There's no art here.
[Equius sounds disgruntled and put upon, and he's scowling crabbily.]
I've lived here for almost a full sweep, and I haven't been able to find a single art gallery or museum here with anything interesting! Isn't there anyone here who knows anything about art? Or has some from their home world?

[Sorry, Equius, you've lost him there. He's not familiar with troll terms for things. He gives the troll a very blank look.]
I don't have a hive.
Video
Your home. Where is your home?
[He's not face-palming at you, Lloyd, he's facepalming over his own mistake.]
Video
[Weird slip of the tongue, but okay.]
Heh, I thought you meant a bee hive. I live in the Yutopil Apartments on the first floor, in room six.
Video --> action?
[And about twenty minutes later, there's a knock on Lloyd's door.]
action
Hey, Equius. Come on in.
[His apartment is a bit of a mess, what with two bachelors living in it. A few clothes, a few dishes, and various other things, but a lot of it is stuff from Lloyd's craft projects and a few half-finished carvings. If Equius looks around, though, he's bound to see a few figurines resting on shelves and level surfaces. Some are people and animals, some are just abstract shapes, some look like they might be intended for jewelry.]
action
[Nah, Equius doesn't mind the mess. He's a little sloppy himself, and goes with the school of thought that if he can find it, it doesn't matter if no one else can.]
[He quickly spots the carved figurines, though, and hones in on the ones shaped like animals.]
Is this one a hoofbe--a horse?
action
Yeah, it is! I wasn't sure I got it right. I haven't seen that many horses, and I was just going off of memory. What do you think? Do you like it?
action
[It could use more muscles, Equius thinks. But then, it's clearly an Earth horse and not an Alternian musclebeast, and it looks very much like an Earth horse.]
There's a stable in Vatheon if you want to see more horses and carve from life.
action
[Seeing a horse is still a pretty novel thing to him. That would be cool to see even if he wasn't going to carve.]
You can have that one, if you want. I've got plenty of carvings. There's more in my room, too.
[He tries not to clutter up the apartment too much.]
action
[Equius never needs an excuse to go visit the horses!]
[His eyes widen behind his shades at Lloyd's offer, and he carefully, reverently tucks the little carving away in his sylladex.]
Thank you. Thank you very much. You do fine work, and I'd be happy to display it in the gallery.
action
[Gesturing for Equius to follow, Lloyd heads up a flight of stairs that don't have any railing. His room is at the top, through a door to the left.]
This is my room. Sorry about the mess.
[Definitely a lot more clutter in here - more figurines and carvings, but also different kinds of tools. Bits of wire and metal litter parts of the floor, some of the pieces finished enough that it's clear they're supposed to be jewelry.]
You really think my stuff is that good?
action
If I paid you, could you make that into a piece of jewelry for a friend of mine?
[Which means yes, he's very impressed by Lloyd's stuff.]
action
Um, sure! What kind of jewelry were you thinking about?
[Someone offering to pay him for something he'd made. He can't remember ever feeling more flattered.]
action
[Equius doesn't know much about jewelry, after all. It practically disintegrates in his hands.]
Do you know Nepeta? It would be for her, since that's her color. She's very active and high-spiritied, so it would probably need to be something STRONG and durable.
action
[Like maybe he talked to her once, but it was a while back.]
What does she look like?
action
[He traces the Leo sign in the air.]
She's very beautiful, and deserves to have nice things.

action
[Should Equius be embarrassed that Lloyd only knows his moirail from that one time they were mercilessly tormenting Eridan? Well, he's not!]
Do you think you could come up with something?
action
Does she like things with cats?
action
action
action
[This is turning out better than Equius had hoped!]
Could you make her something with cats on it?
action
Sure. It might take me a little bit, though.
[He really wishes he had access to a forge, but he'll figure something out.]
Do you need it by a certain time?
action
Thanks, Lloyd.
action
So, did you want to take any of these other carvings, too? You know, for your museum.
