Where are you going, Ingrid?

Oh! Uh, hi! I see you spotted me—um, saw me. I don't want to disturb you.
link
Ignatz
volume_up

Don't worry. I just finished my painting of Saint Seiros.

Ingrid
volume_up

Oh, that's wonderful. May I see?
link
Ignatz
volume_up

Of course! Take a look.

Ingrid

Whoa. She looks so different from the other painting. Much more divine and gentle.
link
Ignatz
volume_up

She looks so real, doesn't she? So alive. Perhaps it's boastful for me to say that.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

Not at all! She really does! She has a glowing vibrancy to her. Looking at this painting, I feel so inspired.
link
Ignatz
volume_up

I was going to paint her as loving and benevolent.
link
Ignatz
volume_up

But then I remembered your idea, and I decided to depict her fighting for her people.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

Really? Actually, now that I look closer, I see her sword is rather large. And she seems to be in a battle stance!
link
Ignatz
volume_up

That's right. Although, of course, I had to discard some of your more absurd suggestions.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

I'm sorry about that.
link
Ignatz
volume_up

No, wait! That's not what I meant!
link
Ignatz
volume_up

I see that if I open myself up to suggestions from other people, new things become possible.
link
Ignatz
volume_up

And I have you to thank for that realization.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

If that's true, I'm very glad I could help.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

You made a good point. We can't be blinded by our own thought patterns and ideas. It's important to be open to others', as well.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

By doing so, we discover new paths for ourselves, and we can even become better in ways we may never have imagined.
link
Ignatz
volume_up

Exactly!
link
Ingrid
volume_up

Thank you, Ignatz. You've reminded me of a very valuable lesson.
link
Ingrid
volume_up

I'm going to strive to be more attentive and listen to other people's ideas.
link
Ignatz
volume_up

Me too. And I've just had a new idea for a painting!
link
Ingrid
volume_up

I can't wait to see it. I bet it'll be a masterpiece!
