makeup (lakemura)

"...I miss makeup."

Barb glances at her sideways. Her ears are low, and her green eyes are tired as they glow toward the setting sun.

"Oh. I'm sorry." Silence. "I... was never much good at that. Good hands for doctor's work, not so much for my face."

Nomura's mouth twitches up in a small smile. Her face is no less sad.

Barb considers. Puts her hand over Nomura's long fingers. Hears a slow breath out. "Maybe you can teach me?"

Silence again.

"Yeah. I'd like that."
