A few small curtains show the reactions of the crowd to Hadarai's expression. They smile and point. Some laugh...but it is not a scornful laughter. It is an open and freely given laughter of someone sharing a moment of wonder.The angry red sparks dancing around the glowing pole diminish in intensity. The level of light remains steady in the high yellow portion.Up on Vaunea's screen, the view moves over Uncle Mikey's shoulder, to look at a book. You hear the halfling say, "Heeeeeey! You look with your hands, not with your ey--no--it's...uh...yeah...It's like you look with your eyes, not with...wait...don't even look at all. It's like totally secret with magic stuff that would completely blow your mind and like expand your horizons, but in a horrible way that involves your like brain exploding."The screens switch from the view of Hadarai to that of the laboratory. People chortle at Uncle Mikey's antics and slurred speech. Like that, the moment shared between Hadarai and the spectators ends.Near you, you hear a little girl ask, "Mommy, why does he have a metal nose?"[/sblock]</blockquote>
