[a text reply...]

??? oh, my nail polish? it's really cute right? i think it suits me especially with my symbol :3

[aubins]

[ text with lust...! ]

your... nail polish? it's just a sort of paint then?
and yes, it's very cute.

[probe]

yeah! you can get it in all kinds of colors and do fun designs for special occasions
but it's different than regular paint. it only lasts for a little while before you have to repaint them :(

[aubins]

oh that does sound cute. even if it's just for a little while, you wouldn't get bored of it when you get to presumably change colours and designs each time?

where did you get this polish?

[probe]

right! every color you can imagine is available and there's some that're really festive like colors with swirls or glitter in them! some people are really good at nail art, but I'm still practicing

i just had a few bottles laying around. i could do yours for you sometime if you want. what's your favorite color?

[aubins]

[ lust can't see this but his eyes are going w i d e r ]

predictable of me to say, but purple. similar shade to the hair, but darker is fine too. and yes, if you don't mind, i'd like that.

[ he can't emoji yet but there is an emoji in his heart and it is ✨]

[probe]

ooooh, i think i have the PERFECT color for you. maybe even a colorblock with some silver? we can try it out and see how you like it. just say when :D

[aubins]

you're the boss on this one -- whatever you think works.
honestly, whenever. my schedule is pretty much free as the wind here.

[probe]

i'm free today or whenever. i think a lot of people are still making their rounds with the other avatars anyway

[it all depends if becks wants yuri to have fabulous nails for trial.]

[aubins]

[ becks really wants yuri to have fabulous nails for trial. ]

today then, if that works. before people start monopolising all the time you could be showing me nail varnish in.

[probe]

you got it! come meet me in the rec room, we can put on a movie while we work <3

[aubins]

[ he is nyooming on his way to the rec room. fastly. ]

Does this place even have movies that aren't low key sex films? Or sponsored by chicken?

[ hi lust ]

[probe]

[nyoooom. he will find lust sitting on the floor with a few bottles of nail polish, a nail file, some polish remover and a few q-tips at their disposal. there's also what looks like a romcom on the TV.]

There's a few. You just gotta know where to look! [they look up, and this time yuri can see pink eyes staring out at him from under the hood. they look happy to see him.] Have a seat.

[aubins]

[ well he can't see naked body parts swinging yet, so this gets the seal of approval. yuri drops himself down next to them and looks at their Tool Kit, with definite curiosity. ]

Like a prize, for persistence?

[probe]

Yeah. Put in the effort, get the reward. [they hold out a hand as if asking for one of yuri's. what's the state of his nails? are they well-cared for?]

[aubins]

[ he will let them have his right hand. the nails are about as well cared for as he can keep them -- considering he's a swordfighter and has just come from the middle of a war. if he can maintain eyeshadow, i say he can maintain decent nail care. ]

Makes sense. I'll have to dig deep through cupboards if I ever decide I want to watch something myself in here.

[probe]

[good for him. he's so valid. lust is taking their nail file though and gently shaping the nails of his right hand. also for your reference this is what they're doing but without the glitter and in a purple that matches closer to his hair.]

What kind of stories do you like anyway? Pretty sure there's something in there for everybody.

[aubins]

[ he is going to be watching the process like it's the most interesting thing he's seen in a while -- because it is. ]

I'm not really sure. Most of the books I've seen around are tales of noble knights and valiant deeds and... eh. Not really my thing.

[probe]

[nailtime for yuri. yuri will also probably notice that lust's hands are smaller and very soft? they're gentle with their movements while they work.]

No heroics then. Maybe you're more of a mystery guy...or a good detective thriller?

[aubins]

[ lust your delicate hands ]

Detective?

[ ... ] A mystery wouldn't be so bad. Is the other one more to do with solving mysteries?

[probe]

Detectives do all kinds of stuff like investigate crime scenes and interrogate people and sometimes they shoot people and go on rescue missions! They work with the police a lot but sometimes they work on their own. I think detective mysteries are different than normal mysteries though because there's always an answer.

I don't mind them, but I really like unsolved mysteries, too. Like the paranormal and unexplained phenomenons and stuff.

[aubins]

So, the easy to explain and the less clean cut, and you like the more complicated one?

[ he's still watching the nail art, but he does look up and give them a small smile - a little conspiratory quirk of the lips. ]

I think I would too. Although I do like my answers, sometimes the more difficult something is to solve the more interesting it is.

[probe]

[with his nails nice and buffed they will pick up a bottle of polish and also some masking tape.]

Exactly! I think it's interesting to try to explain the unexplained. My friends and I used to go exploring trying to find the creepy and unusual, like UFOs and stuff. But I can respect people who do investigations and solve other mysteries, too.

[aubins]

[ oooh what will they use the tape for... yuri will stay tuned to find out. ]

... Bear with me a second here. A UFO--?

[probe]

An unidentified flying object! [the tape is used to block off part of his nail at the top so they can paint the bottom part. tape tape tape.] Like a space ship for aliens.
