"[color=MediumSeaGreen][i]No need to apologize Jane,[/i][/color]" he responded with an sincere smile. "[color=MediumSeaGreen][i]His words carry little to no substance that might offend me. Though often I wounder what he dislikes about me so.[/i][/color]" Jacob had wrote this off as a phase a few months ago, but now he couldn't help but wounder if there was more to it. His student had gifts and talents, not to mention the means to let the blossom into full beauty. With his family's money and Jane and Mary standing by his side he could really be something. But he resorted to hiding behind a camera. What was that boy thinking?

With great relief he watched the man get dressed. He was quite the odd fella. What kind of artist needed that much muscle? Perhaps a sculpture, or a muralist. Maybe he was a contemporary artist who worked with metal. Hearing him speak for the first time made him all the more odd. Polite and well spoken the man was a walking pinnacle of virtue. An executor from the church? That would be the day. "[color=MediumSeaGreen][i]As I said, think nothing of it, but talking to him would likely be for the best.[/i][/color]"

After he left Jacob gestured the two ladies over to the corner of the room, with the hopes that they could talk in whispers to not be overheard by the others. "[color=MediumSeaGreen][i]I don't have much time, but I have to ask. Has he been keeping up with his studies? Eating and sleeping well? I hope he hasn't been any more of a trial for you girls. I'm all for him expressing himself and taking his own path, but that doesn't mean he has to drag you through the mud as well.[/i][/color]"
