Aurel turned the sketchbook around to show Lucien and Faolan what he was drawing. 

[color=#a7d3d4]"You know.. der freunds.. I don't know how to say it in English.. Um.. I was trying to draw the two of you, but I wasn't sure if I should draw you holding hands or not."[/color] He said, pointing to his drawing. The brown striped snake around his shoulder slithered a little downward, as if trying to see the picture, and had looked upon the two men with what could almost be identified as an amused look, if one paid enough attention. 

Lucien panicked for a moment, unsure of what to tell the boy, he could see Faolan had mouthed a 'what did you tell him,' to him, but he had no response to that. He knew how concerned Faolan was with Aurel finding out, so he hadn't dropped any hints.. or.. anything.. that could have possibly given the child that idea.. or had he? Aurel was a pretty observant child.. but he hadn't known that it was to this extent. He cleared his throat.

[color=burlywood]"Erm.. what makes you say that?"[/color] He asked him, straightening out a little as he avoided looking in Faolan's direction. He certainly hoped this wasn't his fault.

[color=#a7d3d4]"Oh well, my snakes said so. Were they wrong? My snake said he saw you kissing."[/color] He said, tilting his head a little, the snake mimicking his motion.
