Are you happy to be back at work? Will you try sculpting from scratch or will you go with the safer choice of just painting a premade scupture?"

Ben had just finished tying the apron on himself when his colleague Laurel approached him. "I am happy, yes," he answered, "though perhaps a bit less so with the activity at hand." But he did enjoy his work here overall, far more than sitting alone in his flat for the holidays. Though he enjoyed solitude at times, it quickly melded into loneliness when the holidays rolled around.

"I am not much of an artist, but painting a premade sculpture seems the safest route to take," he continued. "And you? Will you be trying your hand at sculpting?"

It was just a feeling, a paranoia, a healthy fear that had developed during her time as a YATI so far.

Still, she didn't want to look suspicious by sulking against a wall, so... she drifted over toward the pre-made figurines and picked one up, an innocent-looking sphinx with big dull eyes. Well. Would it be more or less scary if she painted the eyeballs in, and maybe added some eyelashes? Only one way to find out... Bernie settled in and picked up a paintbrush.

Penelope could appreciate a piece of art as well as the next person. It would be difficult not to, after being around her husband Zeppelin and her daughter Ivy, who were both the more artistic types. But it also meant that creating art like this was more in their wheelhouse too, not hers.

She wasn't one to back down from a challenge though. Attempting something new didn't bother her. The reluctance came more from the fact that focusing on sculpting the clay or painting an already-made one would take away from the awareness of the rest of the room. It was second nature after so many years, but especially so after the events in recent memory. There were only Ministry employees here, so likely little chance of something like the mermaids kidnapping people happening here, but that didn't mean something else couldn't happen. Something could always happen.

So. For now, she took a spot near one of the new YATIs, who was working on a sphinx figurine. "Didn't know you were a painter, Grantham." Probably would be better than anything Penelope herself painted though.
