That would be lovely! I can put it on one of the shelves we purchased.
[ she looks at the picture for a few moments before letting him take his phone back. it's probably the best picture she has ever taken now that she knows this cool new trick. but hm, it reminds her of something she's been meaning to ask about. ]
I apologize if this is a strange question, but... would it be all right if I asked you about the mask that you wear?
They are part of our faith. Some mustari only wear theirs for ceremonies, but many wear them all of the time, as a show of devotion. We craft and engrave them with great care.
I was without mine when I died, so it seems it did not make it here with me. [ a little sad about that. ]
Unfortunately, I think it would be quite difficult to craft one... Even if I could acquire the tools, I am no blacksmith. I only did the engravings for mine...
But it's all right. I am thankful for your concern.
But ah, no... I was lucky enough to be given it one day by a kind merchant. He really saved me that day. I've never seen him again since, but I wish I could show my gratitude.

Hold it up, and then tap the button once our faces are clear in the little box.

[ she has been taking blind selfies with the screen pointed away. she did not know about selfie mode. ]
Okay, here we go...!

Charlie showed me! You hit the little button in the corner... and it makes it a lot easier, like a mirror!
The angels showed me how to use a "printer" too... so I can drop off a copy at your room later.
[ just handwave that he does this... ]

Oh! Uh... You can!
Though... I don't know if I have an interesting answer.

[ he shakes his head ]
I was caught in a fire when I was younger, and it left me with a scar... So I wear a mask so I don't scare people.

[ apologetic... ]
Where I come from, everyone wears masks, and you're the only person I've seen here with one, even if it is different from ours.

[ reassuringly, he places a hand on her shoulder ]
Thank you for being polite about it. I don't mind explaining... but what do you all wear your masks for then?

[ looks thoughtful... ]
Would... you want to try making another one? Or are the materials too hard to source, even with the kiosk?
no subject
But it's all right. I am thankful for your concern.

[ with a smile ]
It doesn't have to be the same as your old one. It could be a new mask just for heaven... but only if you wanted to.
no subject
... It really is all right. I've gotten used to going without it.
Yours does look rather elegant, though. Did you make it yourself?
no subject
I do like seeing your face.
But ah, no... I was lucky enough to be given it one day by a kind merchant. He really saved me that day. I've never seen him again since, but I wish I could show my gratitude.
no subject
What fortune. Perhaps it was some kind of fate?
no subject
... maybe. I think it helped. I was a really lonely kid. I'm still grateful to this day.
