Transaction 002 [Audio]

[bespectacledsnake]

Tell me, Hadriel, I am curious. Are there any artists here? 

I will admit I am not an artist myself, but I do consider myself a collector and you see I'd like to...well, let us say... update this house a little bit. 

[Watch out, Newt, he's decorating.] 

If you are interested I am certain we could find some arrangement by way of payment.

Well that is fortunate for me because with the economy here as it is I could not fairly compensate you for a work that should be in the Uffizi.

What kind of subjects do you usually draw?

[nonscriptum]

Well, uh...landscapes, architecture, people. I used to travel a lot, so I'd bring sketchbooks with me.

[Nate also isn't sure how he could be compensated now, because they don't have a currency and they've got some seriously depleted resources the last time he checked, but-]

Paper's in short supply here but I do pretty much the same thing now.

[bespectacledsnake]

Can you sketch places from memory?

[They will visit the topic of compensation momentarily]

[nonscriptum]

Yeah, of course.

[Nate says with a tone of voice that clearly isn't trying to sound like an asshole, or insulted, it's just how he is. His memory isn't eidetic, but it's pretty damn good.]

What place do you have in mind?
