[ The sudden appearance of an image of a dog on Ardbert's device is delightful, even if he can't understand how it's possible.

And so Dimitri ends up with a voice call in response. Sorry, Ardbert hasn't figured out the whole voice-to-text thing yet. This is all he knows how to do. ]

[ He's never heard of a photograph. Clearly. ]

Oh, but I don't think your message reached its intended recipient. My name is Ardbert.
