Chapter 232

"Are you sure this painting is accurate?" I say looking to Adrian and he nods his head.

He nods his head looking considerably surprised as he quirks an eyebrow up at me.

"Why would you think it was not accurate?".

I simply shrug.

"I didn't say it wasn't accurate, I'm just asking to confirm"

"Why would you be asking such a question?" he says, amusement twinkling in his eyes and I smile internally.

I'm not ready for banter this morning.

Are we even still in the morning??.

I'm not ready for banter at whatever time of the day this might be, I am still trying to observe something from this painting.

I don't know why.

It's not like I've ever seen these people before, it's not like I've ever heard of them before, it is just that the painting looks odd to me know.

It doesn't look odd, it is very perfect but yet you can get what I'm trying to say.

There's just a feeling in me, there's just a feeling me that something is off about this painting, something is considerably off and I'm staring at their surroundings.

I'm staring at their surroundings right now.

There's always this trick that i have heard of, that if you try to observe the main theme of something from the side of your eye, the surroundings practically opens up to you.

That is what I'm trying to do now, I'm trying to observe the men in the painting from the corner of my eyes so that the surroundings, their surroundings open up to me.

Surprisingly it does not.

Well it is not surprising.

I'm guessing that wherever lunatic painted this had enough sense to consider whatever he wanted to conceal very expertly, and I know that I'm going to visit this place again, I'm going to visit to this place again when I have a better knowledge of these people.

"They look quite fine" I say and Alice practically wiggles her eyebrows at me.

She wiggles her eyebrows at me and chuckles almost like she knows what I mean by this and I find I have to smile.

Adrian is looking at the both of us, Eras has magically has found a chair for himself and is currently playing whatever he's playing on Adrian's phone.

The boy looks like a little prince, his looks like a little prince with his blonde locks falling across his face occasionally and I have to smile as I walk up to him and i flick it away.

"Would you mind if I put it in a ponytail?" I say looking at him and he shakes his head.

 "It's better if it's falls down like that, a ponytail would make me irritated".

okay, a very very direct command from someone who is five years old and I smile.

"Next portrait please" I say looking at the two people who are regarding me with amusement.

They both nod their heads and Adrian surprisingly gets Ercles up and places him on his neck.

I smile at this. I smile instinctively at this.
