Elias eyed Barrett for a moment, silent, and his face unreadable. He almost had forgotten about the promise, along with the other's existence. Or at least he could say he kidded himself into believe that it was a moment in the past, never to be fulfilled. He didn't expect Barrett to keep bothering him. After a second, Elias sighed. "No, we couldn't have me forgetting. You're much too trouble for that."

Smiling a bit, he dipped his brush in the clean water cup before tapping it in the direction of his sample painting. "You enjoy art that much? Somehow it doesn't seem to suit a computer person like you. Most just have a passing interest especially if they have no interest in painting themselves." He paused, raising one eyebrow at Barrett to challenge him one second in case he might have a change of heart. "But I suppose if you'd like, I can show you more of that process called art."
