[Sephiroth gives her a wry look, because he's realizing the vague instructions are part of the point. She hasn't even suggested a subject.]
It's likely to be crude, is what it is.
[He's told her before that he isn't an artist.
...well, why not. He squeezes out some of the black paint, and then some green as well. The only things he's really drawn before are rough maps and diagrams, so that's what he settles on: an overhead representation of Midgar. It should be simple enough, just a large circle divided into eight sectors.
He takes up the brush in his left hand, scans over the paper and the paint, and closes his eyes. He does have a good spacial memory; he stays on the paper and the sectors are divided fairly evenly. But he isn't used to paint. His strokes are uneven, thick in some places, the nearly-dry bristles scraping the paper in others. He finishes with eight green blotches for the reactors, and one more in the center for the Shinra building.
...yes, it definitely looks crude to him once he opens his eyes to look. More of a strange black wheel than anything identifiable as a city.]
