— I see, thank you for your opinion, — replied Ixora, — by the way... Stella mentioned that she listened to your record. How did you like the music of our director?

Layla wanted to say that she also really liked Ixora's painting, just in case it wasn't clear from her reaction and words earlier, but it was difficult to do so without it sounding like a "consoling" compliment. Perhaps she should have described her opinion of each painting in more detail from the beginning. Still, there was something majestic about this proud fortress and towers, proudly rising above the harsh and unforgiving desert. Or the cliff with a statue of some kind of bird in the distance, not the main detail, but a memorable one in the design.
— Well, it's always nice to chat about such topics. And I also happened to get the honorable position of a judge, haha! So if you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask. And I myself have a couple of questions. For example, it would be interesting to hear about the sources of inspiration for "Citadel" sometime, — Layla smiled in response. — As for the record, I really liked it. Thank you very much for such a gift! To be honest, I would like you to listen to it yourself, but I haven't discussed this with Stella yet. But I would be very happy if you joined us.
