There is a brief pause filled with audible clicks and thuds, followed by the slightly echoey acoustics that come from someone recording audio in a large room. "Hello hello! You've reached Dr. Velocity! Feel free to leave a message or a video or whatever here, and I'll do my very best to respond promptly! And if it this is about the stickers, Ratchet, I didn't do it! Love and love and love!"

Velocity beamed. "That would be really super fun! I like working with you on anything, and art stuff ought to be! Super really fun!"

She then shuttered her optics, mouth parting a bit. "That's good to know about, at least, right? Then we can compensate for it." She stared to ask him to elaborate, but the swift change in topics had her pause and cough into her hand.

"Right. But oh! But! But! I know how to help with this one! Two thing, right? The first one is lightly tracing a grid on your paper --this part you'll like, I know you like right angles-- and you then make a border you can hold up in the shape of a square, and you use it to sight down whatever you're drawing from life so it fits within the grid. It's supposed to help keep things to scale. Neat, right?"

Quietly: "I love right angles..."

He considers this concept for a few moments, then takes his personal datapad out and quickly opens the drawing app with a grid preselected on it. Ratchet does a quick, simple drawing of Velocity's face with a silly expression and beams delightedly. He turns it around for her to see.

"You're right!" This is a revelation. "I can't believe I never thought of this before!"

Velocity beams, just that little bit more at ease now that she's made Ratchet happy. "I picked that one up from Nautica back back home, she was always telling me things like that. Wait till you get me talking about some of the other things she told me, like how a lot of artists who work with super duper small details work between beats of their fuel pumps like snipers do. It's so interesting!"
