[b][i] – Leroy[/i][/b]

Leroy laughed when he heard Oona nod, [b]"Probably, kind of funny that we managed to destroy the school in just 2 days."[/b] Agree with her he said, “It’s hilarious! And for me it was just my first and only day at Athalia Academy. Move in, school gets destroyed. I got to stay a little more after that with everyone else, but it was a little boring with everyone just talking about the same thing over and over again.” He laughed again as Oona thought of a reason why they were actually taking so long. “That’s true, maybe that’s the reason! Makes you wonder how the school’s been operating for so long at all doesn’t it?”

“Aah, a selkie? Heard about those before, although only in passing.” Leroy said. Then staring at the box Oona patted he asked, “Wait, a piece of the creature. So you carry bits of fish flesh in that box?” He wasn’t being very careful with his words, but that was on purpose. He wanted to see just how far he could go and what sort of things Oona was not willing to go along with, but without being too rude and completely drawing a line between them.

Then looking back at his own painting he answered, “Just at home, on my own. Proud self-taught artist.” Leroy smiled, pointing at himself with his thumb with a sense of pride. “Art was the only thing I was interested in, so I practiced a lot. It’s a cliché saying, but it’s true that practice is the best way to ‘learn’ art.”

Walking over to the easel, he took a better look at his work. “I think it’s dried enough to be transported now. Oh, but don’t touch it until tomorrow or you’ll smudge the paint. It’s not [i]fully[/i] dried yet.” Lifting the painting off the easel, he held it out to Oona. “Can you hold this for a sec? I just wanna get all my stuff back into my bag before I carry that over to the student houses.”
