I had to study.

[ he says this flatly, simply - just stating a fact. ]

[nightchild]

...Your family must have been pretty strict.

[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?

[godcards]

[ 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.

[nightchild]

[he nods,]

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.

[godcards]

It's just something that I grew up with.

[ important... maybe? he's not too sure but he also doesn't like to question it too much. ]

[nightchild]

The things we grow up with have the biggest effect on us.

[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!!]

[godcards]

[ he looks away, very interested at the nearby wall. ]

That's something you like though, isn't it? Something you have the freedom to do.

[nightchild]

[DON'T JUST LOOK AT THE WALL MALIK??]

That's true. I'm lucky that they have all these supplies here too. Paint's expensive back home.

[godcards]

[ what is he supposed to do? gaze into itsuki's eyes???????? when you use a shirtless icon????? no. ]

I take it you don't go around painting benches back home...

[nightchild]

[HE'S NOT NAKED IN REAL LIFE???]

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.

[godcards]

[ IT'S THE CONTEXT!!! ]

Mn, that's true. All four of them seem rather... lax.
