Elain's gaze remained on Rafelius as he strode through the hall. He was stopped by a few people trying to speak with him.
Her eyes narrowed slightly.
So he had decided to make an appearance at last?
As if noticing her stare, he turned his head to meet her eyes.
She averted her gaze.
"…I know you might be uncomfortable at first, but I assure you, joining my art studio would be fun! You know Master Jesse? He will give lessons! It's good to socialize with like-minded people who love art." Lady Lucresia smiled brightly, not noticing that Elain wasn't entirely attentive.
Elain didn't want to offend the lady, so she returned the smile. "That is indeed enticing, milady. I shall think about it. As you know, I'm often required to stay at home due to my poor health."
Lucresia's expression turned considerate.
"I'm planning to have one session a week. Do you think that would be too taxing for you? If it is, you can just attend twice a month. Even just once a month will do!"
