[ UHHH. ]

What are you making up with it?

[allyisun]

My face?

[wow, she really hasn't seen make-up before!]

It like, uh, paint. For your face. You use it to make yourself look prettier.

[swaddledog]

Ah. [ There's a brief pause, as if she's considering even going on. ] I'm familiar with something similar. To intimidate.

[allyisun]

Make-up can be used for that, too, I hear...

You mean something like warpaint, though?

[swaddledog]

We had white powder. Ash and engine grease.

[allyisun]

Yikes. That sounds... [Gross? Primitive?] Really bad for your complexion.

[swaddledog]

I don't think that was really a concern for the most part.

[allyisun]

Really? Your skin is important, you should treat it well.

[swaddledog]

Skin care wasn't exactly one of my biggest priorities unless it was protection from the sun.

[allyisun]

Well... Sun protection is the most important part of skin care...
