"Yeah, not sure where it will end up but it certainly isn't getting sold," he said and gave a little shrug. He wanted to see the portrait regularly, but perhaps not quite all the time.
Dean wrinkled his nose a little, the conversation which had brought that about had been a little tense, at least as far as Dean was concerned. "I'm not sure she doesn't still feel that way, but she also sees a business opportunity so when we were said we were already selling to Muggles..." he shrugged, gesturing to mean 'she went along with it'.
He stuck his tongue out. "Oh, you know what I mean!" he said, amused. He knew Susan hadn't actually taken offence. "Seriously, you should come, I'm sure my sisters would love to see you."
He nodded, not really following that particular raising of Susan's eyebrows. As well as he knew her did not clue him in to every micro-twitch of her face. They all meant too many things and if she didn't want to be obvious she usually wasn't.
Chuckling slightly he shrugged. "The brilliance of magic includes directional heating charms so you usually don't get too cold, but, yeah, usually still standing in a draughty room and artists aren't generally known for making their models look good for their benefit." Dean had modelled for people a few times as well as taking reference photos of himself sometimes, so he understood her issues.
"Thanks," he said, smiling. Despite his dislike for Cadmus as a person he admired his art, even if it wouldn't be what he'd choose to decorate with. "Yeah, we don't get on that well, but I have to admit to his work being both good and pretty sought after. We managed to tolerate each other in appropriate doses to get it done, and he thankfully doesn't hate it, which is helpful." Dean shrugged philosophically. He and Cadmus were never destined to be good friends but they had managed to form a truce over the years. It mostly involved them not talking unless they had to.
