This is indeed a great gift.

Leonardo retrieves his sketchbook, pen in hand, and shakes his head at Claude's question.

"No, no. I much prefer for my subjects to act naturally. It lends some personality to the end result."

Leonardo sits across from them, occasionally leaning this way or that to get a better look at the incredibly tiny, incredibly excited Joltik. The lines of his drawing, when he makes them, are done with his left hand. Very deliberate, very thin. A curve here, a bend there. A little more shadow in some areas than others. And if Leonardo happens to spend some time filling in the lines that would make up Claude's hands, well, that's just in the name of accuracy.

After a little bit of time, Leonardo speaks up again.

"Oh, yes, and feel free to talk, if you like. It helps fill the silence, just a little."
