When he left Benjamin's Roland was driven straight to Benjamin's secret town manor where he did all his painting from. He broke into his brother's wine cabinet, sat in the back of the painting room and watched Galen paint.
The room smelled of paint and heavy smoke. It also smelled of vanish and newly furnished furniture. Roland could not see any new furniture in the room. There was only a single couch by the window, the table where he was sitting and three chairs. Two were around the table and he was sitting on one of them.
The other, Galen was sitting on it unevenly, bare chested, smudges of paint in his hair, on his back and on the floor all around him. His hand moved rapidly over what looked like dark jugged mountains.
