You should try it. [itsuki is an artist now so he's all about this] It feels pretty calming when you get into it... You can just turn your thoughts off for an hour.
A lot of people take classes or apprenticeships, yeah. But art depends on feelings, right? No one can stop you from feeling something. And who's gonna stop you from drawing or making whatever you like?
[ he looks like he doesn't really want to answer. but: ]
There were certain materials I had to be familiar with due to my family's... traditions. It is pretty exclusive knowledge, so I can't disclose any details.

Did you get the right kind of paint? It doesn't seem very well suited to the elements if it's peeling away already...
no subject
[hm]
I felt pretty confident that it'd stick on though. Maybe it looks better like this? Kind of romantic...
[squints]
no subject
[ he... doesn't know about romance so he can't offer any input about that. ]
no subject
That's a good idea. [...] Wanna go check?
no subject
It'd rather have something to do that sit around the apartment... Let's go.
no subject
itsuki and malik will go on their date though to the art room!! good thing this isn't a murder location...]
Hm, hm. [he'll rifle through everything he's rifled the day before, but maybe he'll find something new] Have you been here before, Mu-kun?
no subject
[ so, no. ]

he is allowed to be cute exactly once
It wasn't something that was ever allowed before, so I never did it. Doing it now feels like I'm forcing it.
in each thread right....
Well, if you feel that way. [it's fine! he's not cursed with pushiness] How come you weren't allowed to do art before?
:)
[ he says this flatly, simply - just stating a fact. ]
no subject
[though he knows there are plenty of families who want their kids to focus on something that will MAKE THEM MONEY, even in 1919]
What did you study? Is it okay if I ask?

no subject
I remember -- we talked a little about traditions before.
[it makes more things about malik make sense.]
So your family's big on traditions, huh... It makes sense that the subject's important to you.
no subject
[ important... maybe? he's not too sure but he also doesn't like to question it too much. ]
no subject
[generational trauma...]
I say that, but I was never that big of an artist? But I'm thinking about it all the time now.
[wow!!! weird!!]
no subject
That's something you like though, isn't it? Something you have the freedom to do.
no subject
That's true. I'm lucky that they have all these supplies here too. Paint's expensive back home.
no subject
I take it you don't go around painting benches back home...
no subject
No... I think I'd probably get arrested. [heh] This doesn't seem like something Steel-san would care about, so I'm probably safe here.
no subject
Mn, that's true. All four of them seem rather... lax.
