Thaw of Knowledge/Rosado: Adorable Artist

Rosado: Adorable Artist - C

Rosado	A bright-blue sky... Warm, peach-tinged clouds... Sun-kissed flowers... That’ll do! This marks the completion of my hundredth landscape drawing! Time to celebrate!
Wow! How wonderful!		Sharena
Rosado	Huh?! Princess Sharena?!
Sorry if I startled you. But your drawing is so beautiful, I couldn’t help myself. You’re Rosado, from Elyos, right?		Sharena
Rosado	Yes! You must’ve heard of me and my artwork, which speaks for itself. It’s an honor to meet you.
I’ve seen you drawing before, and I got curious. Um...Rosado? You said this is your hundredth landscape? How have you found the time to draw that many?		Sharena
Rosado	I’m fast! But with good reason. My hometown had beautiful scenery, but the weather shifted frequently. I had to be quick or my view would change as clouds blew into the valley. Or worse, rain would ruin my strokes!
Ah... So it was by happenstance you trained yourself to draw so quickly.		Sharena
Rosado	However... I’ve noticed the weather here doesn’t change so suddenly. So I can take my time! Even though I’m new here, I already have my favorite spots to draw. Askr is filled with cute places. I love it!
Nothing makes me happier than when people praise my homeland.		Sharena
I’d love to see more of your work. Would that be all right?		Sharena
Rosado	Of course! I don’t want to sound rude for asking, but would you mind telling me where your favorite spot is? I want to draw more of Askr’s cute scenery!
Really? That’s all you need? All right... I’ll take you to the must-see, most breathtaking spot in all of Askr!		Sharena

Rosado: Adorable Artist - B

Sharena	Here it is, Rosado! The must-see, most breathtaking spot in all of Askr!
Wow... It’s beautiful. Endless fields of flowers surrounding the lake... The light shimmering through the clouds... This place is so cute! And just steps from the castle, like a magical playground right in your backyard. Thank you, Princess Sharena!		Rosado
Sharena	I’m glad you like it too. I used to play here as a child.
It reminds me of my hometown. In the valley, surrounded by mountains, there was also a lake. Like this one! The landscape was so ethereal, like a dream. We called it the village of the fair folk.		Rosado
Sharena	Fair folk...in a village like a dream... Tell me, what are they like? Are they like fairies? You know, the álfar are like dream fairies! You don’t secretly have wings, do you, Rosado?
Oh, no. I know I’m cute, but I’m just a normal human.		Rosado
Sharena	Of course you are. But this village sounds amazing!
Do you like fairies, Princess Sharena?		Rosado
Sharena	Oh, yes! Very much!
Then I should take you to my village. It’s so beautiful and people spread legends of fairies there. For now, I’m going to draw a picture of this place!		Rosado
Sharena	I look forward to seeing it.
Ta-da! It’s finished!		Rosado
Sharena	Wow! You really are amazing! The details are remarkable, as if you cut it out of a book. Is this...me?
It is. The idea of you playing in the flower fields was so cute, I had to draw it!		Rosado
Sharena	I look so...splendid. I feel like I have a lot to live up to. You’re not only great at landscapes, but people too.
I don’t mean to brag, but I may have what it takes to be a portrait artist. Plus, since I can draw so fast, my models won’t lose feeling in their limbs from sitting still for so long.		Rosado
Sharena	You do have a point...
Sharena	... Um... Rosado? I want you to draw me a portrait.
I’d be happy to, but... Is something wrong? You look so serious. Whose portrait am I drawing?		Rosado
Sharena	About that...

Rosado: Adorable Artist - A

Sharena	Alfonse!
Yes, Sharena? What is it?		Alfonse
Sharena	I’d like you to meet someone. This is Rosado, a Hero from Elyos!
It is an honor to meet you, Prince Alfonse. Um... Princess Sharena, is this whose portrait you want me to draw?		Rosado
Sharena	It is! I’d like you to draw a portrait of me and my brother together!
Of the two of you together? I never would’ve guessed that.		Rosado
Alfonse	We have portraits of us already. Why do you want another?
We don’t have one of us together! The ones we have were done separately, and from pretty far back. And we’ve grown. Our faces are different now. At the very least I’m more mature and attractive...		Sharena
Alfonse	Then why not have one drawn of you alone?
N-no! I want one of us together!		Sharena
Rosado	Um, Princess Sharena?
I’ve always wanted one of us, but they always take so long and you’re always so busy, I gave up on the idea. But Rosado can draw one in a short period of time. Besides... If we don’t do it now, I’m afraid we’ll miss out on the opportunity forever.		Sharena
Rosado	I see... Princess Sharena... I’d be honored to draw a portrait of the two of you. You make an adorable pair! And, as stated, it won’t take much time at all! What do you say, Prince Alfonse?
Hm... If it’s quick, I don’t see why not. I’m sorry Sharena’s dragging you into this, but you’re sure you don’t mind, Rosado?		Alfonse
Rosado	Absolutely not!
And how much will this cost? We can’t ask you to work for nothing.		Alfonse
Sharena	H-he’s right! I’m sorry, Rosado! Please, tell us your price!
I’m honored... But art is my hobby. Perhaps that money is better spent on armor. You can never be too safe.		Rosado
Alfonse	Hmm?
Now, take a seat, you two, and I’ll get started!		Rosado
Alfonse	Really? Right now?!
They say not to hesitate in the face of something good.		Sharena
Oh, wait! My bangs! Just let me fix my bangs first!		Sharena

Rosado: Adorable Artist - S

Rosado	My double portrait of Prince Alfonse and Princess Sharena is complete! You can move now.
Thank you, Rosado. That was so fast, but I guess that was to be expected.		Sharena
Alfonse	That’s it? But it’s only been a few short hours. Or did I doze off?
Don’t act so surprised. I told you Rosado is fast!		Sharena
Rosado	Please, take a look. I hope you find the coloring to be perfect.
Wow! Look, Alfonse! Our smiles are wonderful!		Sharena
Alfonse	I’m impressed. Our royal artists will certainly be envious.
I’m glad you like it. But I-I’m sorry. I do have to tell you... I have yet to apply the finishing touches.		Rosado
Sharena	Wh-what? I’m sorry! I must have rushed you!
Not at all. I want to complete the final strokes once the war is over. Princess Sharena... This portrait will quell any regrets should you fall on the battlefield. That’s the point, right?		Rosado
Sharena	... Yes, that’s the point.
Sharena?! Why would you think something like that?		Alfonse
Sharena	If this war has taught me one thing, it’s that we never know when our day will come. I could die today. Or you could— I would regret not leaving behind a record of us together. And those smiles...
That’s why you wanted this portrait?		Alfonse
Sharena	Yes. I don’t want to leave this world with regrets. And Rosado... It’s like you saw right through me.
That’s why, if this portrait is your last wish, I won’t complete it until the war is over. You need a reason to live. And I don’t want my drawing to fulfill you so much that you succumb to whatever wounds may afflict you. I only have a little bit left to finish. But that should be enough of a reason to return alive, right?		Rosado
Sharena	Hehe, you’re right. I wouldn’t want such a glamorous picture of me left incomplete.
Of course not.		Rosado
Alfonse	Thank you, Rosado, for granting Sharena’s wish. I do not intend this portrait to be a memorial. Once this war is over and peace abounds, we’ll look back and cherish this moment.
I do hope so.		Rosado
Alfonse	We should be off then, into battle. And we’ll return, unharmed, so you can complete our portrait.
Yes, Alfonse!		Sharena
Rosado	And I’ll do my best to honor you by one day completing this portrait of you two together!
