Idle banter

• Garias

  What's wrong with the artist?

• Brem

  Besides the bleedin' obvious? He misses the sun.

• Garias

  He what?

• Brem

  Needs light to work, he says. We had a chat - turns out he needs his eyes more.

• Garias

  Did that artist really paint all those things?

• Brem

  Says he did, yeah.

• Garias

  Why?

• Brem

  Says his muse made him do it.

• Garias

  Who's that, then?

• Brem

  Gods, little brother - read a bleedin' book.

• Garias

  Here, make your fella draw me something.

• Brem

  You got coin?

• Garias

  Yeah, all right, fine. Who are you, his muse?

• Brem

  Don't pretend you know what that means. What kind of drawin' you want?

• Garias

  Birds.

• Brem

  Like, any kind of birds, or...

• Garias

  Pretty ones. With colours and stuff.

If the party freed Oskar:

• Garias

  I miss watching your artist paint.

• Brem

  I made a bucket of coins off him. When we get back to the gate, I'll take you to a museum.

• Garias

  They got paintings in those?

• Brem

  A few, yeah.

• Brem

  Did I see you drawing something earlier?

• Garias

  So? Can do a better job than that ponce you sold.

• Brem

  Huh. Keep it up, little brother - might be I can sell yousome day.

• Garias

  Aw.

• Brem

  Like ma always wanted.
