Hey, Raphael. Reading a letter?

Raphael

Well, if it isn't ol' Ignatz! I got a message here from my sis.
link
Ignatz

Oh, a letter from Maya! I haven't seen her in so long. I bet she's all grown up.

Raphael

Nah, she's still a shrimp. It's been a while since I saw her, but she's probably only up to your shoulders.
link
Ignatz
volume_up

Wow, I can't believe she's gotten that tall!
link
Raphael
volume_up

I wrote to tell her about how we're friends again. Do you remember this?
link
Ignatz
volume_up

Is that the picture I drew for her?
link
Raphael
volume_up

She sent it along with the letter. I guess she held onto it since we were kids!
link
Raphael
volume_up

All right. That's enough looking. She said to show it to you and send it right back.
link
Ignatz
volume_up

To think, she's handling my little doodle with such reverence! That warms my heart.
link
Ignatz
volume_up

I remember the day I gave Maya that drawing. She looked so happy.
link
Ignatz
volume_up

Before then, I never knew I could make people happy with art. It was a revelation.
link
Ignatz
volume_up

I've been drawing and painting ever since, in hopes of becoming an artist one day.
link
Raphael
volume_up

You're much better now, so it must be paying off! I bet you could be a real artist!
link
Ignatz
volume_up

No, that's not possible, I'm afraid. I have to consider my parents' wishes.
link
Raphael
volume_up

Who cares what your parents want? It's not like you're a noble or nothing. Your fate is your own!
link
Ignatz
volume_up

Huh, you think so?
link
Raphael
volume_up

I know so. And I'm gonna support you with whatever dream you got.
link
Raphael
volume_up

OK. Lemme see... What's the first step to follow your dreams...oh! Got it! You should paint me!
link
Ignatz
volume_up

Uh, paint you?
link
Raphael
volume_up

Yeah! I want my little sis to know how good I'm doing here, so I gotta send her proof.
link
Raphael
volume_up

Plus, she'll be doubly impressed if it's a painting you made!
link
Ignatz
volume_up

Hah, good point! I can certainly try to capture your likeness.
link
Ignatz
volume_up

I'll paint you with a warm, cheerful expression on your face, to bring Maya comfort.
link
Raphael
volume_up

My face? No way. You gotta get my muscles in there! Mostly my chest and arms.
link
Ignatz
volume_up

Are you sure that's what she'd want to see?
link
Raphael
volume_up

Wait! Before you start painting, I gotta get me a little more training in!
link
Raphael
volume_up

If my muscles aren't bulging, then what's the point?
link
Ignatz
volume_up

I'm not sure about this...
