We usually wear our hair differently, but.

[she pauses.] I don't know. I like looking like him.

[aubins]

[ liner... liner... ]

Did you ever do those tricks where you pretended to be each other to confuse people?

[probe]

[snort.]

Yeah. One time, uh - one time we were at a tavern, and this guy would not lay off on Taako, so he was like, "Okay, we can go on a date, and I'll know it's a bad idea if me from the future runs in and slaps me," and I kicked the door open, slapped him, and ran away.

The look on that guy's face. Hah! Incredible.

[aubins]

[ there's a pause and then he has to stop drawing liner on her eyes because he's laughing too much. ]

That is the best way to turn someone down.

[probe]

[wink]

Sometimes you have to go hard!

[aubins]

Memorable too. That guy won't be forgetting that for a long time.

[ when he has his laughter under control, he'll go back to that liner and finishing touches ]

You must miss him.

[probe]

[she keeps her eyes closed, and then:]

Desperately. [softer:] He's my whole heart.

[aubins]

[ he leans back, the eye make up mostly finished, and caps off the liner. he'll add a little mascara, before giving her a lil' kiss on the forehead. ]

Is... that what you're here for? Trying to get back to him?

[ there's a pause and then: ]

Don't answer if you're going to get backlash for it.

[probe]

[she smiles a little at the kiss.]

Sort of. [that's the best she can do.]

[aubins]

We're all here for something important. It stands to reason you must be too.

[probe]

Eh. [she opens her eyes, glancing at him.] The same rules might not apply to us, babe.

[aubins]

Not the same prizes either?

[ he'll just. give her a gentle nudge to take a look at his handy work in the mirror. wow! ]

[probe]

[a shrug - and then she looks in the mirror, and pauses.

a beat, and then she laughs.]

Oh - wow. Wow, that looks incredible, babe, you're good at this.

[aubins]

I have a little experience, sure.

[ ha. ]

The gold looks really good with it.

[probe]

[she turns to him to put her hands on either side of his face so she can kiss him properly.]

[aubins]

[ oh! smooch.

he'll accept a smooch. ]

[probe]

[when she pulls away, she takes his hands.]

Thanks for making me feel extra pretty.

[aubins]

[ he squeezes her hands. ]

When the canvas is already excellent, it's hardly a challenge.
