"I have done a little but I certainly shall be unable to call myself any kind of expert!" You express and you see that he takes this as a good thing since he looks down to you with a somehow even wider beaming smile.
"Oh, miss (y/n), that is just perfection. That means that I shall be able to teach you all that I know!" He is quick to bang on the door of the studio and to lead you inside, eager to drag you towards a door that when you enter, reveals canvases and paintbrushes and paper and all sorts. "This is the studio, this is where I spend much of my time... I do not often engage in the other things that occur at Lord Granville's parties."
"I do not know of those things. I am new around here, you must recall." You smile and watch as he removes his jacket, rolling his sleeves up and smiles at you. "What is it that usually goes on at these parties then?"
"It is nothing the young lady needs to know of."
