Neo watches as Cale's stoic face slowly melts into a smile the more he is immersed in his drawing.

He had heard that the Henituse eldest young master was interested in drawing, but he didn't expect the other to be this good at drawing.

Neo took a cookie and bite it,

Ah... It's really sweet,

It was sweeter than the sweets he was used to having.

"Do you like them?"

Neo glanced at where the other noble was at. Cale's eyes were stuck onto the canvas, but it seemed like he was still aware of his surroundings.

"Yea," Neo answered him, "You're really good at drawing,"

"Thank you,"

"Who is the person in the drawing?"

Cale's hand stopped moving; and Neo noticed the pause and the frown on the red headed brows. He wondered if he accidently landed on a sore spot.

"Ah, you don't have to answer..."

"No..." Cale mumbled, continuing his sketch

"Huh?"

  Neo saw how Cale started to sketch out the person's face with finer detail. He, for one, had never seen anyone that looked like that before. And the features that person had, he doesn't seem like he was from Roan.

At least not from the Northern part of Roan.

"It's... someone I know"

"I see..."

Neo didn't probe any further, he was lucky enough the young master hadn't lash out for him accidentally crossing the line. Only lord knows the consequences if he did.

. . .

"Who is the person in the drawing?"

Cale couldn't help but be startled at the sudden question, he instinctively stop his hand and frowned

Who?

Why does he want to know?

"Ah, you don't have to answer..."

He sounded flustered, was he interested in his Hyung?

"No..." Cale mumbled, continuing his sketch.

It would be bad if he jumped to conclusions and accidently lash out, it's better to dig deeper first.

"Huh?"

"It's... someone I know" Was all that Cale said to answer Neo's question,

Why should he give Info about his Hyung to someone else?

"I see..."

Ah...

He should bring this young master's attention to something else. Diverting his attention to something that isn't his Hyung.

  Cale wrecked his brains to try to remember all the information he had on Neo Tolz. It was unfortunate that he was not that well known, so not much information was on him.

"Neo, I have heard...a rather interesting rumor," Cale started, "It said that you were interested in sewing?"

In the mention, Neo's hand twitches as if he was nervous about something. "What do you mean?"

"I meant what I said,"

"Why.. would I be interested in such a feminine hobby?" Neo laughed out a reply, "Those rumor's are starting to get ridiculous"
