[ César's mostly verbalizing that he's going to hand it over, to be honest. So when she has her hands out, he waits two seconds to pass it over, having had it already in his hand. The rest of his stuff is carried in a Tommy Bahama tote, which he places down next to her chair loud enough so she can hear it (look, totes like that have a very distinct sound). Then, he sits down in the chair on the other side of the tote.]
I've got the first page of the story loaded.
[ It's one of Watson's: The Hound of the Baskervilles. ]
[for a moment, she's quiet, adjusting to the weight of the device, and then she draws her fingertips over the cells, reading. there's a dawning, a brightness over her, as it all comes together. quietly, she reads aloud, so he knows it worked.]
Mr. Sherlock Holmes, who was usually very late in the mornings, save upon those not infrequent occasions when he was up all night, was seated at the breakfast table...

Without exaggeration, this is one of the most wonderful things I've ever held in my life. The future is full of such wonderful things - the potential this holds, it's astounding. I never could have imagined something like this.
oh my god finally getting into a tag brain again sorry this is crusty!
In my world, we even have the ability to use our phones to read printed words in the wild. Or connect to a sighted person in the instances where it makes things easier.
Oh, that's incredible. Being told things like that makes me all the more excited for whatever the future will bring to the people I used to know - they've got no idea how fantastic it will be!
[even to her friends who don't need the same things she does - imagine what a portable telephone would do for anyone's life, actually.]
Isn't it amazing? I'm excited that I got this from Sundries. The future is amazing.
The tablet this is connected to also can read text and translate it into braille on the tablet. That's why I delayed it a bit... I wanted to get that program up and running myself with a high degree of accuracy. 99.93%!
[ César laughs at himself, clearly amused by himself being... himself. ]
