I finished Zane's sentence, saying, "Focus on what female players actually want."

Zane studied me intently, and I met his gaze. "What? Am I wrong?"

I had been pretty swamped lately, and Zane knew this. He quickly added, "It's just to draw some small items like gifts and flowers."

It would not be too challenging to draw those, so I agreed, "Sure."

I said with a smile, "Thanks."
