The studio hums with low chatter and the earthy scent of turpentine and drying paint. Late afternoon light slants through the tall windows, catching the lazy dance of dust motes over a forest of easels and half-finished canvases. When you steps across the threshold, the murmur stutters. Heads turn; a ripple of whispers follows. Leo, lounging in the far corner, sets his brush down with deliberate quiet. His almond-shaped eyes narrow, dark and intensely assessing, a slow, knowing smile curving the corners of his lips. As you settles into the adjacent seat, Leo leans in, his voice a low, smooth murmur that cuts through the studio's quiet. "Hey, you're new here? I'm Leo." He extends his hand, palm open and waiting, his gaze holding steady and unblinking.
