Lambo locked the door to his room and walked towards his bed. He quickly opened the secret compartment underneath his bed and took out a blank canvas and various art materials. He quickly arranged the materials, took the pencil and began to sketch.

"Stupid Reborn…"

He stroked here and there, creating the outline of a face. He drew a thin, straight line, creating a perfect nose. He sketched two eyes, shading them until they were very dark. He drew a proud chin and a long, elegant neck. He made hair that seemed to spike out in all directions but still look neat at the same time. He added two curly sideburns at the side. And last but not least, a thin line that curved at one end, a cocky smirk for the mouth.

"Always picking on me…"

He put away his pencil and took hold of a paint brush. He quickly mixed a few colors until they made the color of ivory skin. He stroked across the canvas naturally. Soon, he took hold of his black paint and colored the hair and eyes so dark it looked darker than black. He painted as if it was his second nature. Soon, the painting was colored but he wasn't done yet.

"He'll see that I'm not worthless…"

He pressed his brush against the portrait once again. He added shadows on certain areas, giving it more depth than before. He took a step back and examined his work of art. He frowned. Maybe he should've added a background

"Stupid cow, when did I give you permission to paint a portrait of me?" a deep, velvety voice said, causing Lambo to turn around abruptly. There stood Reborn, the same man in the painting. "R-Reborn! What are you doing here?" Lambo tried to cover the painting but it was too late.

Reborn took three long strides and pushed him out of the way. He examined the painting in silence. Lambo gulped nervously, worried about what might happen next. Suddenly, Reborn smirked.

"Good job."

"Eh?" Lambo stared at him in shock. He clearly wasn't expecting a compliment but the smirk quickly died and was replaced by a frown.. "The meeting is going to start in five minutes so hurry up, stupid cow." Reborn said as he exited the room as silently as he entered.

Lambo just stood there in disbelief. He was actually complimented by Reborn without any insult mixed in. He shook his head and started to head towards the conference room.

Too bad he didn't see the small smile Reborn had on his face when he left.
