Ignatz: ...
Ingrid: Hey, Ignatz, what are you doing
here?
Ignatz: ...
Ingrid: Uh, hello? Oh! You're painting.
Ignatz: Ingrid! What are you doing
here?
I could ask you the same!
Ingrid: I...did ask you the same. Anyway, I'm just visiting the cathedral. I must say, that painting is looking wonderful!
Ignatz: Aaaaah! Don't look, don't look!
Ingrid: Why not? It really looks great.
Ignatz: Really?
Ingrid: I wouldn't lie. Let me have a
look. Oh, it's the statue of Saint
Seiros.
Ignatz: I hope you don't think I was
ignoring you. When I'm painting, I get
totally absorbed.
Ingrid: Of course not. My feelings
aren't hurt so easily. Hmm, what if you
gave her a more edgy outfit? Shorten up
her skirt or something?
Ignatz: No! That would be improper!
Ingrid: Ooh, and how about making her
sword bigger? Oh! Oh! Turn her into a
valiant knight!
Ignatz: But she's not a knight.
Ingrid: Aw, come on. Just this once? ... Huh... She doesn't exactly look like a knight. More like a maniacal demigod...
Ignatz: Yeah, it just kinda came out
that way.
Ingrid: It's...different. Not quite how
I envisioned.
Ignatz: It's my fault. I should have
stuck to my original idea.
Ingrid: I'm sorry I pushed you, Ignatz.
I'll leave you be.

Ingrid: Good day, Ignatz! So, painting again?
Ignatz: Ingrid! Yes, I'm painting Saint
Seiros again.
Ingrid: Look... I'm really sorry about the last time. It's my fault it turned out so...well, different.
Ignatz: No, no need to apologize. I appreciated the fresh input. It made me think.
Ingrid: That's kind of you to say but
no need to pull punches.
Ignatz: It's the truth! I'm so caught
up in my own mind.
Ingrid: I'd never have thought to try that. Ignatz, I appreciate your attitude, but...
Ignatz: Yes?
Ingrid: There are times when it's OK to feel upset or angry. If you're feeling that way, it's always best to be honest.
Ignatz: But, but--
Ingrid: I understand the weight of what
I did. I besmirched a sacred image-- and
it was a painting you were pouring your
heart into.
I got carried away, but I'd prefer if
you had told me then and there that my
request was uncalled for.
Ignatz: I'm not angry. I could never get angry with you. I'm sorry.
Ingrid: Why are you apologizing? I'm
the one apologizing!
Ignatz: Oh! Sorry!
Ingrid: Stop saying sorry! Ugh, never
mind. Forgive me. I came here to
apologize, and now I'm being sharp with
you...
Ignatz: Don't worry. It's my fault, really. I'm not very good at expressing myself.
Ingrid: I never intended to be such a bother. I think I'll leave you to it.
Ignatz: Oh, OK. Sorry.

Ignatz: Where are you going, Ingrid?
Ingrid: Oh! Uh, hi! I see you spotted
me-- um, saw me. I don't want to disturb
you.
Ignatz: Don't worry. I just finished my painting of Saint Seiros.
Ingrid: Oh, that's wonderful. May I
see?
Ignatz: Of course! Take a look.
Ingrid: Whoa. She looks so different from the other painting. Much more divine and gentle.
Ignatz: She looks so real, doesn't she?
So alive. Perhaps it's boastful for me
to say that.
Ingrid: Not at all! She really does!
She has a glowing vibrancy to her.
Looking at this painting, I feel so
inspired.
Ignatz: I was going to paint her as
loving and benevolent.
But then I remembered your idea, and I
decided to depict her fighting for her
people.
Ingrid: Really? Actually, now that I
look closer, I see her sword is rather
large. And she seems to be in a battle
stance!
Ignatz: That's right. Although, of course, I had to discard some of your more absurd suggestions.
Ingrid: I'm sorry about that.
Ignatz: No, wait! That's not what I
meant!
I see that if I open myself up to
suggestions from other people, new
things become possible.
And I have you to thank for that
realization.
Ingrid: If that's true, I'm very glad I
could help.
Ignatz: You made a good point. We can't
be blinded by our own thought patterns
and ideas. It's important to be open to
others', as well.
By doing so, we discover new paths for
ourselves, and we can even become
better in ways we may never have
imagined.
Ingrid: Exactly!
Thank you, Ignatz. You've reminded me
of a very valuable lesson.
I'm going to strive to be more
attentive and listen to other people's
ideas.
Ignatz: Me too. And I've just had a new
idea for a painting!
Ingrid: I can't wait to see it. I bet it'll be a masterpiece!

Ignatz: ...
Ingrid: Always diligently working on
your craft.
Ignatz: Agh! Ingrid! How long were you
standing there?
Ingrid: Only just now. Oh! Is that the new painting you were mentioning? You sounded especially inspired about this one. May I see?
Ignatz: No! I mean... The painting's
not ready yet. I don't want anyone to
see it before it's finished.
Ingrid: But...we had spoken about how
much your perspective can broaden when
you let other people in on your work.
Had a change of heart?
Ignatz: It's not that. This one is
embarrassing, is all.
Ingrid: Come on-- you know you don't need
to feel embarrassed around me. Please,
show me!
Ignatz: Uh, all right. Just for a
second.
Ingrid: This one is even more beautiful
than the last! A knight in shimmering
armor, fighting in all her glory!
That lance looks a lot like mine! And
the armor... and the horse...
Um, Ignatz... Is...that...
Ignatz: Yes. It's you.
The woman in this image-- she's so
powerful and regal...
I'm in awe. So elegant and refined, but
with such a soft air, despite the armor
and weaponry...
That's how I see you.
You remind me of Saint Seiros.
Brave and vibrant and powerful, yet
kind and gentle.
Sorry! Was that too much?
Ingrid: That was too much. Thank you, Ignatz. I'm deeply touched. And also embarrassed.
Ignatz: I'm feeling a little
embarrassed myself.
Ingrid: Truly. I'm so moved. I guess
now I really need to live up to all
your painting encompasses!
Please show it to me once it's
finished.
Ignatz: I will. I promise. Though I
don't think I'll show it to anyone
else.
