Holding the door to Braith's section of the studio open, Bryony levitated her 12" by 17' canvas out into the communal hallway. It wasn't a huge canvas by most artist's standards, but it was the largest Bryony had ever allowed herself. She'd prepared it for paint ages ago and it had been leaning against the wall in Braith's area of the studio for weeks while Bryony dithered over what to do with it. Finally, after Mother's Day, she had the vague beginnings of an idea. Though it would be a sort of portrait, she was starting with the background and for that she needed more windows than Braith's studio allowed her access to.

Once the canvas was propped against the window, she returned to Braith's studio and retrieved a cloak which she draped over the dress form. In the months she'd been here, she'd never seen anyone use it - didn't even know who it belonged to - so she could only hope they didn't mind. Satisfied with the drape of the shoulders, she started to prepare her paints, focusing on greys and blues, with a small patch of yellow off to one side where it wouldn't be easily mixed with the others by accident.

Dean listed to Bryony, assessing the slight shift in her posture which seemed to suggest she was uncomfortable, perhaps moreso than usual and he decided to let go a bit. "Sounds good," he said, smiling as encouragingly as he could.

He shook his head softly. "No, I was trying to distract myself anyway, but it seems like I might be distracting you. I'll leave you to it," he said. "Unless you want anything, I'm heading for the Markets." He knew she was a pureblood and probably didn't have much of a connection to the Muggle world, but he loved working so close to a bustling Muggle area that he could lose himself in sometimes.

Bryony had still never been to the markets, despite how close they were, but she had seen the things that Braith or Ophelia would bring back from their trips - part of her longed to go and see all of them for herself, but she had no muggle clothes and no idea where to get them, so she was restricted to the wizarding areas of London. She couldn't even go see the galleries she'd read so much about. None of that was Dean's fault, of course, so she smiled at him for his offer. "I'm fine, but thank you for asking."

She didn't want to seem like she was sending him away, she liked having other people to talk to who knew about art and was wary of losing the opportunity to do so in future if she seemed reticent now. "I'll probably still be here when you get back. Good luck with your idea."

	Dean nodded, accepting her answer easily. He hasn't really expected her to take him up on his offer, but he would make it to anyone he liked. "Thanks, good luck with your painting. I'll see you when I get back," he said and left her to it with a little wave. "It was good thing to you." (Reply to this) (Parent)
