Ah, Leonie. Off to train?

Leonie

Already done. What about you? Off to draw?

Ignatz

No, I'm on my way back. I was thinking of adding a little color to my latest piece, so...

Leonie

Come to think of it, I've still never seen your work. Here, let me take a peek.

Ignatz

It doesn't work like that! You have to let me know in advance. I need time to prepare.

Leonie

Oh, lighten up.

Wow, look at all that paper! Are these all drawings? What should I look at first?

Wherever we travel, I try to capture the feeling and character of the landscape. I guess they've all kind of piled up.

Ignatz

Each place is unique, not just the geography, but also the clothing and architecture and so on. Everywhere has its own design sensibilities.

Leonie

Yeah. You'd think there'd be only one way to do stuff like engraving, but it actually varies a lot.

Just within the Alliance, the styles are quite different between the north and south. And the Empire's even more diverse.

Oh, here's a landscape. What a bright blue sky! You really make it seem alive.

Ignatz

The blue of the sky changes with the season too. In the summer, it's darker. And yet in the winter, it's almost luminous.

And, of course, the landscape below affects the sky's appearance, by virtue of contrast.

It's hard to get the color just right, so I spend a lot of time experimenting with pigments, and—

Ignatz

Oh no! I'm so sorry. I've been talking your ear off.

Leonie
volume_up

Listen, Ignatz. You need to become a painter.

Ignatz

Huh?
link
Leonie
volume_up

Don't say it's not useful. Your talent moves people.
link
Leonie
volume_up

Someday, I'm sure your art will save someone's life.
link
Ignatz
volume_up

Oh, no, I wouldn't go nearly that far.
link
Leonie
volume_up

Remember that girl you told me about? You made her so happy. And you were only just starting out.
link
Leonie
volume_up

Think about what you could do now that you've had so much practice! This is your calling.
link
Ignatz
volume_up

You think so?
link
Leonie
volume_up

Yeah! It's something you can do that no one else can.
link
Leonie
volume_up

I envy you. I wish I had a gift like that.
link
Leonie
volume_up

So stop apologizing for your talent and just do it!

Ignatz

Thank you, Leonie. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a lot to think about.
