This world's strange, too.

[She has to cover her mouth with her fist when he asks about makeup, to cover the sudden laughter that threatens.]

...not if you know what you're doing. Hold on a moment.

[She leans back out of frame, asking Guttle to bring her her little makeup bag.]

...I am so screwed.

[What has he gotten himself into]

Hold on, should I get something too? Like, there's a mart not too far from our house, is this something I should do?

Relax, I'll show you how to do it.

If you want to prove that you make an attractive girl, you'll have to do yourself up as a girl, won't you? You'll need makeup for that.

[It makes perfect sense to Lust. She doesn't imagine her opinion is worth all that much to someone she's never even met. Guttle brings her the bag and she tells him to stay put.

She needs a model, after all, to demonstrate on.]

Right, right... [He lets out a puff of air.] I'm putting my newfound femininity in your hands.

[He'll wait patiently to see where she's going with this.]

Just relax, it's hardly advanced science.

[Lust digs around in her bag, pulling out a few basic necessities.]

Start with the eyes. That's where most of the work is. Start with powder. Guttle, keep your eyes shut. Shut. We're going to make you pretty.

[She positions herself and her overly-round Spheal so Kirikou can easily see what she's doing.]

Start at the lid edge and sweep upwards to the crease.

[She demonstrates by slowly applying dark shadow to Guttle's closed lid. The Spheal waits patiently, mouth open and tongue lolling out.]

I dunno, I think I need a degree for this.

[But okay, he'll finally shut up. Kirikou grabs the 'Gear again so he can watch closer, sitting down with his legs crossed. Powder first, alright...]

[God bless you, Guttle, for helping them with this endeavor.]

Okay... That looks easy enough.

Just a bit of practice. It's just like painting, only you're doing it on your face. Blend it in so it's smooth, and smudge it up over the top of the eyelid in a smooth, arcing motion, corner to corner. Not too high, you aren't going for the love child of a circus performer and a street girl.

[Thankfully Guttle has plenty of easily visible face, for demonstrating on. She does both his eyes, going slowly so every step can be clearly seen. It's easier to do this on something else, really.]

I can sorta paint... [By which he means he's a skilled fingerpainter with small children. Good enough?]

[Every action and word accompanying them is stored away in his head. Still, that last comment makes him snort.]

I dunno, maybe there's people into that. So, lid edge, sweep to crease, bled, and smudge. I think I got it.

But it wouldn't look good on you.

Alright, that's eye powder. Then the liner, this is a bit trickier. You want to take the pencil, make sure it has a good sharp point, and slowly draw a line along the edge of your lower lashes, on top. Guttle, don't blink or jerk. Otherwise you'll be wearing an eye patch all day and I'll feel like a horrible trainer.

[Oh crap there's more-]

Is taking my own eye out something I'm going to have to worry about a lot?

Only if you're clumsy or have shaky hands.

See, it's not hard.

[Guttle looks a bit more skeptical of this step, and closes his mouth as he holds as still as he can. Lust sweeps her hand easily along that counts as his lower lashes and moves her hand away.]

There. Not difficult at all.

[Just hold on, Guttle. You are truly a saint.]

I guess not. Is there anything else I should put on?

Just some liner and color for your mouth, to give you sensual, feminine lips.

[Which Guttle will soon be modeling, despite the fact that Lust has to literally draw lips on with liner. The Spheal really hopes they're done with his eyes.]

You just outline your mouth, like this, and then fill in with lipstick.

[These are actually words he is applying to himself. What a world.]

There are different colors, right? [He's picked up on that much in his short teenage life.] What would look good on me?

Of course there are.

Probably something in a red.

A darker red or...? Oh, this sort of thing depends on what you're wearing too, I think?

[He's starting to get into it now. Sort of. Maybe?]
