"Now look off over my shoulder. Look pensive."

Cosima had a large camera up to her face and was directing her friend Ascella Gamp in a casual photoshoot in Florian Fortescue's on a Thursday afternoon. Cosima and Ascella were fifteen years old and off on their own. The camera was brand new, just bought, and Cosima couldn't have waited to try it on her glamorous friend.

Click! Fwoosh!

The camera flashed and Cosima waited a few seconds before opening a little door to fetch the photo. It faded into life. It had caught Ascella's long-lashed blink. There was a glare from the windows behind her though, and it kind of messed up the picture.

"Oh, bad lighting. Even with the flash. Bollocks," Cosima said, her red eyebrows cross. "Here."

She gave the photo over and took another bite of her sundae.
