Paint them? [Okay yes she's seen such things by now but the offer still comes as a surprise. Plus there's the head-emptying euphoria of seeing everyone again. She may or may not have been clinging to Yuri's hand the whole way over.] That's...my goodness, certainly you can! But, I'd like to offer you something in exchange, it's only fair. Can I try yours? Or maybe I could braid your hair?
I'd like that! [She's practically giggling. Giddy with joy. It feels so blissful, to do something so frivolous after a day of high tension and pitched emotions.
And frankly, she never got to spend as much time with Yuri as she'd have liked. At least there's space to make up for it now.]
Colours, hmm hmm. I think maybe a little pink would be nice? Though a gradient too...honestly, whatever you think best, I'll happily take. It's my first time having them painted, you're the expert here.
[ Yuri gets several colors and now that they're seated at the nail counter, Yuri starts to apply the base coat and the colors. She will eventually make it to be a pink starting gradient and ending as white towards the nail tips. In between each layer, she'll cure it with a UV machine so that they dry fast. The end result will be the pink-white gradient with a red rose in the center of each nail. ]
Thank you, Rosamund. I used to do the basics of this a long time ago, but I finally got to learn more in-depth about it after coming here. I practiced a lot...
[ .... ]
And I... learned this design for you, so that I could use it when you came back...
[She quiets down, looking her in the eyes. Silent.]
...You...you didn't have to do that for me, Yuri.
[Maybe the certainty with which she said it is what troubles her the most. It makes her uncertain of how to feel. Touched of course, but a little heartbroken too. She can't say why.]
[She holds her gaze a moment longer. Then she smiles, taking both her hands and giving a gentle squeeze.]
They couldn't have done it without you, you know. I heard all about how hard you were working over there. We have so much to thank you for Yuri. We owe you a great deal.
[And she'll punctuate this point by drawing her fingers up and placing a kiss on the knuckles. No extra push from mystical affects needed.]
[ Ah... The kiss makes her face a little like the color of her hair, but she smiles. ]
Thank you. I keep hearing that, but I suppose... I don't really realize it. I just wanted to be useful and helpful to everyone. Being like that for everyone... really made me happy.
[ Yuri doesn't withdraw her hands, so yes, Rosamund is good to try painting on her nails. ]

[ Yuri is fine to be clung on, so she'll slowly lead their way to the nail painting counter. ]
What colors do you want? I can try a gradient, or a pattern if you want.

You're practically magic? I can't believe this.
[Wiggles her nails, then taps them against her cheeks.]
I'm a modern woman at last! They're stunning Yuri, you can't have just learned this in a few weeks? They're much too expertly done for a beginner.

Didn't you look up any for yourself?

But I knew that we would get everyone out of there, Rosamund. I believed... in everyone.

Why don't I try painting yours, then?

I don't know how you could have missed it. Really, no one ever stopped singing your praises. You ought to feel very proud of yourself.
[okay she will SET HERSELF TO THIS TASK.]
What colors would you like? I'm not sure I'd manage much in the way of design, unless we use one of these little sticker things.
no subject
Then... I will. Thank you, Rosamund. Um... I like blue. Stickers are fine. I want to see what you would come up with.
