[ Kirishima is just kind of tired after the fight in the Lost Temple so he's not showing up on video. He's got just one question. ]

So does anyone know why there's a Villain organization rallying behind a bleeding lemon?

Or does anyone know about any sort of um... what's that word.... emojism? It means 'meaning'. I mean the emojism for lemons as far as where I'm from is just "sour" but does it mean something different where you're from?

[ That's fair and he respects Uncle Jaskier regardless.... ]

Okay but if it was eyelashes, why just the bottom? Do people only do bottom eyelashes where you're from? It's weird where I am.

It's a symbol, Kirishima. [Here comes the professor voice. He doesn't get to use it much outside Oxenfurt.] Just a representation of the real object - it's often not accurate, it's only meant to present a concept. What if it is indeed blood instead? Can you think of any living creature capable of bleeding such defined lines?

[ He's been away from school proper for a year now, but Kirishima respects Professor Voice. ]

... No. Though the idea of something bleeding in defined lines is almost kinda awesome...

But going by what you say, that could still mean it's just a lemon with, I dunno, action marks?

...

Do you have pictures with action marks?

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if "bleeding in defined lines" turns out to be something Pokémon can do. [So, awesome indeed. He sounds confused when he talks again.] I'm afraid I can't answer that because I don't know what "action marks" are.

[machismost]

Okay, so action marks are like...

If somebody were gonna make a picture, it's a 2D drawing right? But they wanna show a shiny thing or blood coming out of their picture. They'd make some lines to show it. If you can only communicate in pictures you need to signal things are happening. That's action lines!

[ At this point, he's going to scour his collection. Surely mangakas exist in this universe to screenshot Jaskier shaky speech bubbles and movement lines. ]

Oh! Like in the comic thingies, correct? [He's learned what comics are, read a few. But he isn't used to the jargon yet! He's learned something today. Besides, you know, the possibility of bleeding lemons.] I understand where you're coming from now, but do those lines belong on symbols? Would this imply the lemon is moving? Or being thrown?

[Kame Lemon Ha???]
