Hello!

[look at this eager smile. never mind that the camera might be at an awkward angle and not completely focused correctly, technology is hard and she's trying. you can (almost completely) see her smile and wave. at least her voice comes through clearly.]

I have been thinking lately about the nature of this place, how very often people are taken from their loved ones. I wish there was something I could do to remedy that, of course, but given the fact that we're still unable to influence that... I've been considering things I can do to help.

I have some skill with artwork, and I was wondering if anyone would appreciate portraits of their friends or family that aren't currently in the fleet, or even loved ones that have left this place. [a momentary pause.] It may be a bit difficult with only a verbal description of their appearance, but I certainly wouldn't mind if you observe while I complete a sketch and let me know anything that needs correcting or adjusting as I work. I think that should be enough to create a strong likeness. As for materials... I haven't managed to find any paint here, but I do have paper and pencil.

Before anyone speaks of compensation, there is little to do here, and having something to pass the time would be payment enough.

There's an art studio on the Iskaulit where you can probably borrow some paint.

[...]

Does it actually help, though? Having a portrait of someone?

I see! Thank you for letting me know. I will have to seek it out shortly.

It most likely varies between each person. I imagine some would benefit from it, however.

No problem.

[It isn't like Shinji is going to forget the person he's thinking of. Not in a million years. But...]

If there are other people interested in portraits, they can go ahead of me, it's fine. But I'd like to try this portrait thing when you have the time for it, if you ever do. It's fine if you don't. I don't know if it will help me or not.

I didn't know you could draw and paint.

I'm better with embroidery, I'm afraid. Still, would you like to see? My governess always told me I had acceptable skill with it.

I'm certain you're better than me at both. [His artfulness only extends to metal.] I wouldn't mind seeing your work.

If you wanted to learn how, I would be glad to show you.

I see. I'll find an example.

I suppose it could be useful to learn. [For sketching out things, at least. He'll never be artistic with it.]

Once again you prove the greatness of your heart lady! Is there any help you are needing?

Thank you for saying so. I don't believe I've need of any assistance... Is there something particular you bore in mind?

Nothing that came to mind, but I thought at the least you might need someone to fetch and carry, if it come to that! Or perhaps some company while you work.

[Tyrion stroked his beard thoughtfully, before he sent a reply.]

Could you make me a portrait on something sturdy? Something I could throw, say, knives at?

[It's not that he misses his family - he just wants something productive to aim his anger at once and awhile. Using their faces for target practice seems viable.]

I should be able to find something like that.

[that earns a curious look, though.]

That's not precisely the purpose I had in mind, though I suppose it is a worthy one depending on the reasoning behind your distaste for whoever it is.

... I really hate them.

[Honestly, isn't that reason enough? He gives her a sunny smile.]

I had gathered as much. May I ask who it is?

My sister and brother. [He would put in his father - but well - he had already taken care of that particular issue.]

I imagine you could buy some paint planet-side if you wanted some of you own.

Don't know how much longer we're due to stay here, but there's still plenty of time to bring some supplies on board.

Have you been able to locate some? I've looked around this planet, but I haven't found any.

Haven't been looking for paint, so I can't say, but I could certainly ask around.

Got to be some people who have that hobby somewhere. What kind of paint do you typically use?
