I relaxed again as we reached the hotsprings, though the glow still persisted and I felt more awake before thanks to it. The ambient music and nature sounds were very nice.
I followed Larissa over to the counter where the lady tending it answered some of her questions and showed us brochures. I smiled and placed my order, and we accepted our locker keys.
She and I went to go get undressed and to quickly wash in the showers before heading into the hotsprings; pink was not my favorite color but I know it's Larissa's, and I do admit that I like the smell of cherry blossoms. The pool was nice and romantic, and even my heat sensitive body didn't mind the warmth from the water.
I settled next to Larissa and wrapped my arm around her, and the water came up to my chest. I smiled at her as I squeezed my eyes, content.
My ears perked up when I heard someone enter, and I looked over to see a half dragon-- or half transformed dragon, either way-- enter the small pink area. She was covered in white crystalline scales, not unlike my own when I'm in dragon form.
"Mmm. No." I said, still holding Larissa to my side. "You're not. You can join us if you like."

The warmth from the springs was gentle enough to feel just like a bath at home would. A nice warmth that didn't fade over time but not so hot that you would sweat a lot and get dehydrated. You could mill about in this water for hours, lazily soaking up the sights and sounds.
There were hotter pools and springs to try as well as more mild ones, just to meet personal preferences of the guests. Some springs bubbled like a jacuzzi or had other stuff added to the water that made it glow or sparkle or even change colours.
Larissa snuggled closer to her love and smiled happily. They were making so many wonderful memories. She grinned at the slow eye squeeze the dragon did, reminding her of foxes and cats. Larissa purposely slow-blinked back, giggling softly after as she leaned up and placed a kiss on the tip of Midnight's nose.
She looked over at the newcomer when she heard them approach and watched the other dragon climb into the pool. She seemed shy, a very rare trait in most dragons. Larissa wasn't bothered at all. She was fascinated to meet a different type of dragon than Midnight. She suspected she was here more to see Midnight than her though.
The white dragoness's draconic ears swivelled, the small, neat pearlescent horns on her head poking the air sharply. Her hair floated in the pool like seaweed. Her tail swished slowly back and forth in the water as she blushed and smiled. "Oh, well...that's good. This spring is so romantic, I didn't want to spoil a special moment" she said, grabbing hold of her tail and hugging it shyly. Her ears perked a tiny bit at Midnight's invite.
"I can? Okay, sure...thank you" she said, and gracefully swam over to sit near the happy couple and talk. She looked at Midnight "I um...I saw your skating dance, the dancing on the ice. It was so amazing" she said as her tail wiggled a bit. "I'm a mountain dragon that lives in some caves in these parts, I like the cold and the snow and ice but the warmth of these baths is wonderful too. I like coming here to meet people and explore the shops and activities. I always visit the springs. Sometimes people are scared of me. I'm scared of most people, too" she giggled softly, blushing.

Larissa liked my slow eye blink, and she returned it before giving me a kiss on the nose. I grinned at her, showing my teeth for a moment and giving her a kiss on the forehead.
"It is fine." I said as the dragoess told us that she didn't want to spoil a romantic moment. "We just got here."
The dragoness commented on my skating, and I blushed some. She seemed shy as she swam over, and indeed she was; telling me about where she lives and the things she does around the area. "Mmm. Thank you, I'm glad I could impress." I said with a smile. "I made a little bit of a foolish bet so I had to work extra hard to not only make sure I won but to make up for making said bet in the first place." I said, before planting a kiss on Larissa's forehead again. I then looked back at the dragoness. "I'm Midnight." I said as I decided to introduce myself. "And you are?" I asked with a tilt of my head.

