Thornton simply laughed at Nowell and his immediate reaction to the idea of paint on skin. "A friend of mine at school has edible paints," he added, wondering if it would weird out the younger boy just as it had confused Thornton the first time. It wasn't mean-spirited, the jesting, but it was somehow a bit... enjoyable.

Dabbing some white into the sky of his painting to mimic the clouds that were full in the sky, he glanced at Nowell again. "Thank you." He returned to his canvas, letting the siblings banter and idly wondering how they would get along with his friends. They'd be visiting soon.

He simply nodded at Addie's response, his focus still on his art. "You're welcome. She's probably with Mairwen upstairs."
