@DiabolicalrhapsodyPlacing his own tablet down, the boy carefully received the other with both hands, nodding again as he grasped it. It seemed thankfully quite similar to his own, a very close model if not the same, perhaps. He didn't have the time or the authority to check over the entire system at the moment; it was still a personal device, after all.
After several seconds of fiddling with the settings, testing a few different sounds and making adjustments, he finally stopped upon finding one that seemed reasonable to him. After typing in a message, but not letting the application read it out, he handed it back with another nod.
Try this. How is it?