Larissa's own long peachy orange hair dipped into the water, swaying in the pink liquid and petals. Several petals had fallen into her hair and looked rather nice against the orange colour. She smiled and let out a happy squeak at Midnight's forehead kiss, feeling loved.
"It's okay. We're just here to watch the stars and stuff but we didn't rent the whole pool, you're welcome to join us" Larissa reassured the white dragon. "Wow, you're so sparkly, you look like snow and ice personified" she smiled. "But a lot nicer than that ice witch that also performed in the ice skating competition today"
The dragoness smiled at Larissa's compliment and looked at her arm and hand as though to confirm the witch's description, watching her skin glitter, encrusted with crystals and scales. "Why thank you. I'm glad that you think I'm nice" she chuckled softly, dropping her hand back into the pool and looking up at Larissa. "I do try to be. Sometimes people come to fight me for my treasure and sometimes they just want to slay a dragon, but I only ever fight back out of necessity. My mother was the same way, we are one of the smaller and more placid dragon species" she smiled. "I prefer to make friends more than enemies"
She turned to look at Midnight and continue their conversation "Oh yes, you were very impressive! And you are such a beauty as well! Such lovely hair and eyes. I almost feel plain in comparison, all this whiteness" she said, blushing softly, her skin blushing blue instead of pink.
"Ohh, I see. Making bets can be so risky, can it not?" she said softly. "I do not like making them. I am not confident in winning and I fear losing. But I'm glad you were able to win and make it up" she said, watching her kiss Larissa and gathering the gist of what had happened. "Oh, I'm Nievea, Our Lady of the Snows, that's my official title..." she trailed off self-consciously. "But you can call me Nieves" she leaned forwards in a small polite curtsey, bowing her head briefly before rising again.
"Forgive me for asking but you glow and I can sense great power from you. I smell the touch of divinity upon you as well. Do you mind if I ask what kind of dragon you are? I have never seen nor heard of a dragon like you before" her eyes shifted to Larissa "And I sense she has magic as well. A human, yet...a witch?" she inquired politely. The stars overhead twinkled, all different colours. Leo's constellation was up there somewhere.
Larissa caught a scent of food and saw the hot spring attendants bringing out trays of food. She wondered if Nieves would like a snack.

I grinned when Larissa complimented on the icy dragoness's scales. Of course she would like the icy dragoness, she's sparkily. And I know the kinds of things that Larissa likes. And that is true, she is much nicer then Heather.
Though her mentioning that people come to try and fight her, I frowned. "That's not right." I said. "You should talk to some of the authorities around here, they should help you." At least I hope they would. I had been seeing more security around the place since Larissa submitted that anonymous tip that demons were a threat to the resort currently.
Then she complimented me and I blushed more. "My dragon form is a lot more spectacular then what was on the ice." I said with a chuckle. "I just have a reason not to show off too much."
"Quite risky." I said, my face going redder as she commented on the possibility of losing. "Thankfully I knew what my opponent was likely to pull, so I could use that to my advantage." I scratched at the back of my head. "She wasn't taking the skate seriously and I pulled out all the stops. Of course I won. If she had tried it would have been far harder decision for the judges to make."
"Nice to meet you, Nieves." I said with a smile as the blush started to go away. "I've been called a... Starwing before." I said, as I closed my eyes. Glittering star-scales appeared on my arms, legs and body in their usual patterns, and features like my horns, claws, wings and tail formed. I looked at my free hand, dripping with pink water as I looked at the deep darkness of my hand with the tiny lights glowing as if from a far distance. "And yes I am quite divine." I don't think I should outright tell her that I'm a godling, but she can already tell I'm divine.
"Mmhmm." I leaned down and kissed Larissa's forehead, and I caught a couple of gently floating sakura blossoms. I arranged them in Larissa's hair playfully as the attendants came in with food.

