Byleth & Ignatz A

Ignatz
How incredible. What a striking color.

Ignatz
Ah, Professor! Look at this stone.

Ignatz
Such a brilliant blue. You don't normally find stones like this around here.

Ignatz
I ought to grind it down. I wonder if it would still be the same color.

Ignatz
To make pigment for my art! Good supplies don't come cheap. I prefer to make my own.

Ignatz
Blue is especially expensive. How fortunate that I chanced upon this remarkable blueness!

Ignatz
Oh, I'm sorry. There I go again, blathering on and on about painting.

Ignatz
Oh yes, but I know that I can get rather caught up in it and, ah, enthusiastic.

Ignatz
You know, Professor, no matter how impassioned I become about my art, you never hold it against me.

Ignatz
One could argue that I'm better off preparing for our next battle. I am becoming a knight.

Ignatz
Oh, Professor. Please don't say things like that.

Ignatz
I gave up on my artistic dreams long ago.

Ignatz
To support my family, I will be a knight. That's that.

Ignatz
I'll continue with my art as a hobby. I don't think I could ever give it up.

Ignatz
When I see something beautiful, I can't suppress the urge to paint it. I don't have a choice.

Ignatz
And if my art can bring happiness to even one person, that's good enough for me.

Ignatz
...

Ignatz
Professor, I have a favor to ask.

Ignatz
I'm painting a portrait right now. When it's finished, I'd like to give the piece to you. Would you take it?

Ignatz
Perhaps it can bring you a little happiness. That will have made the effort well worth it.

Ignatz
Oh, excellent! Is that a promise? Because I'm really going to put my heart in it.

Ignatz
Ah, that is, I'm going to enjoy partaking in this casual hobby of mine!
