If they had discovered the means to return us whence we came, I would not be here to have this conversation with you.
[How bittersweet... But turning to a happier subject, here’s another photo: an oversized ball of brown fur stretches out on a sofa, tongue lolling and tail evidently mid wag, judging by the blur of it.]
Her name is Caligula, and she very much enjoys a little hat.
[And he does have some pictures of his pretty bird in a few little hats, and one where she is mysteriously wearing a worm on a string as a teeny bird scarf. Fashion.]

A most touching display of our friendship. I may just follow suit.
LOL! Alcohol does on occasion touch us with new and surprising gifts, just as it robs us of skills well-practiced.

The next time I am too drunk to see straight, I will create such videos the likes of which no one on any world has ever seen. Why not.
[big video idea: film a turtle]

Why not indeed! I look forward to being stunned and awed by your upcoming efforts in the medium of intoxicated video.

[Nikolai being a precious little dweeb... that's the stuff.]
For my next feature, I will send it to you much sooner! And endeavor to hold the phone more steadily.

I think that the shaking lends a certain dramatic, suspenseful quality to the video. One feels as if he's really there!
no subject
I think my excitement about the camera spoils all of my videos and my pictures, but yours is more flattering.
no subject
Perhaps I should exercise this talent of mine more often. Photos like this are much more entertaining, and much more truthful, than stuffy portraits.
I wonder if we'll be able to take our phones with us when we leave this place.
no subject
I doubt we will take anything from here, which is a concern for my lovely bird, but if I never sat for a portrait again it would be too soon! Alas!
Next time you might even take pictures during daylight.
no subject
Surely our gem allies would not begrudge you a bird, or me a dog. I fully intend to take Ponchik with me. To forbid it would be barbaric!
Now there's an idea! The lighting will undoubtedly be more flattering. The flash feature turns us all into specters.

[Hmm... depressing. Also:]
I would like to see pictures of your dog now, thank you.

Or to send you this adorable picture of Ponchik.

[Anyway, DOG... look at him! Oh wow!]
He's very [big ball of fur] robust, isn't he? Have you adorned him in bows and little hats yet?
no subject
And he’s only going to get bigger. Do you think he would look very intimidating in a hat? He’s meant to be a guard dog.
no subject
[A guard dog... more like a cute baby.]
Perhaps a hat that says 'BEWARE' on it, or some such.

Something tells me that you have, in fact, festooned your bird with all manner of finery. Do you have any pictures?
