Four years is an especially long time for you, right? With your island...
[ twenty three years. for taair, it's normal, if only because - well, he's been working on his book for longer - but he likes to share this moment of awe with lucas, to try and see the world through his eyes for a little while. even without emotionshare, he's too empathetic not to, and watching him look around in awe warms him to his core. ]
It is amazing what the human soul can do. When we become passionate about something, it enflames our entire being... I had meant to do something not so different, myself.
[ his precious book!!!!! he takes him down a few more steps through the altar room, looking between his little guidebook and the paintings overhead. ]
You and I both. [ DON'T JOKE HE WILL BE HERE FOREVER. ] Look, do you see? In the center, there.
[ he points upwards again, this time to the central panel. ]
Apparently, that is considered one of the greatest masterpieces of the entire ceiling. Do you see how the fingers aren't quite touching? Supposedly, it is to represent the idea that man could never entirely reach divine perfection.
I think... it's wonderful, to depict scripture and the like this way, too. Art is something anyone can enjoy - literacy is a luxury for so many people in Rodinia, but there are so many devout practitioners of the Light of Sanctuary that it is especially wonderful to know the scriptures can be interpreted visually, too.
