BASTIEN
Each man set to his work and Bastien's brush hovered above one of his canvases for a moment as he simply watched them all begin, thrilled to have so much budding creativity in his guild building. This was what he lived for; giving people a chance to make, to express themselves in the most honest of ways. Finally he was able to drag his eyes back to his work, applying lines of colour for light in puddles, cobbles along roads.
It seemed everyone was interested in making objects; figurines and wreaths and sun-catchers. These would be easy to sell, so Bastien was rather happy with the result. Peter, who seemed the most hesitant, earned his first comment, Bastien's eyes still focused down on his work. "That is often how the best work comes to be, Peter. Let your inspiration flow through your fingers and make the piece for you."
A while passed with pleasant conversation and spells of quiet, filled by soft music coming from the thought player in the corner of the room; a Venetian ballet trickled through the air, the tune sometimes sounding a little chaotic as Bastien forgot a few seconds of the melody. Once he had finished two more small paintings and set them aside to dry, he looked up to see what everyone had developed their work into.
"I would love to know, if you each could share with me, what your inspiration is for your works. Something from your world? Your past? Simply aesthetically pleasing? It will help me to sell the pieces at Fiat Lux if I have a story - it is the most important tool for any salesman." As much as Bastien loathed establishment, would happily live in a world with no money at all (partially why he had taken so well to Caido), he had had to eat in Venice and so had developed a sharp ability for selling and appraising art.
