[Styxx had been thinking about this for awhile, and finally decided to turn on his phone to make an offer to everyone.]

I know everyone might have someone that they miss from their homes. Perhaps someone you've lost, or a memory, place, or story you want to remember or tell, so I'm making an offer for everyone to sketch those people or places for them. No charge since it's something to keep me busy. Let me know if you are interested.

[And then he holds up a sketchbook and flips through a few pages, keeping the more personal ones out of view.]

Some of my work.

[He shows a few sketches. Sketch 2. Sketch 3. Each looks like they might jump off the page at any moment, showing Styxx's skill and emotions all put into them.

Once he's done showing the sketches, he ends the feed.]

I understand discretion and you have no worry of me breaking your trust. I give you my word that it will remain between the two of us.

[And from the sound of it, Styxx kept to his word with every fiber of his being.]

[Ah, the sound of an honest man. Although the shadows of his cowl make it near impossible to see, Artorias smiles.]

Thank you. I imagine my caution is unwarranted, but... Well, few are the knights who survive terribly long that lack it.

[He shifts a bit, settling in for what is as much a story as a description.]

...Although my Lord acknowledges but two now, in reality his children are four in number.

The youngest, Gwyndolin, is acknowledged still, but oft overlooked due to her reclusive nature and ill-health. I... thought she might like a portrait of herself. [He goes on to further describe the youngest princess. Don't ask him to explain the snake legs. That's just how Gwyndolin is.

Next he speaks of his Lord's third child, Filianore, and her kindness, conspicuously avoiding any mention of why he had been forbidden to speak of her.]

[And then there's a long, somber pause.]

...My captain held Lord Gwyn's eldest as a dear friend. He still does, I believe, even after... what transpired. I feel that some record of his existence would be a comfort next I see him.

[This description takes a bit longer than the others, interspersed with more pauses as he tries to recall the features of someone he'd not seen in quite a long time, and yet somehow seems a bit more personal in the way he tells it than it had been for the other two.]

((ooc: In case you're canonblind, I figure I should mention that there's no official art of the Nameless King prior to looking kinda zombie-ish which happens after the last time Artorias sees him, so feel absolutely free to skip him if need be.))

I will do what I can. It may take me some time to sketch them all however. As long as you don't mind the wait.

((ooc: No problem. We can just pretend Styxx sketched him anyway.))