Larissa DID really like Nieves' sparkle but she had a sparkly dragon of her own already, so no matter how much she admired Nieves' appearance, she was perfectly content and happy and would never think of leaving Midnight. She knew dragons could get jealous though, especially of other dragons. Her reading had taught her that much. Not that she thought Midnight was jealous. She was just aware of the facts and would be ready to reassure her soulmate at the slightest sign of being upset.
Larissa looked apologetic at Nieves as Midnight spoke of talking to authorities.
"Ahh!" Nieves made a soft embarrassed sound and let out a nervous giggle, grabbing her tail for comfort as she looked down at the water with her shoulders hunching, trying to sink into herself. "W-well, I..that's just kind of the way it is when you're a dragon. It's traditional for people to come after us or our hoards, I don't think I should be given a special exception when every dragon else must endure such things, and I don't want to cause any trouble for the resort. I just escape here for holidays when I need a break from those kinds of things" she explained, looking shyly at Midnight and Larissa with a timid smile.
"I don't like to hurt others but....I do have a breath attack that can freeze targets in place and let me escape while they're frozen. That's usually what happens. Do you really think I should talk to the police? I'd have to go into the town..." she looked nervous again, biting her lip. Her ears went back. Going into town wasn't so easy or fun. It was too warm for her this time of year, being Spring and the days getting warmer as it crept towards summer. Not only that but Nieves had to wear a disguise so not to draw people's attention, since it made her very tense and jumpy. Being hooded drew attention as well, unfortunately. She knew she was a target and that she would stand out. Harmless conversation was all right although it did wear her down since meeting and talking to new people was hard.
She was surprised at Midnight's blush to her compliments but smiled, glad that it was taken well. She made a sound of interest at their words. "Ooh! I see. Yes, I can understand that!" she agreed. She always had to hide under robes whenever she wanted to be among other people. But now she was even more curious as to what Midnight looked like.
"I see. Well, I'm glad that all turned out well for you" she commented about the skate comp. "You must have had some luck on your side for your opponent to make such a mistake, I don't think she would make it again" she smiled. "I saw the reaction of that ice witch during the judge's decisions and I am so glad you were the victor and not she"
"And you" Nieves agreed. It was great to meet other dragons that were so friendly and approachable. Some were formidable. "A Starwing, how pretty" Nieves whispered with a smile. She tilted her head slightly, watching Midnight's eyes close, wondering what she was doing and watching her transform. She let out a gasp at the sight of the scales and when Midnight spoke "Oh my word. Yes, yes I can see that. My stars! You really are" she whispered, covering her mouth with splayed fingers and wide starstruck eyes. "Well thank you for showing me! I am blown away. You can change back now though, I wouldn't want to cause trouble to come looking for you, as you did mention the need for staying hidden" she however could not take her eyes off Midnight, she glowed and sparkled and her colouration was so pretty.
She sniffed the air as the women walked over with trays of food and drinks and placed the wooden trays upon the water where they floated. "Here you are, guests. Please let us know if you need anything else" the women said.
Larissa beamed happily as she received another forehead kiss and she licked her lips at the sight of the food "Yum! Oh, Midnight, of course, sushi!" she giggled, "I got some noodle stir fry and some cheese bread and soda" She looked at Nieves "Would you like some? I know you most likely can eat way more than this but if you don't mind a snack, help yourself" she indicated her tray, waving a hand at it. Larissa had ordered a little more than she meant to anyway.

"I mean... tradition is one thing." I said, when she commented that it's tradition that people come after dragons to either slay them or to take their horde. "That doesn't necessarily mean it's right though. If you're willing to deal with it, I suppose..." I looked to to the shy ice dragon. "But I firmly believe that one's home is a safe space, and the last thing that needs to happen is being harassed in one's own home."
She seemed nervous about heading into town, and I shrugged. "That's what I would do. If you don't want too or are scared, you don't have too." I said with what I hope was a reassuring smile. Living with Larissa has made me a bit more aware of when people are uncomfortable or afraid. As much as I'd want to encourage Nieves, I don't think she'd have the guts to go do that. "I don't think the would be slayers would stop showing up if you don't though."
"Luck? She's my ex-girlfriend." I said with something of a growl as the conversation turned to Heather. "She is nothing if not predictable. Even now she still likely thinks of me as human... though now she knows I'm more powerful and skilled then she anticipated. Less likely to be a headache.... or perhaps more likely. I don't know." I looked at my hands, at the sparkling stellar scales. At Nieves's comments about me being the victor I smiled. "I'm am glad I won myself. For more then a few reasons." I leaned over and gave Larissa a kiss on the forehead again. Then I kissed her on the lips. Mm. Mine.
Nieves told me I should change back, and I nodded; the scales fading and the wings and horns. By the time the room service came in with the food I was mostly human once more.
The food came drifting across the pink water in trays and Larissa commented on the sushi. "Of course. Did you expect anything less?" I love my fish. I picked up a pair of chopsticks and started eating as Larissa offered some to Nieve.

