All right, time to sneak off and do some painting...

Professor! S-such lovely weather today, huh?
link
Ignatz
volume_up

I was, ah, just about to go for a walk.
link
Why are you bringing paper?
link
Ignatz
volume_up

What, this? No, it's uh... Oh, I'm sorry, Professor. I'll admit it. I was going to do some painting.
link
Ignatz
volume_up

You remember the place where we talked before? I've been painting the scenery there.
link
Ignatz
volume_up

I'm still keeping up with my academics and training, of course!
link
Ignatz
volume_up

I just paint in my spare time as a change of pace.
link
Ignatz
volume_up

Oh. You're not? Ah, well, yes, I suppose you're not.
link
Ignatz
volume_up

Oh. I don't? Ah, well, yes. Maybe you're right.
link
Ignatz
volume_up

I may have gotten ahead of myself. I'm sorry for panicking there.
link
Ignatz
volume_up

Honestly...I'm just worried that my father will find out that I've been painting.
link
I'm not going to tell him.
link
Ignatz
volume_up

Of course. Why would you go out of your way to tell him that?
link
Ignatz
volume_up

Completely illogical of me. But it seems I've developed a bit of a complex about it.
link
Ignatz
volume_up

My father's not a fan of my artistic pastime, you see.
link
Ignatz
volume_up

We're a merchant family, and my older brother is set to inherit the business.
link
Ignatz
volume_up

As for me, my father decided I should be a knight. That's why I'm at the academy.
link
Ignatz
volume_up

Painting won't help me become a knight. It's a waste of time...
link
Is that why you feel guilty about it?
link
Ignatz
volume_up

Well, yes. I feel like I'm betraying my parents.
link
Ignatz
volume_up

I hear that business has been slow for them over the past few years.
link
Ignatz
volume_up

If I become a knight for an influential noble house, I could use my connections to help support them.
link
Ignatz
volume_up

My father was determined to send me here. He must have been, considering the enormous amount of money he spent.
link
Ignatz
volume_up

I don't think I'm well suited to being a knight. My parents sent me to the academy for their sake, not my own.
link
Ignatz
volume_up

When I think about how hard my family is working just to stay in business, how can I sit idly by?
link
Ignatz
volume_up

All of which is just to say that painting will have to remain my little hobby, nothing more.
link
Ignatz
volume_up

Not that I could make a career out of it, even if I wanted to. That's just a fantasy.
