"Hopefully this isn't the last one I have. I just replaced bulbs yesterday." he explained, fiddling with his camera idly. "I think I picked this one up in China before I rode a rickshaw along the great Great Wall. I couldn't remember what my camera took and just bought any. Usually I keep a spare on me, but..."

Taking note of the now developed photo that had fluttered to the ground from the camera, he picked it up for closer inspection. Then he laughed. He pointed at the picture, and laughed louder. How loud? Enough for the museum staff to shush him, but nothing more. Zipping his mouth shut, (literally, mind you) his giggles could still be heard as he passed the photo to Lara. It wasn't very likely that she would find it quite as funny as he had, but she none the less deserved to see the photo.

Genie's pose was difficult to describe: he was greatly stretched out, clearly in the process of movement which made him look rather comedic. His jaw was extended far to his left while the rest of his face was to the right. His tongue was spotted sticking out of his mouth as though he had been trying to lick the air. Clearly he was in the middle of saying something too when the photo was taken.

Sneaking an extra peek at the picture from over Lara's shoulder, he unzipped his mouth. "Is it just me, or does this picture make my butt look big?"

Lara, too, couldn't help laughing, although she kept her own amusement comparatively quiet. Her lips were pursed in the photo, and an eyebrow was raised. The effect was, Lara thought, rather silly. She handed the photo back to Genie, still smiling. "At least you can't say the picture is boring."

Her brows knitted together at the question, and she looked at the picture again, seeming to give his question serious thought. "No," Lara replied, "I certainly don't think so." Not that she hadn't noticed that Genie was odd to begin with, but she had never received that question before, not even from her female friends.
