Thank you for all of your help again today.
link Ignatz volume_up
I was happy to do it.

"Bring me more hay, Four Eyes"? That's so rude!
link Marianne volume_up
I'm sorry, Ignatz. I fear she's getting a bit too familiar with you now.
link Ignatz volume_up
Haha! I'm just glad she's getting used to me— although I probably could have done without that "four eyes" comment...
link Marianne volume_up
Ignatz, why have you continued helping me care for these pegasi?
link Marianne volume_up
Surely you have enough to paint your picture now, yet you continue fetching hay and mucking out stalls.
link Ignatz volume_up
You're probably right, but this is for my dreams.
link Ignatz volume_up
You remember the painting you picked up before? Well, I created it to resemble the pegasus I once rode with my mother when I was small.
link Marianne volume_up
You rode a pegasus with your mother?
link Ignatz volume_up
Yes. I heard she was a pegasus knight a long time ago, and when I showed interest, she took me for a ride.
link Ignatz volume_up
The moment we took off, I got so scared I buried myself in her sleeve and missed the whole first part.
link Ignatz volume_up
But once I finally managed to pry open my eyes, the view was...breathtaking.
link Ignatz volume_up
I saw the whole of Leicester spread out before me. It stirred something in my heart, and I...I wanted...
link Marianne volume_up
You wanted to become a painter?
link Ignatz volume_up
I wanted to become a pegasus knight! Ah, but that was just one of my many silly childhood dreams.
link Ignatz volume_up
Plus, after we landed my mother told me that pegasi don't allow adult men to ride them, so that pretty much nipped my dream in the bud.
link Marianne volume_up
I see.
link Ignatz volume_up
But while I may have been forced to give up that dream, I can be anything I want in my imagination!
link Ignatz volume_up
And by interacting with pegasi like this, it's easier to imagine myself soaring through the sky.
link Marianne volume_up
You clearly still hold dear the desire to ride one.
link Marianne volume_up
Even if we weren't speaking of it now, your passionate feelings resonate throughout your paintings.
link Ignatz volume_up
What? You can...sense my feelings?
link Marianne volume_up
Yes, I can easily tell how precious you consider pegasi.
link Ignatz volume_up
Oh, that's what you meant...
link Marianne volume_up
And if this one understands how you feel, then maybe—just maybe—she will permit you to ride her.
link Ignatz volume_up
But...isn't that impossible?
link Marianne volume_up
Normally, yes. But she's very used to you now, and... Honestly, I'd really like to see it.
link Marianne volume_up
I would dearly love to see your dream finally come true.
link Ignatz volume_up
Well, if you put it like that, I can't very well say no.
link Ignatz volume_up
Hello, pegasus. Will you please deign to carry your new friend Four Eyes up into the sky?
link Ignatz volume_up
No! I take it back! I take it all back!
link Ignatz volume_up
I wanted to fly but NOT LIKE THIS!
link Marianne volume_up
Oh dear. I thought she'd let him climb on her back, not grab his clothing in her teeth.
link Marianne volume_up
Goodness, I hope they don't rip. It would be a very long way down.
link Ignatz volume_up
I can't enjoy the scenery like this! Mariaaanne! HELP MEEE!
