[ the skull carpet is absolutely my favorite part ]
W-well, I don't know about cute, but thanks! It is pretty great. See, over here in the courtroom part it's even got these things!
[ flips switches on the devices that sit on the floor at each side of the judge's bench, and... holographic fire pillars!!! ]
It's not real, though, so you don't have to worry about anything getting burned.
[ sticks his hand in to demonstrate!! which is maybe not the greatest impulse and may or may not give some insight into the old burn scars he has on his hands under his gloves, who knows. ]
Cool, right?

Oh, so like special effects? Cool! I've seen this kind of thing done on stage before, but we've never gotten to do it ourselves, so it's the first time I've really seen it up close.
I guess they thought you needed something flashy AF to get you pumped up about stuff?

[ the art room in the prism probably isn't a place sebastian would normally go to on his own, but he figures kazu might be there if he's not in his room, so. he comes over sometime in the evening after the trial and pokes his head in. ]
[ sure enough, he's here! a mixing palette and various tubes of paint sit out on the table, a small canvas in front of him. he doesn't seem to notice sebastian immediately, focused on the strokes of his brush - it has the makings of a beach at nighttime. ]
Partially, yeah. It also depends on the amount of detail you want to put into it, so you'd have to be more careful where you put the paint strokes - and to give you time to sleep, too.
That's not long compared to my usual style, though. The techniques are different, and it takes a lot of time and concentration to get it right. Those can take weeks to finish up the way you want it, but it's always worth it in the end.

No, you're fine.
[ he's just casually adding a stroke here or there as they talk, defining the ocean waves. ]
My dad took me to an art museum one day when I was in middle school. I liked what I saw, so I asked for some art materials for my birthday, and I started drawing whenever I had a second to spare - just little things, like whatever I saw around the house or stuff from photographs. Seeing all that art made me want to paint, too, but I had to learn the basics first, you know? So I taught myself.

Actually, I don't think it's really either? We just went inside because it was really hot that day. I don't think either of us was thinking about where we were going.
He goes to galleries where my art is set up now, but I don't think he really goes out of his way to see other stuff.

Not really. I've just been doing something different in the prism because my usual style takes a while to do... longer than I figured we had before, and def longer than we have now.
Usually I make things more like the paintings in my room. [ nihonga, that is. ] Apparently that's surprising! Who knew, right?

Oh! I don't think I would have expected that either... but I guess my taste in music surprised some people too, so maybe we're just good at exceeding expectations!
[ liking something is not the same as creating it, but sure. ]
A-anyway, that's really cool. If we ever get a good art room at the hotel maybe you can do a show there sometime.
