Luca started to relax as Garrett talked to him very calmly, with explanations that made him feel a little better. His eyes drifted down towards the slightly damp carpet as he considered the idea that messes weren't necessarily bad. It felt familiar. He was sure his family had told him similar things when he was little, and had helped him clean up instead of yelling at him for dropping things on accident. It was just, the times where he'd been yelled at and punished had covered it over, like putting paint on Watson's house. Maybe, some day, the fear would wash way like it had off the carpet.
His attention floated back towards Garrett as the man kept talking, in a happier, more excited tone, and he watched the paintbrush moving in the older man's hand as he listened. ". . . Forensic . . . research?" It wasn't a term he'd heard very often, and he wasn't sure if he knew exactly what it meant, but he could understand the general idea. Like science experiments, lots of them. "I can help?"
Evelyn made a face at the idea of so much mess, and just very calmly and carefully started to paint her side of the house, working neatly from top to bottom. "That sounds like a nightmare." She murmured, but with humor in her voice. "It can be fun, sometimes, making a mess." She paused, considering, and gave Luca a little smile. "When we're done painting the house, we should put our handprints on the roof. Like an artist's autograph." Making messes on purpose could, theoretically, be a sort of therapy for Luca, so he wouldn't be so worried about the idea of potentially doing 'bad'.
