Abstraction

Goran's exclamation drew the attention of the twins. Once they noticed the three new faces, the two cautiously retreated behind Markus and peeked out from behind his legs.

"Little Boy. Did you paint this?" Goran asked with some excitement as well as mild amusement.

Kano looked up at Markus, who returned a smile and said, "That is Jean Rasmus. She is Master's newest student. This Sir is her father, Goran Rasmus."

Kano nodded in affirmation and spoke with a low hum, "It's Smaug..."

Goran started approaching the painting and inspected it more closely.

"It's weird... It doesn't capture the exact facade of a Red Dragon, however, everything about it tells me that it is. The colour tones, the shapes, the aura..." The man commented, to which Kano frowned.

"It isn't a Red Dragon! It's Smaug?!" Kano retorted as he slowly left Markus.

"What species is the dragon?" Goran replied without diverting his attention from the painting.
