".. yeah. Uhh.. sure."
"I am Ann, by the way."
Xil.
".. so.. what kind of things do you want to see?"
.. something relaxing.. I guess.
Watching rain.. sitting next to a fireplace.. that sort. I’ve done a lot of exciting stuff today. Just want to rest for a bit.
"Alright."
Ann blows on the everlasting drink and imbues it with her memory. She pours some for Xil.

Surrounded by shelves of half finished statues and covered in a warm light, they experience wood carving from the eyes of Ann.
Slowly, a block of wood becomes two figures. A human male with amber eyes holding hands with a giant.
The human male wears a long sleeve shirt over some cloth wraps around his chest and loose fitting pants.
The female giant wears cloth wraps around her chest, long gloves which extend to her forearms, a skirt and socks. Ann spends a lot of time adding patterns and small accessories to the this giant.
The gemstone and star like patterns on the clothes seem to imply that she was a maid of someone wealthy.
Eventually, Ann pulls out several boxes of painting equipment and begin coloring the wooden figures.
Her painting skills are quite advanced, able to capture the slight darkness of the scar across the human’s face and the dark red tints of old burn wounds. She even remembers to add some slight greyness in the giant’s pink skin around the shaved armpits.
For the most part, Xil remains silent, but eventually says
Those look pretty nice. Are they for a client?
"Nah. It’s a birthday present for my grandma."
"It was.. a very long time ago. Back when I was still alive."
They look nice.
"Thanks."
"…"
She only wrote their first names, 'Makari' and 'Isabelle' on the base of the sculptures due to the small amount of space.
