[ Ann leans in with a speculative hum. ]

Now, green can be a very tricky colour to wear, but I quite like that deep smoke effect, actually.

[untodeath]

[ Though she looks skeptical, she concedes with a sigh. ]

It's not terrible, I suppose. I'll try it. Just because you two like it so much.

[death_glare]

If I'm ruining the fun for you I will go back to sitting on the couch.

[ He says a bit bitterly. Still, he hands the magazine to Ann to use for reference. ]

[untodeath]

[ That's all he needs to say for Grell to reach out for him. ]

And when did I say that, darling?

[spiderlilies]

[ With a snerk, Ann shakes her head and sets about searching through her eyeshadow palettes for some proper green shades! ]

[death_glare]

You didn't sound very keen on my suggestion.

[ But he sits back down, idly perusing some of the product with mild interest. ]

How much does this stuff cost you? It isn't as though we have jobs yet.

[ Suspicious! ]

[spiderlilies]

My family was rather wealthy.

[ With a smooth shrug, she smiles. ]

[untodeath]

So, I'm a bit stubborn, too.

[ Leaning into him not unlike a chair, Grell reaches out to caress her knuckles along Ann's cheek endearingly. ]

[death_glare]

[ Maybe it's because he's trying to be a bit more open to the intimacy, of maybe it was the tender touch Grell just gave Ann - Either way, William decides to slip his arm around Grell's middle, holding her in place while he reads the color names from the back of a palette. ]

More than a bit, honestly.

[untodeath]

[ Grell flushes with how happy she is to have such attention, let alone both of them present to offer it back. ]

It isn't that expensive. [ She comments with a snicker, wiggling to snuggle more comfortably against William. ] It's yours now, and you're entitled to use that money as you see fit, in any case. With as smart as you are, you'll make it back tenfold, I'm certain of it, darling.

[spiderlilies]

[ Cupping her hand over Grell's, her smile warms just a touch. ]

You're a shameless flatterer, you know that?

[ Taking that hand in an embrace, she gently removes it, visibly shaking off the sappiness! ]

Now, enough dawdling, let's have some fun♥

[death_glare]

[ William allows Grell to lean on him, arm still embracing her, as Ann sets about dolling her up. He can't quite see the process from this angle but it's not as though he's being taught the technique. It will be a bit of a surprise when their done. ]

I assume to take this all off before you sleep, too? It seems a bit of a waste.

[untodeath]

Having fun is never a waste, darling.

[ Grell states quite matter-of-factly. She inevitably folds her arms atop William's, humming with joy as Ann decorates her face. It's soothing, Ann's delicate motions of her wrist, the brushes caressing her skin-- and, of course, William holding her! ]

[spiderlilies]

[ With a light chuckle, she taps her brush to the tip of Grell's nose to ensure she doesn't fall asleep on her! ]

Well said. For once.

[ Once she's finished, Grell looks rather stunning! Her features have been feminised, with extra care to her eyes, cheeks, and lips. When she takes the mirror to see, she gasps aloud.

Proudly, Ann gestures vfor William to take a look! ]

So, what do you think? Like the look you chose?

[death_glare]

[ It takes far longer than William would have guessed. He'd have drifted off himself if he didn't have to support Grell against him. Finally, Ann addresses him and he lets go of Grell's middle to allow her to turn towards him. He looks her over for a good while, his face hardly showing any expression. ]

It's a bit much for everyday. I do like it, though.
[ A pause. ] Do I dare call you beautiful or will that be the end of me tonight?

[untodeath]

[ With baited breath, Grell's eyes had been fixed on his, awaiting his opinion-- but she certainly hadn't expected such praise! Eyes widened and glistening with joy, her shoulders rise with a dramatic intake of breath. ]

Beautiful-- really?!

[ Reaching to cup her hands over William's cheeks, she plants a kiss on his lips!! ]

[death_glare]

I wouldn't have said so, otherwise. You know th--

[ He's cut off by that kiss! But he doesn't reject it, either. As he said, he brought it on himself. ]

As I was saying, you know I'm not one to lie.

[untodeath]

[ She pets the pad of her thumb along his cheek endearingly. ]

I know, I just--

[ Flustering with a bat of her lashes, she shrugs! ]

I didn't expect you to think it, let alone say it!

[spiderlilies]

[ Having been watching them with an endeared little smile, that quickly changes to an offended drop of the jaw! She reaches out to bop Grell's shoulder! ]

Of course you're beautiful, darling! This isn't like you!

[death_glare]

I agree with Angelina. A bit of an underwhelming reaction, honestly. Perhaps I will keep my opinions quiet next time.

[ It's hard to tell if he's flirting with such a monotone voice, but he certainly knows what he's saying and how it will hit her. ]

[untodeath]

[ With a mighty huff, her shoulders rise, very flustered indeed!! ]

Of course I know I'm beautiful! Don't go twisting my words all about, you--

[ Reaching out to hook an arm around Ann's waist, she pulls her in, up against her side, to press a kiss against her lips! ]

You are a minx-- albeit a talented one.

[ And allowing the other redhead free, her attention snaps to William. ]

And you should do no such thing!! [ She declares with a push to his shoulders, so that she may straddle his lap and wrap her legs about his waist. ] I don't suppose you could tell me again?

[death_glare]

[ See, that's more of what he was expecting. It's been quite a bit of time since he last had Grell in his lap, he almost hates to admit he'd craved it, a bit. ]

I could.

[ But, he doesn't, instead just settling his hands upon her waist. ]

[untodeath]

[ She firmly smooths her hands over his shoulders with a purring hum. ]

So, tell me♥.

[spiderlilies]

[ Cute, but Ann's not about to let them forget about her. She embraces Grell from behind, arms draped over her hip, and cheek nestled against her neck. The smile she gives William is a wicked one, indeed. ]

I might know a way to make him bend to your will~.

[death_glare]

That certainly wouldn't hold the same sincerity, if I did so merely because you wanted me to.

[ William watches where Ann's arms slide over his, in order to rest slightly below them. But, his eyes flick back up to meet hers when she speaks. ]

Do I dare ask?
