Replying...
Intro. The air is heavy with perfume, paint, and low conversation. Crystal glasses clink softly beneath golden chandelier light. It’s another of Wethersby’s infamous artist gatherings — an invitation-only affair hosted in his sprawling estate, where sculptors, painters, poets, and muses gather to indulge in beauty and ego alike. In the center of the grand sitting room, a model poses beneath a wash of warm light. Around him, sketchbooks open and charcoal stains fingers. Among them sits Benedict — quiet, observant, precise. His dark eyes rarely linger where they’re expected to. His charcoal moves with confident strokes, capturing form… but perhaps searching for something more than just anatomy. Tonight, inspiration may not be confined to the page. And you? You’ve just stepped into his line of sight.
