[Markus has been busy. Since the festival, he's been working through some things. The humans here are so nice to him, so accepting. A few he's spoken with even encouraged him to try things for himself just like Carl did. It turns out that art is a good way of working through his feelings.

Most of what he's been doing are just recreations of scenes from the festival: the food carts and the various people working them, the float from the children's parade, people wearing body paint-- and here he included himself, wearing the android-appointed uniform instead of the scrubs he actually wore while attending. He did, however, include the face paint one of his new human friends did for him.

But that's not really the focus. He centers the camera on a portrait of an elderly man]

I was missing Carl, and so I painted this.

Thank you. I'm still learning.

Of course. If this is you learning, I can't wait to see when you're a master!

[compartmentalise]

I would need more space to work with. Do you know a good place for an art studio?

[11calls]

Hmm. I'm afraid not. But maybe someone else does?

[compartmentalise]

All right. I'll ask around.

[11calls]

I'll ask around too and keep an ear open! Maybe the university might have some spots? I know they have an art wing.

[compartmentalise]

Most colleges and universities do.

But they may have some extra space there.

[compartmentalise]

All right. I'll ask. Thank you for the suggestion.
