"My heroes, though not, I have to admit, my mentors," Lucinda says. "I'm mostly self-taught, though I did get to meet Leonora Carrington a few years ago, before she died. Her, Remedios Varo, Frida Kahlo: unconventional women who thrived after a horrible war. Well, thrived as much as they were allowed to. That's all we can hope for, I guess." She studies Frida for a moment. "Elton has told me about you. I'm happy to teach what I know, which is more than just mixing paint. No one is allowed to just be an artist these days."

Lucinda is talking art history with Elton.
She appears lost in thought when you arrive, but you soon realize that it's not her macramé Death Star (?) that's drawn her intense focus, but the recent past.
"What happened that final night?" she wonders. "I mean, really. What happened to the Broad Brook Caern? Maybe it's literally impossible for me to know. You see the spirit world, Matulo, and I don't. But I still want answers. I want to know how the Three Families and the Garou, who thrived for centuries, collapsed almost overnight."
"That isn't why I came here but…you're right. It's like an itch, isn't it? Trying to figure out what happened."
"I came here to destroy the agents of the Wyrm, not to sleuth around town with a big magnifying glass."
"I don't actually need humans telling me what to do, Lucinda. The Three Families failed, remember?"
"If you can teach me enough to stay alive and pay for heat, I'll research whatever you want."
