[Atelier? Qifrey? Our girls?] So you’re a married man! Wow, I hope Mrs. Qifree? Qif— Qifrey? won’t mind having me around for a few!
Say, do you have orcs in this world, dragons, or like… talking lions?

[He sighed and rubbed his face in exasperation. There's no choice.]
It will get dark in a bit... My atelier is not too far from here. Qifrey is going to start dinner soon and our girls are about your age. Would you come with me?

WOW! You want to go back to school with me? 🤩

Slow down, lass. (💧)
Book? Sketches? Do you still have it with you?
𝑶𝒍𝒓𝒖𝒈𝒈𝒊𝒐.
I KNOW, RIGHT? I sorta checked out a book in the library and it had all these cool sketches that had annotations on how to draw them pretty, and then BAM, suddenly I was here! IT’S LIKE SEEING THINGS IN 1080P!
