Chapter 343: Arc 5, - 37: Perilous Business
As the rain turned from a drizzle into a deluge that thudded against the window and roof within a matter of seconds, the two looked back to each other.
"I’m not an idiot," Fumeko’s eyes softened. "It must’ve been tough on you, sorry to hear it."
"I thought I told you not to say sorry!" Tiffany scowled like an angry puppy.
"It’s just something people say, alright, you don’t have to take it sincerely or anything," Fumeko crossed her arms and groaned.
"So," Tiffany sighed and took up an eyeliner pencil, "Thou wish to be sincerest with thy initial remark? That I, Stella Vespertillio, the Child of Void within the Sea of Stars, am awesome?" she smirked.
The brunette rolled her eyes, "Yeah, yeah..."
"I shall accept thy praise in behalf of the void~ Now, come-hither and receive mine gratitude," she shook the eyeliner pencil.
Fumeko pouted to the side... "Ugh, fine, since it’s raining anyway." She allowed the blonde to apply eyeliner and mascara at a leisurely pace.
She watched Tiffany carefully trace over the skin of each eyelid and pressed a finger under Fumeko’s eye to steady the brunette’s face. The blonde’s touch was delicate—akin to handling the petals of a flower.
Minutes went by before Fumeko fluttered her eyes in the mirror. She squinted at her reflection and tilted her head... "I’m still not into this stuff..."
Tiffany shook her head in a sigh, "Fine, suit yourself," she turned to arrange the things on her vanity.
Thunder roared out the window as Fumeko walked around and took a gander of the blonde’s room. Her eyes glued onto a short-haired woman in a pearl necklace, advertising some lipstick.
