Leo paced slowly behind his desk. "I need you to get me painting things."
A pause. "Painting... things, sir?"
"Colors. Canvas. Brushes." He waved a hand vaguely, though no one could see. "Whatever people use when they paint."
Assistant 5's voice perked up with understanding. "Ah! You mean painting tools and materials, sir? Easels, paints, brushes, canvases, that sort of thing?"
"Yes." Leo stopped pacing. "That. Get me high quality ones. The best available."
"Absolutely, sir. Any particular type of paint? Oil? Acrylic? Watercolor?"
Leo frowned. He hadn't thought that far. "All of them."
"...All of them, sir?"
"Yes. And instruction books. Whatever beginners need."
Another pause, longer this time. Then, carefully: "Sir... are you planning to paint?"
Leo's jaw tightened. "Is that a problem?"
