[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]

Hey, thanks. That means a lot. I've been trying to figure out what I should do next.

[alias_savant]

Stretch yourself. Try something you've never done before. Even if it doesn't work out perfectly, it's something you can work at.

[eat_me_beat_me]

That's a great idea, thanks. I'll just have to think of some creative ideas. Something that's artistic and might shake some people up a bit [she chuckles]

[alias_savant]

Art is always about the statement.

[eat_me_beat_me]

Yeah. And there are a hell of a lot of those that can be made around here.

[alias_savant]

Definitely. This place has a lot to say.

[eat_me_beat_me]

It does. I like taking advantage of the impermanence of everything, too. I mean, I can paint whatever the hell I want on the walls and it'll just disappear the next day. Granted, it takes away some of the fun but still, it gives a fresh canvas every day.

[alias_savant]

You should put some of it down on canvas as well. Just so you have it.

[eat_me_beat_me]

I have. Well, paper more than canvas. I use a lot of charcoal and pastel. I don't know much about the different paints so I mostly only use it when I'm doing something like the elevator walls.

But yeah, my room is filled with stuff I've drawn. I have a mural on my wall, too.

[alias_savant]

If you want to learn more about paint, I'd be willing to teach you. You could have a lot of fun with it.

[eat_me_beat_me]

Seriously?! [OMGSOEXCITE But no, going to play it cool...ish. She grins] Oh man that would be amazing! I'd love to learn more. I've kind of been trying to learn stuff from everyone I can while I'm here.

[alias_savant]

Definitely. I've been thinking of teaching a class, actually.

[eat_me_beat_me]

Oh man. I would love it! I don't know if there's anything I could show or do for you in return but I'll think of something. Oh, hey, I work at the gallery in town. If you ever want to show any of your work I can help you out.

[alias_savant]

My work is already at the gallery, actually. Jo is a good friend.

[eat_me_beat_me]

Oh well there goes that idea, then. [she laughs]

[alias_savant]

[his tone is amused, but he's still friendly about it]

We don't need to figure it out now. I'm sure we could figure something out given a little time.
