Lightbulbs, on the other hand, are a phenomena Victor understands. Finds a little amusing, really, but electricity is a luxury, and lightbulbs a wonderful invention, and he vaguely remembers enough long days in winter lived by candlelight to appreciate the sentiment. "No, they're not very talkative. You might have more luck speaking with an electrician to understand how they work, though I think it has to do with conducting electric charges through filaments in older bulbs. I'm not sure about LEDs." Or any other lightbulbs for that matter. Even his concept of filaments felt outdated, but who knew? He should look it up on his phone, reaching into his coat to pull out his constant companion. No signal in here. He frowns, putting his phone away. He'll check again once they've made their way back outside.
