“It looks fine, Talon.”  The lady of Luminosity laughed. If they were to redo it now, this would be the fifth time she’s had to redo it. Lux had let Talon agree to her doing his makeup so she could have some practice. It wasn’t every day that she herself wore makeup anymore, and sadly her technique was running stale. She was lucky, honestly, that she had someone like Talon to help her with the application process, even if all he knew was heavy dark makeup, she could use this to help her later.  “Besides, I think you look fine without the makeup on, honestly. “ “It’s not makeup, it’s a tactical choice in eye protection.”  The assassin grumbled, lip twitching ever so slightly. He would have thought that Luxanna, the Demacian’s Grand Tactician, would have been able to figure out the many uses for his eyeliner.. “I thought that you would have been able to figure out its tactical uses.” He then turned back to the vanity mirror and stared at himself some more. “Was the flower crown necessary? I look ridiculous.”

“Of course it is. It’s a tactical prop.” Lux replied, ever so mockingly with a cheerful laugh. The assassin turned sharp to look at her, daggers piercing in his golden eyes. “Don’t mock me, Demacian.” His words were sharp, and his eyes narrowed down on the mage.  Even in anger, the Demacian couldn’t help but notice how beautiful the color of his eyes are. She had been staring at them for so long, but never mentioned the beauty that reminisced from them. Luxanna stared back at Talon, looking straight into his eyes. “ . . . What?”

“Has anybody told you that you have beautiful eyes, Talon?”  His eyes are always hiding under that hooded cloak he wears. She’s never had a good chance to look at them until now, and even she can admit that she’s a bit jealous, actually, of how pretty they are. Her eyes were just blue, a rather common color in Demacia. She had never seen such bright, golden eyes like his before.

; Patience, practice, and finesse.
