Bryony and Zacharias
"I'm an apprentice to Braith Whitehead," Bryony explained. "She's an artist, so I work with her in her studio and learn different techniques and enchantments, as well as practising the drawing and painting and so on. I've only been with her for about a year, a little less." She could have gone on, about how much she still had to learn, and how excited she was, now that she was coming up to a year, to get to actually enchanting paintings to move. But her parents had always told her she should listen more than she spoke - because who would be really interested in what she had to say? "What do you do?" she asked.
Bryony gave a smile back when he seemed not dismissive of her baking. It wasn't something she thought of as a male activity, but she did know Dean could bake and sometimes brought things in to the studio. "I made some spiced buns for Easter," she said remembering. "They came out very nicely, but I missed the opportunity to decorate them. "I want to try bread next, even though I know that isn't very decorative either."
