Lost in the marketplace

[The feed turns on and Joshua has mounted it atop a wagon, unaware it's turned on. He's heard about little people visiting that haven't been seen before from the sellers, but here he is holding a piece of fruit that he's never seen before. For a few moments, he simply watches the people and shakes his head after purchasing the fruit, looking down at it.]

This is a market place unlike any that I have ever seen back home.

I believe that would be natural, if they’re not something common where you come from. There are even many in my own world that are not particularly good at using them either.

[ And others, like Futaba, who were amazingly adept with technology. He believed he sat on a comfortable middle ground. They were useful tools for communication and the cameras on them were pleasant to make use of.

The idea of eating before they began was a nice idea, but Yusuke thought it best to prioritize showing Joshua how the phone worked rather than allow himself to be distracted. ]

Let us sit over here then, and I can begin showing you the basics.

[ He agreed, moving towards the wooden benches to have a seat. Setting down his satchel, he smiled. ]

Now I believe the first step should be showing you which setting triggered the video, as it can be rather easy to do without realizing it.

[Well that was almost a relief to hear that other people weren't good at wielding these devices. However, Joshua was determined to have this be a one time deal to get help. He was an excellent scholar and so this bit of research would be his last. He would even take notes if it came to it.

Nodding to the offer to sit, Joshua walked over and sat a small polite distance away, eager to get to the lessons provided. Nodding at the offer of the starting point, Joshua smiled in return.]

Yes, that will work.

Wonderful, then let us begin.

[ He draws out his own tell-phone to demonstrate. He holds it at an angle for Joshua to view it. ]

Now you likely pressed this button here, which is fairly easy to do depending on how you hold the phone. This button here would be for audio, which works similarly.

[Joshua knelt so that he could be somewhat eye level with the other device. And like a good student, he pressed the buttons as Yusuke went over them, determined to get this right and not have to ask for help again.]

I will have to be more careful as to how I hold the phone then.

[ A good observation, Yusuke expected that this was the cause for many of the accidental broadcasts he’d witnessed since arriving. ]

Indeed, it would be easy to select the video or audio channels in error if you happen to be holding the phone with pressure placed on the buttons instead of the case itself.

[He nodded.]

Then I shall do so right away. If the functions of the device are simple, and with your expert tutelage, it won't take me long to learn them.

[ Expert tutelage? Oh my, who would have thought someone would describe his ability with phones as expert? Futaba would probably find that very amusing, really. ]

I am happy to help, and I expect you’ll be a fast learner given you have grasped what I’ve shown you already rather quickly. I admit, a friend of mine would be more the expert though. She’s incredibly talented with technology.

[That had Joshua smile to hear that there was someone who knew more or was more of an expert.]

I take it that friend is not here? Or are they?