Nieves listened closely to the other dragon, the dragon she admired very much at this point. "I never really thought of that. I just accepted it as the way things are. I...I...I don't know. I mean, I don't like having to hurt them but they are always so determined" she said, her tail swishing in the water. "A safe space. Yes. That would be nice" she smiled. "I don't enjoy being harassed, my home should be a safe space where I can relax" she said, getting the idea. "But, they always come"
"M-maybe someone could do it for me?" she asked aloud, looking from Midnight to Larissa and back again, her gaze searching. "If you know of anyone that wouldn't mind, that would take a great deal of stress off my shoulders" she said. "I have a feeling people will still show up anyway, but even if it stops as many coming, that would be good enough for me" she said.
"O-oh" Nieves said, shrinking away under Midnight's growl, watching the other dragon look at their amazing stellar scales. She smiled and then blushed and looked away with a small squeak as Midnight kissed Larissa. It was improper to stare at such things. She didn't want Midnight to think she was eyeing off their mate either.
The food arrived and Nieves' mouth started to water at the smells wafting in the air with the steam of the bath. She looked at Larissa with an awkward blue blush and hesitated at her question. "But you only have so little food" she started, eyeing the cheese bread.
Larissa giggled at Midnight's comment "I shouldn't have, I just thought you'd want to try some of the rare delicacies on offer here, or have different stuff for meals. But sushi is good. It's healthy and you like it so I think you should have as much as you can eat" she declared. "I bet you'll eat nothing but sushi later on" She picked up two pieces of cheesy bread and gave them to Nieves.
"Ah, thank you! You didn't have to-" Nieves stammered. Larissa waved a hand and shone her a bright smile of reassurance. "It's fine, enjoy. I know, cheese bread is amazing" she said, starting to eat a piece herself.
Nieves munched hers, trying to eat slow and savour the taste. "Now that Midnight's stars are put away, I kind of miss them" she said. She looked up towards the sky, cutely nibbling her cheese bread. "But the view of the stars from the mountains is just as beautiful in its own way. You can see them really well tonight. Look, there's The Pink Lady" she said pointing at a large pink star.
Larissa looked up from her meal, munching a mouthful before swallowing "Oh, neat! And there's um....what constellation is that? I should know" she said to her mate, pointing up at it.

"I'm sure someone would be willing to go to the authorities on your behalf." I said as I started eating; nibbling on a bit of sushi as Larissa was offering Nieves some of her portion. "We're just visitors to the resort though, you probably want someone with some clout in town."
Larissa commented that I might want to try something else, and I tilted my head at the thought. "Mmmm... Maybe. But I don't feel like anything else." I said between bites. I really wanted sushi. And coffee. But coffee would not go with the fish so I'm saving it for after.
Nieve commented on my star-scales and on the stars themselves. I followed as Larissa pointed out another constellation and I tried not to snort with a mouthful of sushi. I snapped it up and swallowed it nearly whole instead, not bothering to chew.
"You should love." I said. "That's Leo."

Larissa blushed and stamped a hand to her forehead with a groan. "Oh my god, how did I not know that? It was so obvious!" she said. "Don't tell 'you know who' about this. He'll never let me hear the end of it" she said, shaking her head as she sat upright again and ate forkfuls of noodle stir fry to get the image of a smugly grinning Leo out of her head.
Her eyes turned skyward again in intervals as she ate and she looked at the stars scattered in random patterns above them, twinkling and wavering. She heard Nieves and Midnight's conversation but since she wasn't paying attention it became background noise. "Hmm" she made a thoughtful noise as she picked out different constellations and identified them from her school studies. A few of them were larger and brighter than the others - planets. Although travel to them wasn't very easy, even with magic. No one really knew much about them but it was commonly speculated that aliens lived on them. Larissa fancied the bright green one the most. It was lucky enough to have two moons orbiting it. And the purple constellation of Eva-Niamh was very good for empowering certain spells.
***
Nieves nodded at Midnight's words, taking them in, thinking over the people she had met at the resort thus far. She nibbled on her cheese bread while she talked.
"Actually, now that you mention it, I think I might know someone. He was very kind to me. But...he was quite a high profile person and when I found that out, I got flustered around him" she said, looking somewhat upset with herself. She was fiddling with her fingers, picking at her claws. Nieves oddly enough thought she wasn't the right type of person to be around someone that famous. A dragon with low self esteem was a thing almost unheard of.
"He said he was in a band that plays at many of the local places around town. It might help if I could remember his name. He did sing some songs for me; he had a very good voice" she smiled, her tail swishing under the water. "I...did very much enjoy his friendship. Maybe I could ask him for a favour. But would that be rude of me? I don't want him to think I'm using his position to get myself things. And I'm not sure what I could offer him in return for talking to the authorities for me"

I laughed when Larissa commented on not letting Leo know. I nuzzled Larissa a little before she started eating, and then I resumed eating my own meal.
As for Nieves... "The worst that can happen is he says no." I said, after a moment of though. "You're not trying to manipulate him or anything like that. If you want to give him something in exchange, maybe you can make something with your magic?" I wondered aloud after I finished eating. "I met quite a few of the band members when I was preparing my skate. They're all pretty chill, save for one or two drama queens-- and even they can be helpful if need be. You're probably overthinking his reaction."
I pushed the tray away and it drifted as I wrapped an arm companionably around Larissa as my bride contemplated the sky.
"And really, if he is your friend, shouldn't he want to see you safe?" I asked the icy dragoness.

