[Jan knows exactly fuck-all about the painters that Lu Li is describing. maybe Monet is a familiar name...? but the fact that Lu Li immediately switched the topic to dead guys with such aclarity means that it's something that jumps to her mind quickly and effortlessly, and Jan finds that kind of charming.]

[she'll find Lu Li some paint, she decides suddenly. she remembers reading that some oil paints last decades and decades. she bets there are still some good ones around, and painting is quiet.]
