Subaki, could I speak with you for a moment?
Hm? Hello, Kagero. I have some time. What's wrong?
Nothing is wrong, it's just... I was wondering how much you know about art.
Art? Hmmm... I have decent understanding of it, at any rate. While I was in training to become a soldier, people often praised the maps I produced.
I...see. In any case, I would like to ask a favor of you. I need help developing my artistic sense.
I was hoping you could teach me about art.
I'm not quite understanding. Do you need me to teach you how to draw?
That would be part of it, I suppose, but I was thinking of starting more basic.
The best place to start would be regarding what constitutes appropriate taste.
You mean...you want to learn what is considered good or bad art? Seems like a roundabout way to learn, but I suppose it could work.
Why do you keep looking around? You appear fairly suspicious doing that.
I would prefer that my request remain absolutely secret.
I don't think what you want is particularly unusual or something to be ashamed of. Most artists look to others' work for inspiration.
It's not that my art is lacking in inspiration so much as it's, well...
Go on.
This would be quicker if I showed you some of my work. I'll bring some later, and you'll see what I am trying to say.
Until then, please don't make it known that I asked for your help.
You needn't worry about me—I'm a natural secret keeper!
