Not want to make me uncomfortable? Bit too late for that.. he thought to himself. He wasn't one to go cheating on people if he was in a relationship, that was the reason he's brought Dominique up. He stepped back from Ryan to put a little more distance between them, snorting at his next comment.
"You never know, it might be some code word" he shrugged a shoulder, a lot of his flirtiness gone out the window now since Ryan seemed to taken aback by the teasing question on the 'girlfriend'. "Oh, I'm not really uncomfortable" anymore.. he said smiling slightly, keeping the last bit as a thought, "I was just asking a question, but.." he trailed off and was quiet for a moment before speaking up again. "If you want the neck rub though, I'll give you one it's not that big of a deal" he shifted his art box between hands glancing back over at the wall where the room of requirement usually showed up before looking back at Ryan.

Ryan just watched him for a few moments. Toby had informed him that Gale was a huge flirt, but he didn’t really see any of that now. Possibly the Hufflepuff was just not attracted to him. Well, fine. He’d still play nice, not wanting to get in the middle of anything. His loyalties would always be with Toby if anything happened, but he wanted to try and make friends. At least he wasn’t forced to be nice about Josh. Every time he was confronted with the other he just wanted to punch his face in.
”Naw, it’s okay. My neck is fine.” Their conversation had suddenly turned bland, the Slytherin wondering what on earth he could say. Somehow he doubted that saying Hey, Toby told me you’re pretty hot in the sack would make too good an impression. Unless he was trying to be mean or rile him up, neither of which he was. ”I just like going outside, into the Forest and spot birds. Makes me feel almost as peaceful as art. I drew some birds, if you want to see some of my work.” Back to a safe topic. It was better than discussing Dominique, that much was sure. He honestly didn’t know how to go about this situation.

Well that didn’t go well. Gale bringing up the girlfriend wasn’t a good idea, but it was out there now, and Ryan wasn’t too pleased to talk about his girlfriend. Generally Gale wouldn’t bring those kinds of things up but he figured he would pry a little to see where that whole relationship stood so Gale could make a decision. Cheating wasn’t good in his eyes, it made the person untrustworthy. He may be living in a bubble but at least he’d be less inclined to get screwed over by being the other guy or cheating on someone he was dating with this mindset.
Art.. course it would go back there. Gale nodded in reply when Ryan suggested showing some artwork of his. A smile popped back up on Gale’s face, making him less moody almost instantly. ”Sure.. do you have it with you?” Magical animals really bothered Gale on so many levels, but at least these were drawings and not the real things. Ryan was nice, flirty and a little odd sometimes but Gale liked him well enough. Hopefully they could chat a little more before going separate ways.

”Yeah, I do” Ryan smiled, taking the sketchbook out of his bag and giving it to Gale. In it weren’t just birds, there were other kinds of animals as well. One picture he was particularly proud of was of a small bird, sitting on a branch, about to take flight. He had sketched it in a few quick motions, but it captured the way the animal was about to take off.
Aside from animals, he had a fair few drawings of people. Toby, of course, since he couldn’t resist sketching the Gryffindors fine features now and again. Then there were some of Acia, his favorite girl in all of Hogwarts, aside with random sketches that he’d done in class. He always brought his book with him, not only because he was paranoid of leaving it behind, also because inspiration struck at the oddest moments. Plus, some classes could get infinitely boring and sketching his classmates was a whole of a lot better than paying attention.
He couldn’t help but grin when Gale turned a page, knowing that he’d soon find a sketch of himself in there. A little doodle, the boy looking positively bored in class. It had been fun drawing him, though he was definitely not the only boy in there. They were all pretty though, the ones he had sketched. His little seal of approval.

Flipping the pages slowly, Gale had a little grin on his face. Ry had talent in his sketchy drawings. When he got to the small bird taking off he tilted it a few different ways "I really like this one.." he murmured, glancing over at Ryan. It was really good with minimal strokes to the page. Detailed drawings were good for somethings but this would have looked too cluttered if it was more than what was on the page.
He laughed softly when he saw a few Toby sketches, he'd missed Toby. He hadn't seen him for a while. "You're good with portraits too" he complimented, only a few things jumped out at Gale since he'd had some life drawing classes. He stopped when he got to one of himself and he chuckled again "Nice.." he said turning the sketchbook around to hold it up next to his own face. He missed his longer hair, he definitely was going to grow it back out that length.
He flipped through the rest of the pages until he got to blank ones before closing it and handing it back to Ryan. He dug around in his bag at his hip to find his less embarrassing one ”Want to look through mine? It’s mostly just drawings of my family back home and a few people here..” he didn’t want to show him the on that he’d kept before school started. It contained mostly innocent sketches of people and places but then the last half contained a lot of nude drawings of a certain person and that he wasn’t about to share with anyone.

”Sure” Ryan took the sketchbook, having smiled at the compliments. He rather liked Gale with the longer hair and had chuckled softly when the boy held the drawing up next to his face, as if he was wondering how much they looked alike. He had to admit, for a sketch it wasn’t bad, but he could do better. Flipping the book open he took in the details, glancing at faces that he hadn’t seen before. His family, he assumed. The drawings were good, but he had no reference material to connect it with.
Flipping pages, he saw Gale’s version of Toby, which made him smile again. It was interesting to see the differences between drawing styles, and he looked at the page for a good long while, comparing his drawing mentally to the one in front of him. Then, turning the page, he looked at a familiar face. Jasper Cole.
Though he had never really talked to the boy, he knew how much Toby loathed him. It was interesting, that Gale had been drawing him, had apparently seen enough of him to be able to draw the face in such detail. ”Jasper Cole, huh?” Definitely intriguing. He wondered how dear Toby would deal with the fact that his friend at least liked that Ravenclaw.

He grinned a little when Ryan took the sketchbook to look through. He would have to flip quite a few pages before he got to anyone he recognized but Gale was sure he knew just about everyone in the back of the book. When he got to the page with Toby on it, he couldn’t help remembering the day he had tried to make Toby sit still long enough to draw him without Toby wanting to see every five seconds.
Then Jasper came up. There were more drawings of Jasper the longer Ryan flipped through the book, some of him half naked and suddenly Gale couldn’t remember if he’d sketched the entirely naked picture of Jasper in this book or another one. He blushed slightly when Ryan commented on whom the drawings were of.
”Yeah, Jas..per” he used the nickname for him before adding the last part of his name. He hadn’t told Toby yet of his like for the older Ravenclaw. He knew Toby hated Jasper and the feelings were mutual the other way around, why though, Gale wasn’t sure. He just figured he’d tell Toby when there was something to tell him, like if he and Jasper ever declared themselves boyfriends. Toby never told him all of his little rendezvous with guys or girls so there wasn’t really a reason that Gale had to tell Toby about his sex life, right?
