[It's Art Time with Neal Caffrey again, castle. He's bored out of his mind, so he's taken to sketching something in the journal. It doesn't seem like much at first, but eventually it will start to take the shape of this.

He was always a little partial to Degas.

He gets about halfway through, before there's a small frustrated noise and he scribbles a quick filter.]

[dictated - people who can take him outside]

Is there a chance that any of you are up for a walk?

[Neal is feeling a bit restless]

I'll meet you in the lobby, Mr. Caffrey.

[alias_savant]

[and there's a smile in his voice]

I appreciate it, Agent Carolina.

action?

[youfallback]

[Carolina's not long to the lobby, wearing some neutrally-colored civvies, more to blend in than anything. This is meant to be his time out, not hers, after all. Needless to say, though, she does really enjoy his company.]

action!

[alias_savant]

[glances up when he sees her with a smile, dressed in his usual suit]

It's been a while.

[youfallback]

Too long. [Greeting him with a slight smirk.] Been busy?

[alias_savant]

[shrugs]

I've been keeping myself occupied enough.

[youfallback]

I like the painting; you're very gifted, Mr. Caffrey.

[alias_savant]

Thank you. I've had a lot of practice.

[youfallback]

Helps keep from being stir crazy. Glad I could help get you out of the Castle.

[And heading down the front steps!]

[eat_me_beat_me]

That's beautiful!

[alias_savant]

Thank you. Though I can't take all the credit. It was Degas' first.

[eat_me_beat_me]

Yeah but it's not like just anyone can replicate it like that. I mean, I'm an artist but I'm not that good.

[alias_savant]

I've had a lot of practice.

[eat_me_beat_me]

Yeah? How many years'd it take you to get that good?

[alias_savant]

Ooh.

[a pause as he thinks that over]

Ten years, or so? I liked to draw when I was a kid, but I didn't really focus until I moved to New York.

[eat_me_beat_me]

Ten years? Wow, I hope I'm half as good as that in 10 years.

[alias_savant]

How long have you been drawing?

[i_got_this]

Yeah? Where? [He had told her Military, and that she is.]

[alias_savant]

Anywhere that isn't indoors? I need a change of scenery.

[he's going a little stir crazy.]

[i_got_this]

Sure, I can do that. Meet in lobby? [She's thinking about a tavern in town that has an outdoor seating area.]

[alias_savant]

[that sounds perfect]

I'll be there. Thank you.

[i_got_this]

Yeah. See ya. [Little does he know she's expecting him to pay.]

[She'll be in the lobby in armor, lounging in one of the plush chairs.]

[alias_savant]

[and he'll wander down, hands in the pockets of his suit, looking for his walking buddy.]

[i_got_this]

[Looking him over with a slight tilt of her helmet without otherwise moving from her seat. Is this the guy, and if so, was he fucking serious?] Aren't you a little overdressed?

[Says the girl in full futuristic body armor]

[alias_savant]

[smirks]

I never pass up an excuse to look good.
