as, he was subject to a joke, an insult or, if he's lucky, just plain curiosity.

Still, he introduced himself as Tavish for the reason that he liked its uniqueness. Ultimately, it is everyone's reactions upon hearing it that he didn't like.

So maybe that explained why Giro hadn't reacted to that little half-tease, half-joke. Giro was from a different world? Whether he meant it metaphorically or literally, Tavish couldn't be sure. This guy was eccentric enough as he is but that didn't guarantee sanity. 'God knows how many nuts probably live in this island,' he thought.

"Sure," Tavish said. He pulled the camera strap over his head and handed it to Giro. "You like photography?"

"Well, then you like photography," Tavish replied. "Photography isn't just for camera users, after all."

Tavish watched Giro examine his camera. He came to wonder about where Giro might have come from when the other told him that he hasn't held a camera until now. Tavish thought the other might have been raised in another world where no cameras exist, or maybe he had been raised with extremely poor circumstances that he hasn't had the privilege of being able to touch a camera or use one.

When Tavish got the camera back, he stopped in his tracks and took off the lens cap. He pocketed it with one hand while with the other, he turned the camera on. Afterwards, he handed it back to Giro. "Go on, give it a try," he offered. He motioned to the city in the distance behind them. This place didn't have the perfect view point but the city was still beautiful from here. There was also the school before them, though it was covered with scattered foliage from here and was too far away to get a good shot. Even then, it could still be used as a subject. Any person with a good eye for photography could make something out of the scene even if it would make the shot seem a little unorthodox.

"Thanks, I guess," Tavish said with a shrug. "You've got a nice name yourself. It's, uh, unique." He wasn't used to being told that someone liked his name. A lot of people think it's weird and out-of-this-world. He just thought it made him unique and... himself.

A name's a name. There's no standard for what's weird and what's good. There are just some that are more commonly used than others.

Tavish watched Giro get a feel of the camera. He seemed quite enchanted with it that Tavish felt like he was looking at a child finding marvel in a new world. He stopped himself from smiling at the scene though. He simply watched.

Until the blond with the wild hair stepped back to take a picture of him. It was then when Tavish let his lips curl up to a small smile. He was rarely a subject of his camera. Besides the fact that there was only him to use it, he was always more interested in actual photography and not the vanity the called Selfie nowadays.

Tavish looked at the screen when Giro showed him. "So you're saying I look fake now?" he said. It was delivered flatly, but Tavish only meant to tease. He was just not comfortable with actually inflecting a teasing tone when he was talking to strangers as well. "But... um, thanks, I guess?"
