Periclase returned her brush which was immediately checked for damage - a few bristles had been bent, but nothing was terribly wrong with it - and then dismissed it once more to subspace. "What's the point of even having some magical space pocket if you don't keep things there? I always have mine with an emergency kit, it's just smart." Was she going to tell purple drill-curls that she'd been instructed to do so by a giant lemon b*****d? No, she didn't need to know.
Honestly, being told she looked awful was the most damaging blow of the entire battle. More than the nausea, Mab took it the hardest. "Ugh. But you're right. I look a fright now. Also, I'm just not suited for these things."
The corrupt of spindles smoothed out her fuku and hair before offering a handshake. "Congratulations. I accept defeat." She then turned to the stands, to where the hosting generals were ostensibly watching. "I request humidifiers in the rings next year, this place is so dry it does awful things to my skin and hair. Thanks!"

Walking over, Peri shook hands with the other corrupt, grinning. “You still look good, I mean you look tired and like you feel like s**t, that’s all. Your hair is still perfect. One day, if you’re okay with it I’d love to see how your magic works for real, just…maybe not aimed at me. I won’t lie, I got a little jealous when you cast it, and I was more than a little glad you were feeling the effects of my magic still.”
Winking, she looked towards ‘Nubi and beamed, feeling a sense of utter pride in herself.
“It was a really good fight…this is the first time that I think I’ve gotten to…I don’t know. It was the first time I haven’t felt awkward in a fight before…you’re a good sparring partner, Mab.”
And hopefully…she’d be a good friend too. A good ally. The smile didn’t leave her face for a moment.

Eyes the colour of Aegean narrowed slightly as though calculating the likelihood of the other senshi being catty; her smile seemed genuine, reaching up to her eyes and crinkling her nose a little bit. No artifice in this one, she's not got that down yet. So. Either she's simple or she's just...looking for a family here. Interesting. Mab could sort of relate - she'd gone looking for a family too, of a sort. Not within the Negaverse, no, but outside of the lacklustre one genetics had seen fit to give.
"Sweetie, all I want right now is a pill and a nice cuppa. I would kill for it." Periclase' smile was returned, wan and a bit green around the gills yet as she swallowed around the nausea, Adam's apple bobbing. "But I'd be delighted to show you what I can do sometime."
Long, perfectly manicured fingers reached out to touch purple drill curls, feeling for the health of the strands and finding her earlier assessment to be sound. "I'd also love to share some tips to take your hair from...well, nice to the envy of all who see it. Because I can teach you." Soft hair slid from Mab's fingers - it could be softer. It could be a cloud of silk, like Mab's own oilslick when it was freed.
"Likewise." A little lip service went a long way, but there was some truth there too - when it came to sparring, Mab often had to refrain from using her very destructive magic; being stuck using melee tactics - which she was not comfortable with - meant such battles were fairly awkward for her. Especially when she was outclassed in rank.
Now that the fight was over, Mab waved over to Cursa and Cornetite. "Those two are my...well. They belong to my general...or my general's things...I suppose. We are comrades." Downplaying a connection was good misdirection, should Periclase prove the sort that Mab herself was. Time would tell.

The battle was over and Peri had put up a fantastic fight. Her magic had worked wonders on the other Corrupt and it had Nubi cheering along at every turn. A bit of concern crossed her face only when her dear friend ended up spitting out some blood, but it didn't seem anything too serious.
Once things were over she dashed out of the stands and made her way over to Peri's side. It didn't matter to her that she was getting super friendly with her opponent. Nope it didn't matter to her at all. In fact she ignored the other girl and wrapped her arms around Peri, giving her a good squeeze and just the tiniest of kisses was planted on her cheek.
"I'm so proud of you. It was a beautiful fight to watch." She released her dear friend and finally addressed the other Corrupt in the ring. "You put up a good fight dear, but you shouldn't be so mean to your beauty products. Treat them with as much love as they treat you." Because Nubi could understand looking fabulous, she did it for a living.
"I'm Nubi by the way, and we should definitely all go out together some time." She was always looking to make more friends in the Negaverse, and she could see why Peri was being so kind to the other corrupt. It would be fun to go out on patrol with her some time.
