Lazy Sketches Warm Up (Patreon)

L: I’m working on dialogues with Lazy right now! To get back into the way she talks and remember some details about her, I replayed the first chapter of tcol.

I noticed something about her I hadn’t really seen before, even though it was always there. For example, why does she trust Roui so much? Why is she such a loyal friend? Lazy is definitely kind—that’s obvious—but there’s more to it. She feels like her life is dull and that she doesn’t deserve anything better, so she doesn’t see the point in complaining. But Roui? He’s always felt like he belongs to ‘another world.’ He’s a bringer of wonderful stories, almost like a character straight out of a fairy tale. She wants to hold onto him as a little piece of that magical world she knows she’ll never really be part of.

It’s funny, because those feelings are exactly the same as Roui’s when it comes to the Nourian singlits and the ‘tsourai’ constellations.

In this scene, Lazy is a bit younger than in the game (yeah, I love drawing this kind of stuff). Text on the sketch: “She’s into boho style: baggy cardigans, fringe, big accessories.”
