James felt completely stupid as he sat there listening to this clearly muggleborn man. “I've never been to the muggle world before.” He said like he was ashamed of the fact.. which, in truth, he was.
He chuckled lightly at the image of Leo as a little boy being chased by his sister. “Do you get on with her as an adult?” He asked with interest. Living in a completely magical household had it's positives as well as it's negatives. “I woke up with a pair of goats horns once.” He said softly and laughed awkwardly. “My brother thought it would be funny.” Which it was, to him; but to James it had been a rather traumatic experience. Kids could be cruel. He reached out for his cup of hot herbal tea and took a small sip.
He had to smile when the man grinned and pointed at him. Ay por? What was that? Spanish? Just a slip apparently. He listened to Leo's guidance and took a breath, closing his eyes and imagining what was being described to him. Yellow.. he needed yellow paint. He picked up the tube and squirted it onto the canvas, then proceeded to smear it with is fingers into a spidery shape. It felt strangely satisfying. “It's abstract.” He said. Obviously. “Because I'm not good with detail.” Next colours – red and white. On the colours were slapped which mixed on the canvas to make a nice bright pink against the soft yellow. He looked at Leo - was it okay what he was doing?
Cowboy! "Yes!" Leo smiled and nodded, picking on his lasagna, smirking at the man's expression.
Leo was balancing on the back legs of the chair, but he stared at James when he shared that he hadn't been to the muggle world. Caramba... Quite surprised over this notion, he forgot to keep balancing and the chair went down loudly on its front legs again. Brow furrowed, he didn't move his eyes from the young man. "Never?" he asked curiously, his voice soft as to not sound too harsh. "Well..." Leo shrugged and kept his shoulders up for a moment, gesturing with the other hand, "We'll have to change that." Like really, this man needed to see what was out there. How come, in all his years, he had never been to other places?
James was quite shy...maybe that was the reason? Hm... It was curious... "You know...as a Department Head, I need to go up to the telephone booth and check that it's working," total lie, "You mind accompanying me? I could use the help." He asked, expectantly. Was that sticking your nose into what didn't concern you? Heh. "Yes, I do get on with her well. She's my baby sister..." He smiled. But the smile turned into a wincing. "Ay...that must have been quite a surprise." And a cruel one. "What did you do in return? Turn him into a cat?" Hehehe. Oh, he hoped it was gooooooood.
The way James was taking it all in made Leo keep quiet, not wanting to disturb the man. He watched the canvas suddenly coming to life with all the colors he was going to have on it. Hm? Abstract, yes yes. Leo nodded in an understanding way. "Mhm." Let the imagination run loose. "That's good...let's the audience make their own mind about what they see." Clever. He noticed the look James was giving him. Um....oh, encouragement! "You're doing great, James." He scratched his stubbled chin. "It's quite interesting." Picking up the fork, Leo proceeded to shovel a big piece of lasagna into his mouth. It went down quite well. Delish! "I find painting to be quite therapeutical." He nodded, swallowing his food. "Don't you think?" |