Larissa had been looking embarrassed but she made a happy noise through a mouthful of delicious noodles when Midnight nuzzled her. She pressed back into it, returning the gesture for a brief moment. Then she was back to star gazing, picturing Midnight in her starry form with admiration and warmth. Did all Starwings sparkle like her mate did, or was Midnight extra sparkly because the spell that originally changed them was a starry angel? She wasn't sure. But she liked it.
She pondered what their future children might look like but the only thing she could really be sure of was that Midnight's baby would probably be as sparkly as their parent. Speaking of, how did one parent a dragon? They'd be as much her child as her mate's. And what did they eat? Sharp teeth suggested a carnivorous diet yet Midnight ate other things besides meat. She supposed she could always feed them sushi or dragonsbane if nothing else. If they had eggs, would the shells be all pretty? Maybe she could keep the pieces and make something out of them. Could you throw a baby shower for a dragon?
****
While Larissa floated amongst the stars and her thoughts, Nieves was paying attention to Midnight's replies. Nieves looked mildly surprised and relieved "Oh. For some reason I was expecting worse than a simple no. I'm not sure why" she said with a small chuckle, perking up at the next suggestion "Ohh, that's a good idea! I could make a gift in return for the favour, yes!" she said, liking that idea a lot. She finished the last bite of her cheese bread quickly. "Or, just give him a piece of my hoard. Goodness knows enough people have tried to take it" she said, chewing as she recalled every piece of her treasure pile. She knew each one by heart.
"I normally wouldn't part with a piece unless it's for someone important to me. But I think he is" she admitted with another blue blush that matched her pale blue eyes nicely. "It's good to have an honest person to talk to. I think he restores my faith in humanity a bit"
She looked impressed that Midnight had met a bunch of the band members "Well, that's quite amazing that you got to meet them all in person. I'm glad to hear they are chill, that is a good describing word" Nieves said with a small grin. She liked cold and icy words.
"And I will keep your advice in mind. Thank you for helping me decide what to do. I believe our talk has been beneficial for both of us. I am so glad to have met such an interesting dragon as yourself" she said with feeling. "I was afraid to approach you but now I'm glad that I summoned the courage to do so, even if my curiosity about you has doubled since we've met. You are very mysterious but I think it's a quality that suits a dragon like yourself" She began to stand from the pool, water falling off her sparkly pearlescent body "And yes, you are right. I think he would want to see me safe. Well, I had better go and see if I can find my friend before tonight's concert. I think I know where he is. And you are welcome to seek me out and say hi if you ever venture into these mountains again"
With Nieves preparing to leave, Larissa thought it was about time they got out of the spring too. She wanted to hit the shops while their dinner digested and stroll around looking for maternity clothes and parenting items.

"As long as you don't pester him too much about it, it should be simple enough to get his help." I commented when Nieves said that she didn't think it would be that simple. I let her muse on what she might ask for in exchange, as really-- who was I to tell her what to give as a gift to someone else?
"I'm glad you found someone who means so much to you." I said to her with a smile. "Though making something is a little more personal, I think. Then again, I've yet to start accumulating much of a hoard... besides my crystal collection." My ears perked and wiggled a little, reaching up to feel my earpiece. "This is the most precious piece."
"You have been quite interesting to talk to as well, Nieves." I said with a smile when Nieves commented on the talk having been beneficial. She commented on how mysterious I was and I just smiled, showing my sharp teeth. "And if you would like, I'll totally stop by to say hi."
As Nieves left, I couldn't help but steal an appreciative glance at her. Her scales were gorgeous and exotic. Aesthetically, she is very pleasing to look at-- I wonder what her full dragon form looks like...
Thankfully Larissa seems to still be daydreaming, so she didn't catch that.
Nieves left, and Larissa roused from her thoughts. I smiled at her and reluctantly emerges from the waters of the spring (it feels so nice) and wanted to do some shopping. I didn't argue with that, but I suggested that we would have plenty of time for in-depth shopping for maternity clothes and the like tomorrow.
We could still window shop though, as the concert is getting closer....

