retrospec | (no subject)

I know we've all been a bit distracted lately, not only from the abrupt loss of two colors from the spectrum, but all the usual school madness that occurs in June. Grades are coming in, summer sessions are about to begin, and that's an understandably stressful time.

[To say nothing of sleep loss. Rosalind certainly looks exhausted as she glowers into the camera. Behind her, chalkboards are filled with equations, and someone with a particularly clever mind might be able to spot a trend towards space and time.]

However. Let me give a few of you a piece of advice. I know several of you are in university right now, or about to graduate high school and enter into it. If you ever send a professor who failed you something like what I'm about to attach, you will not change their minds. Point in fact, they'll be even more determined to fail you. I know I certainly am, and I'm not even the one dealing with this right now.

Honestly, I preferred the bribes to this.

Of course I do! I got a whiteboard with my schedule written on it in my room! For a second I thought you gave me classes though, so... I guess I got confused.

Unless you have a redhead teacher, Prompto, I really don't--

[This is pointless, and Rosalind waves a hand, dismissing her sentence.]

Tell me instead: why photography?

[it's best not to dwell on his observational skills. if he could be allowed to take pictures of his teachers during class, then maybe...]

Ah! Well, you know, I like capturing moments! There's so many different things that can be done with photography. I wanna be able to capture real moments even if the image is still; like, the real sides of people. A rare smile, an exciting moment, the energy in dancing or when cheering for sports. It's a way to capture memories in the end, right? For me, that's important.

[his answer is incredibly subjective, but equally genuine and honest]

[Photography isn't her subject of choice, and truth be told, Rosalind knows very little about it. But there's real earnestness in his tone, and that she finds herself approving of.]

And have you gotten to capture those moments yet, or are you still improving?

Both! I'm working real hard to improve what I already know. It's not an exact science, you know? So there's tons of creative freedom. I rely heavily on that.

I could show you some of my work sometime!

. . . all right.

[It's a slow agreement, but not reluctant. Why not see his work? At the very least, it'd be assuring to know he's competent in one area.]

Bring them by the university next time you come by.

... are you seriously not getting days off from university? It's summer!

Classes don't start for another week, no, but I prefer to spend my time in the lab.

You teachers work real hard.

Mad respect.

Oh. Um.

[She blinks. That's . . . nice? Is he honestly being genuine? Apparently so, and for a moment Rosalind smiles.]

Thank you.

M'pleasure! I'll drop in some time with some photos, and I'll make sure it's on a day you're not very busy!
