The feedback from Captain Rivington exposed a serious flaw.
Ves invested his time to craft several totems in the form of decent-sized statues in Lufa's likeness.
During the creation process, he constantly had the tranquil design spirit in mind, which meant that the finished products all possessed weak spiritual foundations that were nonetheless capable of holding a design spirit.
He thought that he created a way to encourage the refugees to let go of their past bonds and consider joining up with the Larkinson Clan.
Yet throughout this entire process, Ves never questioned the basic assumption of whether his target audience would even like his statue!
In any other state, Ves was extremely confident that his artistic abilities would be able to win the appreciation of the locals.
