She wasn't even wearing her school robes, though. No less a tie. So what kind of insane portraits did this school put up? The man had only stopped shouting when she'd snapped at him and threatened to cut up his portrait.
That had silenced him.
So naturally when she rounded a corner and was presented with a whole wall that was just FILLED with portraits, Olly stopped to leave right away. Especially once she noticed that there was already somebody standing there. Somebody who looked familiar. Hovering on the spot for a moment, Olly considered her options. She could either turn back around and leave (though that would seem like she was running away) or she could walk past Alexa (which might lead to the other girl engaging her in conversation). Huh.
You know that feeling you get when you could swear someone's watching you...or not watching but actually there? At first she thought she was imaging things and kept focusing on the portrait, afterall these all had eyes that followed you and one tried piercing her with it's sword. Pffft. But then she couldn't shake the feeling and besides, she heard FOOTSTEPS, portraits couldn't do.
Turning slightly she spotted her company. Oh! Olly!
"Hey you!" She said, raising her voice just a bit.
"I was just thinking this portrait could use some extra ink. What'd you think?" Lex gestured for her to come have a look at the painting in question. The figure itself didn't look very pleased but she wasn't asking it for it's opinion so what did that matter?
"I have a few colours but they're all the way back up in my dorm and the walk wouldn't be worth it."
Did Olly have any markers on her?
