More than a Cog

Ves listened from the side as Gloriana briefly tried to convert as many people to her design philosophy as possible.

Oh sure, she started to address craftsmanship more in the latter half of her lecture, but he still found her story to be a bit too self-centered.

It was as if his wife was more interested in building up her image than actually expounding about craftsmanship.

"Oh well."

She at least kept her story interesting. The time pressure helped a lot. With only fifteen minutes of speaking time, she had to toss away a lot of elements that weren't as interesting.

Ves even agreed on a lot of her points. This was not a coincidence as he and his wife frequently held discussions about their work.

On top of that, they also shared their thoughts more directly with each other whenever they utilized a design network.

Because of this, they contaminated each other's design philosophies and partially converged towards each other.
