Gold was a prefect, so Lexi was sure she really knew her stuff when it came to magic. "Oh, sure, Miss Laksh. Thank you. We're about to move on to actual painting, but I'm sure someone may need a little help with that," she said with a smile. Lexi gave Gold a thoughtful expression at the sound of her next question. "You know, I've never tried it on fabric-painted cloth, but since it is made with paint, it would likely work. You should give it a try and let me know what you come up with."

Alright! Paint time! he thought as he walked to the pile of aprons. He grabbed one and put it on as he walked back to his work area. Or at least he tried to. In the short walk back to his seat he managed to get himself thoroughly tangled with all the arm holes and ties.

"Right-o, I think I could use a little help here from someone," he said. Hopefully a helpful student would come to his rescue--eventually. But there was no time to lose waiting! He must get to work!

Gold nodded.

"I'll give it a try, Professor."

But, for now, she obviously had to do what they would be instructed to. Gold decided she would get out cloth and fabric paint later on, maybe tomorrow night when she would [hopefully] have less homework to tackle, and looked up, to see and hear what else Professor Carlton had to say.

Which was when she saw the kid, who was all a-tangle.

"Need any help there?" She asked politely, raising her voice a little to ensure that he would be able to hear her.


Text Cut: Instructions!
"Alright, class, it's time to move on to using actual paint. Now first, I'm going to give you a small sheet of paper to paint. I want you to paint it just one color---any color you choose---then work on charming it to flash another color," she instructed. As she talked, she levitated some paper, bottles of paint, and paint brushes around the room. The supplies divided themselves out and landed quite gracefully on the tables.

"Afterward, we're going to make actual banners with the paint and the charm, so save all your creativity for that. For now, just work on one color changing to another," she repeated. "This will give you an even bigger feel for the incantation and wand movement."

"There are aprons if the front of the room for anyone feeling as if they may need one," she said, waving a hand toward the box of aprons.

Oooh, this could get messy. Especially considering that Gold couldn't even hold a paintbrush, without causing a master mess. She looked around, green eyes bright, and realized that people had already gotten up. Well, of course. This sounded exciting.

Even though she knew she would make a huge mess.

SOO. Where was Xylon Saar when you needed him? Gold looked around again, as if he might jump out at her from behind one of the tables. As could be expected, he did not and Gold, with a little shrug, resigned herself to the fact that he might not be here. Or he probably was. He might even run in late, if he realized what this lesson bordered on. She knew he loved to paint, and even carried that Reducible Paintbox on himself.

Meego Beego, or whatever it was called. It had never interested her, to be honest. She couldn't paint to save humanity.

Sitting up straighter, she summoned an apron to herself. It was pink, the kind that Lori would have loved, and Gold mostly summoned it because it reminded her of the Fashion Brigade. Which, she sometimes felt these days, had ceased to exist. No Brody next term. But life would have to go on. So shaking the dreary thoughts off, Gold picked up a paint brush, dipped it in PINK! paint, and dabbed it on to a piece of paper.

Colorus Fulgeo Pink to Red!

Tap, point, circle, circle. The blob of paint flashed, now a bright red, and Gold tried the charm again. Red to gold. Then it was gold to pink. Pink to red. Red to gold. The cycle continued.

.... and she hadn't made a mess yet.

Shocking.

Truly shocking.
