In the sun room, I think.

[scarrystories]

You got it.

[understood]

Bye for now, then.

[ He'll text that list over as soon as they hang up. ]

[scarrystories]

[ Andy buys everything from the list, and then gets a cab home because he doesn't want to risk carrying an easel on the train. ]

[understood]

[ It takes a bit longer for Fraser to get home, and he's in his work clothes, as close to grubby as he ever actually gets. ]

I'm home. I brought falafel.

[scarrystories]

[ Andy's wearing lounge clothes, he runs to the door to greet him. ]

I got you all set up.

[understood]

Thank you kindly, Andy. Just give me a moment to get washed up.

[scarrystories]

Yeah, take your time.

[understood]

[ As usual, he's actually extremely efficient, emerging neat and clean in his Henley and stocking feet. ]

Hungry...?

[scarrystories]

Yeah, we can eat and then I'll show you to your studio.

[understood]

Perfect.

[scarrystories]

Would it be okay if I watched while you paint?

[understood]

If you'd like. It might not be very interesting.

[scarrystories]

I think it'd be educational and a little bit of fun.

[understood]

I suppose it might be.

[scarrystories]

I also think you're hot.

[understood]

Eat your falafel.

[ He's blushing. ]

[scarrystories]

Yes, sir.

[ He winks ;D ]

[understood]

[ Although he's sort of mutter-grumbling to himself about Andy being incorrigible, it's clear he's happy because he devours his food. ]

[scarrystories]

[ Andy eats quickly too, mostly because he's eager to go to the sun room and watch Ben paint. ]

[understood]

[ The nice thing about this meal is there are no dishes whatsoever, so they can head upstairs in no time. ]

How was your day, anyway?

[scarrystories]

It was nice. I'm teaching a guy how to do flair bar-tending, which is bold of me as I'm not even that good.

[ Andy's set stuff up the way he remembers Bob Ross was set up on TV because he has no other frame of reference. ]

[understood]

Flair bar-tending?

[ His eyebrows go up in a way that makes it clear that he's asking for a definition. But he seems satisfied with the set-up. It's not quite like Bob Ross's, because Fraser asked for watercolours and ink pens and bristol board, rather than oils or acrylics and canvas, but close enough. ]

[scarrystories]

You know, bar-tending but flashy. There's juggling involved, you've probably seen me practice.

[ He broke more than one bottle when he first picked it back up, but he's been pretty good lately. ]

[understood]

Oh, that. You're pretty good at it these days. I'm sure you'll make a fine teacher.

[ He's picking out a pencil to start sketching. ]
