Simon looks as though he's seen a ghost or something. Effy was about to offer a greeting, but when he looks so pale, maybe 'are you alright?' is a better starter. She barely gets to that, either, because he's already cursing and putting a phone in her hands. The video plays. Her very first response:
"...What the fuck is that?"
On a loop, the video plays again. And again. Effy's eyebrows lift at the subject matter and she hands it back. Pulls out a cigarette. Offers him one, too, because he looks sort of like he needs one.
"Hero dog?" She rolls her eyes a bit. Hasn't the world moved onto the next 'huge internet sensation' by now? "It looks fake."
She knows it's not, of course. The look on his face is very telling, in that regard. But she doubts she's the only one who thinks so.
