" Yes... It was stupid of you... "

Rahmu couldnt help the smile that came to his lips as he listened to Alex. He didnt let it show through in his tone though as he sighed softly and looked over his shoulder towards his cluttered studio. "Is it about the offer I made earlier?" He hoped that by Alex calling, it meant he was going to accept, not that he was going to reject the offer completely. Somehow he doubted such a shy boy would go to the effort to call simply to reject a suggestion, but you never really could be sure.

"Y.. Yes... I think I would like it.. but I'll have to ask my mother if it's okay.. But... Is it still there?... "
Alexander asked.
" I ... I know a lot of japanese things.. but I've never tried to act upon it... so.. I.. "

Rahmu nodded, though of course Alex couldnt see it and said in his polite voice, "Of course. I dont mind waiting until your mother approves. If you want, you could even bring her with you to my studio and I'll give you both a tour. If that would help put both your minds at ease, I have no problem doing it." He smiled and turned back to the receiver, pushing away from the wall. "And no, if you're worried about troubling me, it's really no inconvenience at all. So...what would you like to do Alexander?"
(isnt he just so considerate of others? you'd think he's a really goody goody, wouldnt you? xD)

Alexander sighed relieved.
" That would be great indeed.... I'm at Kendo training now bbbut I'm going to go home in a moment.... I'll come soon after that... is that okay....?"
HE was starting to get more relaxed and feeling at ease.
(nooo.. how do you think that XD .. it's really nto bad for alex though..")

(he's not a total goody goody, but much of the time he acts that way. He was raised to be a good person.)
Rahmu smiled and said, "Sure, that would be fine. I'll just be working on something for the time being and you can just ring the doorbell when you get here. My studio is actually my home, so dont be surprised if it doesnt really look like an art studio from the outside." He let out a chuckle and readied himself to hang out the phone once he was sure Alex had everything straight in his head. You had to be patient with children, otherwise working with them would be quite difficult. It was fortunate Rahmu had a vast amount of patience, being an artist and all.

" Okay then... I won't be too long then... I... Guess I'll see you later then..."
Alexander said and hung up the phone, he was somewhat nervous now knowing he was about to see the man he had only met that day.
He went back to home and changed clothing, then he talked to his mother and started to prepare to leave to Ramuh.
(actually he has a for of Autismn... (i dont exactly know how to spell it) so he he has trouble with new situations and new people... I have a lighter form myself, just like ive put in alex it makes a lot of interesting situations^^)

(ah, I see. I have a nephew that has some light form of Autism, we believe. He learns slower, has speech difficulty, and doesnt adapt well to change. He needs constant structure to be able to focus properly otherwise he kinda freaks out mentally ^^ I also helped out with the MI students in middle school and high school, so it's not too difficult for me to grasp the concept)
Rahmu hung up the phone gently and turned to go back to what he was doing while he waited for Alexander's arrival. He wondered how well the idea would go over with the boy's mother, considering she allowed a young boy to work alone in a library during the summer. He hoped their lessons together would give him more insight into Alex's personality, and also possibly give him a new outlet for his creativity when he was alone as seemed to be quite often.

After a short while Alexander left with his mother to Ramuh.
When they arrived at the house His mother rang the doorbell.
" Are you sure Alexander?"
He nodded.
" Yes.. I think so.. But I'm glad you're here too"
His mother smiled
" That's what I'm here for."

Rahmu had just finished getting the studio room ready for Alexander and was brewing some tea when the doorbell rang. He hadnt thought to take off his artist apron and answered the door looking like the artist he was, hair tied up and all. He smiled politely at the woman standing with the blond boy on his doorstep and said, "Ah, I'm so glad you found it alright. Though I was expecting your mother to chaperon you, not your older sister." He held out his hand to the boy's mother in greeting but rather than shake it, bent over it and planted a kiss on top of it. If anyone had thought Rahmu would act like a man of the present, they were sorely mistaking him for some other man.
Stepping aside and opening the door wider, he released the woman's hand to let them in. "Please, come inside both of you. I just started brewing tea, if you'd like a cup there's plenty to go around." He stood holding the door, waiting to shut it once his guests were in.

The woman wasn't impressed by the greeting and actually didnt like it that much, They walked inside.
"It helped that you mentioned that it is a normal houce "
Alex said.
"So youre the man Alexander talked about... I expected someone more.. proper... "
Alex looked a bit way, but was curous enough to look around the room.

Rahmu immediately fel embarrassed for his attempt for flattery, having thought it might impress the woman and put her at ease. Recomposing himself, he closed the door and glanced over at Alex before facing his mother. Clearly she was a strict parent, and it was going to take some work he could tell, to get her to consent to painting lessons. "This isnt how I normally dress out in public, ma'am. I've been working in my studio most of the day. I'm sorry my appearance troubles you." He smiled politely at her and directed them to the room on the right, "Right this way please." He proceeded to lead them into the receiving room and came to a halt just outside of the sitting area, indicating the sofas and chairs, "Please have a seat while I fetch the tea. It'll only be a moment." He waited until they were seated and bowed curtly before briskly heading into the kitchen just as the pot began releasing steam.
He was glad he'd made sure to prepare three cups and carefully filled each before setting them on saucers with stir spoons, the teapot, and the sugar bowl on a tray. Once all was set, he carefully picked it up and carried it into the parlor, setting it down upon the coffee table in the middle of the sitting area. He smiled at his guests as polite and small as usual and slowly took a seat in a chair opposite from where they were across the table. "Please help yourself. Careful, it's still quite hot." He wasnt in any rush to get down to business, wanting to make sure they were both comfortable before bringing up the subject. Though he didnt partake of his own cup before his guests, having been taught otherwise by his aristocrat father.

They went into the other room and sat down.
Alex was actually thinking of how fun it could be, or how wrong it could go. Lost in thought he quietly took the teacup when offerd and took a sip.
His mother looked at him and took a teacup.
"I understand but if you have an apointment you should prepare. But verywell... I heard he met you in the libarary and that you're a tutor of some sort.. would you say more about that?"

Rahmu politely nodded at the reminder, aware the woman's criticism hadnt absolved itself from her system yet. "Yes, actually I teach art classes at the community center after school and during the summer. Private tutoring in art or basic school subjects is something I do on the side for those who might not be able to attend public classes or deal with social settings." He smiled softly and carefully took a single drink of his tea before resetting it on the table once more. He'd been teaching for two years now and been tutoring since high school, so hopefully his experience would make up for his first impression blunders.

"So you want to tutor my son in a center?"
She took a sip of the cup.
"And what exactly do you want to teach him...?"
Alex was starting to get a bit uncomfortable, he knes his mother just did this to protect him but still he didnt like it that much.
