"That's much prettier." Ruby said approvingly. Much prettier than Dot. More impact too.
She focused her attention on the little kid and tilted her head to one side.
"I don't need help with that." Truly. It wasn't about looking 'unique'. She wasn't Phoenix.
"But I don't mind helping you with make up. But how come you want to learn now?" Like okay, Ruby had totally been wearing make up since she was about twelve, but still, it was interesting to know what the catalyst was for asking, right?
