And the real reason was so he could change everyone elses view of the real hourglasses. But he wasn't going to tell this kid that. He would probably laugh at him, and it was supposed to be a thing on the sly. Something he'd probably put in place when everyone else was asleep in the castle. If he could get from the tower down to here, that was.
"I've actually drawn all four houses different to what they are right now." Roo smiled and pointed out the differences in all four. "It's just that the difference in the Ravenclaw hourglass is greater than the others. That's why your attention is drawn to it."
Oooh, okay. Carl found the reason unusual but not completely strange. Maybe the boy liked hourglasses and drew them because they made good subjects. Like, he had a friend who liked sketching trees. She was a great artist too, otherwise he would have found her weird.
He nodded at the Ravenclaw's explanation, his eyes moving from hourglass to hourglass. "Yes, that's right!" Carl could have pointed out the differences in the other hourglasses but he chose to talk about Ravenclaw because the change was more obvious. He watched the older boy fill the paper, then asked, "Do you need help with anything? I could like, sharpen your color pencils or something. I am good at that." More nods. He wanted to contribute to this drawing, but at the same time not ruin it.
