[ it's a lovely day to check out the art room! leo thought so, too. he's here when nier arrives, working on what appears to be a homemade ouija board? huh. it's... not very good, but he's only got one functional hand, so don't judge! ]
Hey! Did you swing by for a little DIY, too?

Well, you came to the right place! They've got all kinds of supplies here. It's kind of impressive, actually.
[ he glances at the wip ouija board and gives a little huff. ]
Because they gave us homework for the ouija board class, but they wouldn't let us take one out to do the homework. I've got to make my own because I am not going to fail. Why, did you need one, too? I can make more while I'm at it.

Oh, you guys are really taking the homework seriously, huh? Good for you. Here, you can take this one when I'm done.
[ it's... getting there....... ]

[ he pauses to consider this for a moment. ]
Maybe just some help with the ABO class homework? I'm not much of a writer, but I don't want to fall behind, either.

And here I thought you'd be the expert, with your booth and all.
[ teasing! ]
No worries, though. I'll figure it out.

[ LAUGHS ]
Now there's a glowing review. Sure, paint me something. Whatever your heart desires!

[ oh. that makes him smile, genuinely. ]
The only thing I've got from home is this.
[ with some difficulty, he pulls out an old, worn paper from his tool belt. after unfolding it, nier will find a crayon drawing of an ancient greek trireme - not that he'll know what it is - with a dragon's head at the mast. ]
But I could probably sketch something out, or just describe him to you?

[ he was five when he drew it but it is very obviously a ship, yes. there are oars and masts and sails! ]
Well, you did see him. He's - huge. [ laughs. ] About sixty feet long, probably, and he could fit three of us on his back at once. He's made of celestial bronze, but his scales have a gold in them, too, and he's got these ruby-colored eyes like search lights.
And the wings! You can't forget those, I worked hard to get those reattached!
[ he's just really happy to talk about his dragon and it shows. ]

[ leo hums thoughtfully as he looks it over. ]
The horns... they're more curved, like this. [ he's not going to draw it out, but like - gesture at the shape? ] And the wings - think bat wings, but made of metal.

Yeah, that's more like it.
[ nods approvingly! ]
It looks good! I can't wait to see how he looks once you've painted it. Can you really do a metal effect?
[ nods approvingly! ]

... There's metallic paint? [ HE DOESN'T KNOW. ] Maybe I can ask Alphinaud for advice before I start the metal effect.
[ yeah. ]
You know, there aren't any dragons where I'm from... Just drawing on picture books, so seeing Festus was really something. Even if that one wasn't the real one and tried to kill you.
[ yeah. ]

I mean, probably. I wouldn’t know, I’m not really an artist.
[ but the ouija boards look fine for someone with one hand i guess?? ]
That’s not surprising. They were supposedly just stories where I’m from, too, but it turns out most of them were killed or went into hiding along with everything else from the myths. Festus was the first one I actually met.

[ YOUR PAINTING... ]
Yeah, but if they're in hiding, it means they're safe, so. Compromise! And Festus... He was struggling for a while there, but after I fixed him up, I think he was just happy to be useful again. Which, you know - relatable.

[ that isn’t as reassuring as nier probably hopes. leo just nods as he keeps his eyes trained on the wip ouija boards. ]
That’s what people keep telling me.
