[Lloyd is feeling particularly artsy and lazy today. Which means he'll just draw on the journal, sup.

There are a number of rough sketches showing up on this page. They look like designs for something, but it's hard to say what since he seems to change his mind and start a new one every couple minutes. They start out as fairly intricate geometric patterns before he moves on to different themes -- at least a couple of them involve trees and stars, naturally. They're all very good, if incomplete.

There are other things scribbled in the margins, too, where he got distracted. Smaller designs for jewelry, pictures of Iota and some of his friends' pets, random things from outside his window, you name it.

If you ever wondered what Lloyd's stream of consciousness is like, this is it.]

... Man, I seriously can't make up my mind.

[A LONG, CONFUSED PAUSE. lmfao wtf.]

Dad? ... Is that you?

... Yes?

[DYING SO HARD OVER HERE]

[AN EXAGGERATED SIGH. o dad]

You know, if you liked that one, you could've just said so.

I was trying to...

Nevermind. [/facepalm at self]

[He starts to redraw it on another part of the page.]

Well, did you have an idea for it? I kinda got stumped while I was drawing it.

... I was trying to wrap it around the page.

It seems... artistic skill is not genetic.

[he laughs a little.]

Don't feel bad, Dad. I've just had a lot more practice, that's all.

And the tutelage of a dwarf.

Dad never really taught me how to draw. [Finishing up some of the upper branches, there.] Not a whole lot, anyway. He showed me what kind of stuff works for what and how to use my designs better, but most if it I just taught myself.

You are talented. There's no doubt.

Heh. I dunno, you should've seen some of the stuff I made for Colette at first. [NEVER MIND THAT HE WAS LIKE... TWELVE.]

I'm sure she enjoyed it anyway.

... Yeah. Yeah, I think she did. [He can't help being proud of that, Colette's always the one who's most excited to get stuff from him.] But I still need to keep practicing.

Then practice. We certainly don't mind looking at whatever you make.
