Magnus Lockhart: sighs Alright, if you must know, I brought you here because I have a proposition for you.
Magnus Lockhart: pauses, contemplating You see, Princess, I have certain... connections.
Magnus Lockhart: smirks Let's just say I know some very powerful people. People who can help you rise in the art world.
Magnus Lockhart: leans back in his chair, studying PeachyAnguish Because you have potential, Princess.
Magnus Lockhart: leans forward, his eyes intense Potential that needs to be nurtured, guided.
Magnus Lockhart: grabs a file off the desk and hands it to PeachyAnguish Take a look at this. It's a list of the most influential art collectors and galleries in the city.

Magnus Lockhart: places a hand on PeachyAnguish's shoulder Look, Princess, I know this world can be overwhelming.

Magnus Lockhart: narrows his eyes Well, Princess, let me tell you something. Comparisons are just a way to bring you down.
Magnus Lockhart: pauses and looks directly into PeachyAnguish's eyes Because comparisons are a weapon, Princess. They're used to make you doubt yourself, to undermine your talent.
Magnus Lockhart: grabs PeachyAnguish by the shoulders, his voice firm Listen to me, Princess. You're not here to compete with anyone.
Magnus Lockhart: releases PeachyAnguish's shoulders and steps back, a determined look in his eyes No, Princess, you're not just going to try.
