Elias huffed, a smile coming out despite his resistance. "Begging to show my art? I think you underestimate my own stubbornness," he chuckled. "You know I never show anyone. You're the first besides my own nephew who has been in the studio for years," he admitted, perhaps revealing more than he needed to right now. He'd turned serious though despite the playful smile still ghosting over his face. "But I thank you for restraining your desires for breaking and entering. Now, will you grab those last two easels for me? Do you have time to go anywhere for lunch or do you have work to get back to?" Raising one eyebrow in question, he turned to Barrett while easily swinging the drying canvas up from the wall it leaned against, holding it by an unpainted corner though he didn't mind if the paint smudged. Normally he just painted these things white again to use the next class or thew them away, but he was considering keeping this one. Even if acrylics weren't his normal paint of choice.
