*sets down a couple maps and looks hands and arms over* Good. The lighter parchment helped keep the smudges out of the piece. *makes face at black blob on elbow* Well, at least off the maps. *looks at work* I think that will do it.

For any other projects like this, remember this: trace of blue paint for rivers, black ink a couple times over detailed words in foreign languages, and a bright red brush of red with a thin brush over the main roads, lots of charcoal over the mountains or forest, different patterns. Leo was great help. *nods again and turns to clean up work space* I hope the charcoal stayed off my poetry book this time.

I hope they're what he wanted. *brushes black stuff off place*