Nieves had taken Midnight's words to heart "Duly noted" she replied, vowing not to pester her only human friend. "I too am glad, friendships are most important, else you can become bitter as the coldest blizzard" she smiled. "Well, I will see what he wants and decide from there. My hoard has rare items but perhaps I'll make something as well. Then he will be reminded of our friendship and hopefully come back to see me. The mountains can get so very quiet...deep, deep silence. And while I enjoy it, some days I wish that something would make a sound. So, I sing on those days. But, I would like to hear him sing for a change"
"Ahh, how pretty. I too have an assortment of crystals and semi precious stones. I wish you the best with growing your hoard. I inherited some of mine from my dear mother, rest her soul, and from generations before me. They are priceless treasures I simply could not part with. And how unique, it's a nice piece indeed, I am almost covetous" she laughed softly. Midnight's earpiece looked shiny and cool, and Nieves had some inkling of how it worked. "It's important in life to not only aim to obtain those things which one treasures, but to realise what one already has and to treasure it dearly. Before it all goes away" she said, her voice growing soft and distant, almost sad.
She refocused on Midnight with another gentle smile as she was preparing to leave, having toweled dry and redressed in her clothing and silken robes. "I thank you and yes, please do, if you are ever in the area and I am around, I would very much like to see you again. I must go now, and find my friend, I bid you farewell and fair blessings to fall upon you both, as the snows fall on the mountains" Nieves hid her face under the hood of her robes and waved at them while strolling off and out of the hot springs.
"Bye!" Larissa waved at her retreating figure, only noticing she was leaving when the dragoness waved and parted ways. She returned a warm smile to her mate, "Well, she was nice. I've never met another dragon that sweet and gentle" she said as she followed suit and rose from the pink water, taking the towel from nearby and drying off with the thick fluffy garment. Whatever soap they used to wash it made it smell like heaven and it was super absorbent.
As they got dressed, Larissa talked about maternity shopping. She was slightly disappointed when Midnight mentioned waiting until tomorrow, but then reasoned that they'd have all day and all the time they wanted, and could go about at a relaxed, unhurried pace. And Larissa had so many things she wanted to look at! Baby books, photo albums, pregnancy products...clothes, those were going to be important later on. She took Midnight's hand in her own, which was still nice and warm from the springs. "Let's go and get ready for the concert, now that we've eaten and rested. It's time to have some fun!" she said. "I better wear something appropriate for a rock concert. Maybe hot pink and lace up boots, with some dramatic bright makeup"
They made their way back to their room. Larissa busied herself in the bathroom getting ready as well as changing clothes, doing her hair and makeup, and came out looking ready for action. "I hope Poff and the others are okay, we haven't heard from them all day! They must be having a good time"
Poff in fact was getting ready to watch a familiars version of a mini rock concert for the familiars of the magic users. She even had some of her fur spiked up.

Mentioning the concert and telling Larissa that we'd have all day seemed to cheer her up a bit. She seemed excited about the concert now, leading me up to the room to go prepare.
Larissa made herself busy in the bathroom, and I figured if she wanted to dress up so should I.
I rummaged around in my bags, and first off decided to keep my umbral boots. Next I pulled out a leather jacket, already with an enchanted gemstone on the lapel. I've had this jacket for an age and I still love it... Might need to add another socket in the future. I rummaged through my shirts and dresses for a moment. I finally found a simple off the shoulder black dress that, with a touch, turned that deep indigo to bright blue colors that I had used for my scales during the skate. Cool thing about this illusion technique-- it would shift in colors depending on the light, giving it an iridescent quality.
Once dressed, I snagged a hair-stck out of my bag and put my long red hair up into a somewhat messy bun, leaving my bangs to hang down the sides of my face.
Now, I haven't fussed with makeup a lot, but I know how to put on some eyeliner and eyeshadow at least. Since Larissa was still in the bathroom, (probably not sure what to wear) I headed over to a mirror in the bedroom and started to apply. First a nice cat's eye look, thick and bold, with a deep violet to a bright blue eye-shadow. Then some lipstick with the corners of my mouth being indigo with the center portion of my lips being a bright blue.
Once I was done I looked myself in the mirror. The jacket was definitely cut for a man but I didn't mind that at all; it was already enchanted to take my chest into account. Lastly, I snagged a black fedora and used the spell to give the band around the base of the hat give the same colors as the dress I was wearing. Thankfully it didn't cover up the bun and the hairstick, so I kept it.
"Larissa!" I called as I looked myself over in the mirror one more time. Mm, I think I need to get a cup of coffee. And some earplugs... yet I'm still glowing, kind of? "Need any help in there?"
