[Ah, good. Wangji is pleased to know there are manuals to study; he never likes to go into anything half cocked.]
I will have to see what they have to teach me, I only know traditional ink painting from my hometown so any information can only be beneficial.

[He listens intently, taking everything Madoka has to offer as seriously as one can. He is intent on learning and trying to find a new hobby to while away some time on board, and this will give them more to talk about.]

You are a keen artist? I must admit I have enjoyed the arts in any form but only as an observer. It will be nice to create something and see the outcome. Would you like to come and show me what you know?

[No harm if Madoka says no, but it could help take her mind off things.]
