[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.

[eat_me_beat_me]

That's beautiful!

[i_got_this]

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

[alias_savant]

[and there's a smile in his voice]

I appreciate it, Agent Carolina.

[alias_savant]

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

[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]

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.]

[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.

action!

[alias_savant]

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

It's been a while.

[alias_savant]

[smirks]

I never pass up an excuse to look good.

[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.

[i_got_this]

I'm betting you could still pull it off in a lot less. [She pushes off the chair and pops her helmet off as means of introduction.] Agent South Dakota.

[youfallback]

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

[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?

[alias_savant]

[shrugs]

I've been keeping myself occupied enough.

[alias_savant]

[smirks a bit at that. It could, but it wouldn't feel the same.]

Neal Caffrey. Nice to meet you.

[i_got_this]

[No doubt!]Yeah, you too.

So, do you need any special pomp and circumstance or can we just head out?
