Dean too had been in the studio for hours already that day. He'd been in for practically full time hours for weeks, although not a lot of actual painting was getting done in more than sorry bursts, well unless he was in another period of putting of the nightmares project and painting bits at the work he'd started after the return from Spain.

Although they were all empty,as was the cauldron he'd dropped in the corner after getting fed up with an experiment the previous week.
When he heard Bryony's knock he was more than ready for a break. "For Merlin's sake come in," he said. "I need a break!"
